"A Loaf of Bread, a Jug of Wine, and Thou"
|
This summer, take a step back in time. Steal away from the madding throngs for a lazy afternoon picnic. For a few hours, place yourselves in the midst of James Tissot's 1876 painting, "The Picnic". Your host will prepare a picture-perfect Edwardian repast to enjoy in the shade of a favorite tree or on a secluded dune at the beach - even cushions for your comfort, perhaps while reading from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam! Ask for details when booking your reservation. Norfolk's only Bed and Breakfast on the
water! On the banks of the Lafayette River, this exquisite gem (c. 1922) is bathed in
genteel Southern charm and grace. Filled with exquisite appointments, it is truly an
antiques lover's paradise. The perfect setting for a small gathering or off-site business
meeting. "We just adore your place..." |
"...water views as stupendous as Martha's Vineyard! We loved our stay! |
While dressing for the day, guests are greeted by the aroma of early morning coffee, and are welcome to watch the day unfold on the river. Waterfowl, crabbers hauling their catch, the ODU rowing team at practice, and all forms of nature quietly waking are but a few of the gentle scenes to witness. And if you think this sounds interesting, wait until you see the breathtaking sunsets from our dock! |
