If you haven't connected with Irene and The Ampersand Inn yet, I appeal to you to do yourself a favor and make this connection. Irene, the staff and The Inn are comforts away from home. We enoyed a two night stay to celebrate my birthday with friends. Irene and Alethia are a dynamic duo providing everything within their power to ensure we had a nice stay. Our room, The Sexton, had a small balcony to sit and connect with nature, a fireplace, gigantic soaking tub, comfy furnishings and was spotless! The breakfasts were delicious and I would be remiss if I didn't mention that each day their is a different cake loaf offered. Yum! Also, I treated myself to the massage service with Debbie. It was wonderful. It is a short drive to Lake Mohawk and some wonderful restaurants . I could go on but, it would be better if you went and experienced this magical Inn first hand. I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you Irene, Altheia, Debbie, and our awesome friends for sharing this gem with us.
