The Homestead

I'm back from my conference at The Homestead.  What a place!  I've been to some nice places before, but this one takes the cake.  It's an old resort--founded when a lodge was built on the site in 1766--and had all the charming old-fashioned details I love.  As promised, here are some pictures.

The front porch...

The lobby...

A set of windows in a hallway.  These lined the hall, and there was a sitting area with chaise lounges and comfy chairs that spanned the length of the hall...

The library...

An old letterbox outside the library...

My room...

And, the grounds outside my room...

How can you not be inspired by such a beautiful setting?
