Across the Way

We’ve stayed here twice now, and we’re fans for life. The Menagerie has a calm, quiet inn-like feel, but with comforts that some of the finest hotels leave out. The grounds are thoughtfully arranged and comfortable, the room designs are bold, and every room has its own personality. We’d love to try them all. After a day of wine tours, the pool and hot tub are great, and most downtown places are an easy walk away. I do miss the lovely breakfast basket they had last year. We told lots of people about that thoughtful treat and were sad it’s gone, but the property is still extraordinary.

Main Street is within walking distance, though the Menagerie sits in a really quiet part of town. Check in was easy, and the room was big, beautifully decorated, and packed with more amenities than we needed. The grounds, pool, and hot tub were gorgeous too. We absolutely loved staying here. Book it soon!

We stayed in the Little Bit Alexis cottage and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The private patio out back was a favorite, and there was plenty of room to sit, with both a living room and dining room. Lots of linens and complimentary snacks were provided too. Such a great stay, and we’ll definitely come back!

We were in town to plan a wedding and stayed in the two bedroom Aurora Bungalow. It’s only a few blocks from Main Street, and self check in was easy. Tawni was wonderful to talk with when I made the reservation, and communication from the staff stayed excellent right through checkout. The bungalow’s decor is charming, eclectic, and so unique. The beds were comfortable, and the linens and pillows felt high end. We kept noticing eye catching rugs, art, pillows, and furnishings, and joked about wanting to take it all home. Thoughtful extras included a coffee bar, some drinks in the fridge, a small cocktail setup, snacks, and cozy robes. It was chilly while we were there, but there were two inviting outdoor seating areas, plus the pool and fireplace cabana across the way. We loved our stay and would happily return if we get the chance.
