The quest for a perfect A pink whirlpool bath built for two peeks from behind antique French doors set obliquely. Stunning forest green, antique, pressed-tin ceiling panels frame the tub and contribute to the feel of a rustic garden. An enclosed shower, pedestal sink, and small refrigerator complete the glassed-in bathroom.
Subtleties abound, offering an endless supply of exotic memories. These are triangular windows, a restored hay door, specially created stained-glass pieces, and a library nook set for browsing. Guests love the electronic remote that ignites a gas fire stove at the foot of the queen-size bed. Furniture is attractive and comfortable, and a custom-crafted corner cupboard hides a color TV, VCR, and selection of videos. The original cedar siding wraps the main Inn's Carriage House in a warm red glow. This treasure for two is affordable at $205 per night.
