We brought three grandsons here to experience the farm that grandpa grew up on. They are big city kids and thoroughly enjoyed running free over the empty cornfields and lovely walking trails. The Lavender suite itself is lovely! High-end appliances fireplace, and fire pit However we came in March and it was pretty cold. I have some mobility problems. I don't use a wheelchair, but I have to have pretty easy access to shower and such. This place was perfect. They also have some tree houses that would be fun, but that would be difficult for me and this place. There's plenty large enough to sleep five or six. The grandkids said they wanna live here. That made me very happy because I was worried that they might be bored. There are no theme parks here. they loved exploring the woods and the frozen creeks along the walking trail. The hosts could not be more perfect. We were responsive. But left us to our family time!

Table 1912 is back! Exterior signage has Table 1912 on the left, Gilmore's Pub on the right and…read moredouble glass entry doors to the right of that patio. Go straight and take a left through Gilmore's, to reach Table 1912. Wasn't super intuitive but you'll figure it out. Attended their pre-opening dinner, and tried, well, everything. Comfortable, friendly, attentive service (note: when you make your reservation you can request your server). A beautifully paced 4-course meal. I'm sure if you wanted to you could just order what you want and be done with it, but otherwise ordering of drinks, salad/soup course, entree and dessert is paced out, allowing for visiting, enjoyment of the restaurant, drinks, food, and your company. Our meal was about 2 hours. We started with the baked clams, bacon jam croquettes, and pork belly. Clams were my favorite but all were wonderful. The pork belly was a delightful combo of sweet and salty. For salads we got the ginger orange salad and the steak salad (they were out of the carrot bisque). The ginger orange salad was a nicely balanced sweet, bitter (from the greens), and salty (parm crisp) concoction. The steak in that salad was incredibly tender. A classic combination of flavors with olives, feta, quality Italian dressing. For entrees our table got the stuffed chicken, lamb, and the strip loin. The lamb was tender, tasty, with the right amount of gamey flavor, and the mushroom strudel was to die for. Crunchy, delicious, really incredible flavors--would be great as a stand alone appetizer option as well. Our friend enjoyed his chicken. The steak was fine, but probably would try something else next time (it was a little tough, and the garlic mashed potatoes were only ok). On to dessert. Wow! Turtle cheesecake (forgot picture) was very good, our friend loved the red velvet cake-beautiful presentation. But the star of the show was the lowly ice cream sundae. Usually just an after thought on a menu for kids or the unadventurous. But oh.my.god. A scoop of vanilla and a scoop of chocolate ice cream, both from Hansen's dairy. A house made cookie crumbled for the base, (note: everything on the menu is house made best i can tell), black cherry sauce, chocolate sauce, and marshmallow cream. Soooooo good. Enough for two for sure but don't feel bad if you don't want to share. A full bar, good beer selection, and a nice featured cocktail menu. Check this place out--you will not be disappointed.
