Quick Getaway!

Kevin and Jilliane became engaged at a beautiful resort in the White Mountains. They loved the place, and presented Ev and I with a gift certificate. We finally found the time to visit it, and had a great and restful time. We definitely will make a second visit because we left the certificate home!! Thanks for the gift Jill and Kev-we loved it!


                                                           The hotel from afar.
The entrance
Pretty
Building has been redone.
Going home-it was COLD!
Interior
One game room-Evan beat me at this checker game.
Entering the pool area
Beautiful mural
Hot tub heaven...
Mural goes around the entire pool, and has lots of 'hidden' images.
Can you see the bird's nest?
Our room
Hallway lined with oil paintings-mainly landscapes
Painting filled the halls with  lovely ambiance.
We had a very restful time-there were only six other guests besides us in the hotel on the first night. We were the only guests in the dining room that evening. We got a private tour of the 9000 bottle wine cellar. We were joined by one other couple on the second night.
The food was delicious-we even had a slice of elk liver on pickled pears with a sweet onion relish-it sounds strange but was delightfully tasty served to us! We took pics of the dining experience with our cell phones-Great time.

Great pictures! I'm glad you guys were able to go check it out. It is different from the other resorts... not as "grand" but still great.
