GARDEN GABLE SUITE

This upstairs "gable suite" is a romantic adventure.  You can enjoy moonlit evenings on the balcony, overlooking the garden.  Morning sunrays sparkling through the priceless stained glass window in the "writers alcove" may inspire you to compose a poem for your sweetheart. Soft moonbeams peeking through large stained glass skylight over the twin "his and her" antique bathtubs -- mean romance is sure to bloom.   Sleep like a lullaby on the comfortable queen-sized Eastlake Victorian bed.   Then, next morning awaken to the aroma of fresh brewed coffee wafting up the spindled staircase.  This luxury suite is both romantic and elegant -- expecially if you believe in and practice "mixed bathing."  Guests enjoy looking for the love birds (only one pair) in the documented wallpaper. 
Friday or Saturday:  $139. 
Sunday-Thursday:  $89 with full breakfast or $69.50 with light breakfast.
