Gourmet Breakfasts
Larry's fresh brewed coffee, tea and hot chocolate are available for early risers. Guests delight in a cup with the newspaper by the fire or on the veranda.
Our chef, Tracie, prepares a gourmet breakfast served amid sunlight and plants on the sunporch or by cozy warmth of the fireplace in the dining room.
Individual tables for two or four let guests choose between privacy or the opportunity to chat with fellow guests.
Guests choosing to sleep in may request an in-room continental breakfast.
Our gourmet bed and breakfast menu varies daily, featuring an assortment of chilled juices, seasonal fruit dishes,gourmet entrees and great teas and our own special blend of coffee (the beans are roasted for us here in Asheville).
In addition to serving fresh fruit salad with lime yogurt topped with pecans and grapefruit ambrosia, we feature a number of warm or baked fruit dishes which bring
raves from our guests, including poached cinnamon pears and strawberry soup. 
Among our guests' favorite entrees are stuffed French toast (topped with orange sauce), homemade ruffled crepes with roasted red bell pepper sauce(featured on the cover of Marquee magazine) and eggs florentine topped with a tomato-basil vinaigrette, made with basil fresh from our own herb garden.
And save a little room... we delight in surprising our guests on occasion with a dessert course.
Guests love our homemade just-out-of-the-oven lemon tea bread, sour cream raisin muffins and biscotti.
Afternoon Refreshments
In addition to our delicious gourmet breakfasts, we host a reception each evening. Hors d’oeuvres and seasonal beverages such as hot mulled cider or refreshing iced vanilla-berry tea are offered in our parlor in front of a warm and cozy fireplace.
In the summer enjoy your refreshments on the veranda overlooking our beautifully landscaped grounds and award winning English gardens.
Hors d’oeuvres may include our toasty caramelized onion tartlets or eggplant crostini with goat cheese as well as a variety of cheese and crackers.
