Romantic Interest |
 Antique, clawfoot bathtubs (and bubble bath!), the European-style balcony and fireplace lounge, and the fine art, vintage quilts and Italian lighting fixtures decorating the Inn all combine for a lovely, romantic ambience. When Dan and Elisse found the building, it had been severely damaged by the floods of 2001 and 2002 and abandoned. They saved this historic building and are lovingly restoring it - and if that's not romance, what is?
