The garden (with pond
and waterfall no less…) is a labour of love for the retiree owners at this quiet, homely
B&B. Legendary breakfasts are served on a sunny deck with expansive views. You'd be
wise to factor a leisurely second cup of breakfast coffee into your day's plans.

Luxuri-
ate in a modern apartment in a prime position overlooking the lake, right by the town -

lake on a sweltering day.
