Embark on a 2.2 mile walk on a country lane with plenty of bird and wildlife watching or simply sit on one of the large porches in a rocking chair and watch the sunset. We often see deer and wild turkeys strolling through the yard at dawn or dusk and a nearby pond offers a spring symphony of peepers that is wonderful to listen to while drifting off to sleep.
The inn is certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation, so look for activity at the bird feeders and the many bird houses situated throughout the grounds.
