Beyond your room at The Inn

Being a bed and breakfast, the first meal of the day is a must! The breakfast menu varies, but may consist of eggs benedict, Belgian waffles with fresh fruit and cream, blintzes, or homemade bagels and quiche. Breakfast is served in the formal dining room with an ornately detailed ceiling from 8:00 to 9:30. Continental buffet breakfast can be made available before 8:00 and until 10:00.
Complimentary fruit, snacks, juice, milk, coffee, and soft drinks are available throughout the day in the Butler’s pantry. Guests will also find freshly brewed coffee on the second floor for easy access in the early morning.
