cabin in the pines Serenely nestled in the woods, in harmony with its habitat, the "cabin in the pines" offers guests a quiet hideaway with a front porch to sit and do nothing but "cultivate the seeds of serenity" ("The Art of Doing Nothing" p. 9). Nearby, a stand of sunflowers and a pair of bluebird houses beckon guests to meander down a wooded trail where a bench provides a welcome spot to listen to the murmur of the breeze in the pines. Air conditioned, queen-size and twin-size beds, and tub with shower. Rate is $125.00, which includes a dessert and beverage, as well as a full hot homemade breakfast prepared with organic and locally grown in-season ingredients. Cabin_in_the_pines_interior

Sip a cup of early morning coffee or tea while greeting a new day on the cabin in the pines porch. A large feeding station draws a chorus of birds to serenade you while awaiting the morning's breakfast.
