The front hallway is now more cheerful and definitely warmer. Or should we say, we added a little Orange Sherbet (from Lowes’ Seaside Retreat collection) and some Mustard Yellow (also from Lowes, from the Waverly collection). Those names don’t sound like a tasty combination, but oh, do they make for an outstanding color combination on the walls.
The Inn’s walls are getting a fresh look, thanks to some art selected by Innkeeper Dave. This painting series is the Great Room’s newest acquisition:
Today was a hot day. Okay, so it only got up to 83 degrees, but that’s “hot” here in the national forest and mountains (we’re at about 2600 feet above sea level). We were really surprised to hear that it was hotter this week at the higher elevations along the parkway. However, we do know that the moment you drive into the forest to reach us on what we like to call our 2-mile tree lined driveway, the temperature drops by about 9 degrees. Nature at its best!
When we bought the Inn on Mill Creek, one of our (well, Dave’s) ideas was to have a “walk-up” PC for our guests. We already have wireless internet service throughout the Inn, but if you don’t bring your laptop with you, the Wi-Fi doesn’t really do you any good. Well…now you can check your e-mail, Google a nearby restaurant or attraction, or find out if your favorite baseball team won their latest game — right in our Great Room.
The paddle boat, perfect for our small mountain lake, arrived a few days ago. Of course, Csaba Pugga wanted to try it out immediately with Dave at the helm:
