Unbeknownst to me, last night Susan made reservations at the Arcadian Inn, a local Bed and Breakfast roughly 15 minutes away from our home. It is always amazing to me how many wonderful things can be found by simply venturing out a few miles away from home.
Here are a few pictures I took over the past 24 hours. If you follow me on Facebook you may have already seen a few of these. Sorry.
The first few pictures are of the inside of our room.
That’s the bed and a bunch of pictures of old dead ladies. I had always wondered what it would be like to have a dozen dead people looking down on me while I am sleeping in bed. Now I know.
Here’s a shot of the television, sink, restroom, and shower:
And, turned slightly, you can see Susan reading by the front door.
The little table had a personalized message for us when we entered the room:
We actually found our name written all over the place. It was a nice and personal touch.
Speaking of personal touches, this morning the staff delivered breakfast to our room. Here’s our patio table and chairs. We had fruit, quiche, waffles, coffee and juice.
The entire house (which was built in 1908) was connected by wooden paths.
The front of the house had a large wrap-around deck with several rocking chairs to sit in. We took our coffee over there and enjoyed the beautiful weather before it got too hot.
The Arcadian Inn specialized in making people feel like royalty… literally. We will definitely go back and stay again.
My wife is HUGE fan of Bed & Breakfasts. They are always pretty nice places to stay, relax, and “get out of the world.” Sadly, we don’t stay in them nearly enough. This looks like a really nice one.
Looks really inviting and relaxing. I may be visiting there soon too!
My wife and I stayed in the very same room a few winters ago. You are right, they do a great job with all the small touches, and the breakfast was very good. Glad you all enjoyed the experience!
