And received the warmest welcome possible from her. Charles was friendly and welcoming and took time to engage in discussion about trees; it’s a welcoming hospitality that can only be offered by people like these. The food, with Charles’ touch, becomes a delectable culinary delight. More tasty or elegant cuisine is most certainly nowhere in sight. Rochelle, Jessi and Dierdre pursued their tasks and scurried around; from people like them can such excellent service only be found! The accommodations are elegant and fit for a king and queen; it’s cheerful, comfortable, beautiful and spotlessly clean. Virginia and the USA has no more wonderful or elegant inn; whoever is one of its guests will be anxious to go back again. The stars of the kitchen staff and servers are brightly shining.
