"LOVELY!"
The atmosphere, food, and hospitality were just wonderful at Silverstone Inn. We had a delicious omelet with cheese, leeks, and mushrooms and a side of bacon the first day (along with fruit and homemade pumpkin bread). The second day was something I will never forget...almond-crusted French toast with maple syrup from their own maple tree (along with assorted fruit and homemade zucchini bread from their own garden)! It was soo good--it's my new obsession! Can't wait to go back to do it all again. The room was very clean and inviting. We stayed at the White Pine room, and it had plenty of room. The bedding was so comfy. Everything looked so elegant and luxurious. We probably will upgrade to a room with a tub, however, next time--the shower is meant for one. :) Awesome trip and lovely people!

Fall will be here before you know it! The beautiful photo below is of Buhl Mansion Guesthouse & Spa in Sharon, Pennsylvania during autumn. This inn has a world-class spa, and its luxurious guest rooms feature Jacuzzi tubs and fireplaces.
