"Decadent
French Toast... voted one of the 100 dishes to eat in Alabama before you die!"
Guests
are invited to come sit and chat by the fire, enjoy a book or game from
the reading area, and each morning, a wonderful breakfast is served at
the table that used to reside in Sarah's grandmother's 1888 historic registry
house called The Magnolias in LaGrange, Georgia. Additional furnishings,
such as the Magnolia needlepoint rug and rocker by the wood stove, also
came from the home.
"The
four days we have spent here have been wonderful! We really enjoyed the
great breakfasts,
the
hiking, the beautiful scenery and relaxing on the porch. Playing
with Baxter has
been
a special treat. The best part has been the absolute silence at night!
We hope to return
one
day. Thank you!"
