THE GARDENS, FISH POND &
PRIVATE 7200 sq. ft. ENCLOSED
OUTDOOR BUILDING
The inn is
sophisticated and of architectural interest, but the views of the
garden and surrounds are also wonderful, as is the food. House and
garden together were designed for peace. There are six and a
half acres for walking and a guided path with little lights leading
to a gazebo nestled in the woods.
One can be on an
intricate sitting deck under mature maples and madrones near the
flat ston
pyramid where in a little Zen garden, happy splashes are
heard as birds fluff and drink from
two granite water sculptures.
Oaks rustle in
the breeze as fish swim and water lilies float near well-maintained
pines, with a rockery and stone bench. To sit here is to inhale a
different pace of life. Small maples are tucked away by the
rhododendrons and azaleas. Here, the careful use of color, floating
magically in a sea
of green and white, makes for elegance and a
feeling of serenity.
Next, you can go
on to the natural landscape of descending crescent cement wall
gardens of iris, berries, grapes and a small strip of lawn shaded by
mature trees. As you meander you will pass a moss and fern garden
leading to the natural landscaping interlaced with the
professionally landscaped garden of mature dogwood, magnolia,
hydrangeas and the Mediterranean entry
garden
of formal and
seasonal
plants.
An enclosed
7200 square foot building which is a retired dressage arena and is
now used by guests to play horseshoes, Bocce ball, or do any other
exercise. There is walking under the trees on acres of private inn
property and tiny lights lead you to a little gazebo where you might
go to hold hands!
