Love this cool misty morning with the clouds hanging over the mountains. Just went down to the town square and enjoyed all the people in town shopping at the plant fair and going to the local tail gate farmers market. Friends visting friends, stopping for coffee and going in and out of the shops. Love this small town.
Today we had a taste of summer time temps in the high 80's. I am still enjoying all the spring flowers and don't want them to go away quickly. The peonies are just beautiful this year , I especially like the old fashioned white ones a friend gave to me from her grandmother's house here in Black Mountain. No telling how old the plant was that we took rootings .
May 8th Mother's Day
A note from our guests.
"I knew I'd like this place as soon as I stepped foot inside and saw Carolyn's painting of the hiking boots and her collection of walking sticks. Seems like Carolyn and I are kindred spirits of sorts, with our love of hiking, biking - adventure!!
My amazing husband took me up here for Mother's Day weekend and I can't think of a better way to spend it than waking up to coffee on the deck, a hike up Greybeard Mtn, shopping and dinner in town and hopefully later a glass of wine and a cribbage board on the deck.
What a great place to just stop all the busy-ness in my head and just be grateful for what the Lord has blessed me with. I need more than the weekend to do that , but it's a start."

What a great way to start your honeymoon by staying in the Lookout Room. It is a great get away for a night or for several days. Breakfast is served up on the private balcony as you look over the lake up to the Blue Ridge Mountains or in your room as you relax in the comfortable white robes .
Also a great place to get engaged , we are happy to help get flowers etc to make the day all the more special.

The Lady Banks Rose is putting on a show this spring. It almost covers the back of the garage up to my studio window. The yellow blooms don't last but two weeks but it is worth the show.

"Carolyn and Dave,
We had a lovely time at your wonderful B&B.The house is wonderful as well as the views. We enjoyed swinging by the lake, the cookies and a delicious breakfast. It has been a great and relaxing time away for our 8th anniversary. We hope to be back again.
