"Will you marry me?" on the bed, a giant cookie popping the question, and also an embroidered beach towel," say innkeepers Carolyn and Frank Troxell. "One charming young man serenaded his bride to be with a special song he wrote just for her." Celebrate your love in your room with views of the south pasture and pond, private balconies, Jacuzzi tubs, and luxurious robes. After your fairy tale night, enjoy a delicious breakfast of gingerbread muffins with cinnamon butter, and ham and egg gratin served on English muffins. Attentive hosts, the ideal romantic setting, the perfect piece of jewelry and the answer “YES!” equal an unforgettable proposal.
