| CHERRY CREEK INN CONTINUES TO OFFER MORE! What's happening - click here Happy 2008 - As I write this on January 1, 2008 it is snowing up a storm and it looks like we have real winter at last. The Holidays were very nice, we had guests throughout - the last extended family from NY and NC are just beginning to pack up the 16 or so members to hit the road homeward. 2007 was a banner year for us - with Innkeeper Number One - Sharon Howe Sweeting - doing yeoman service. Now, as we begin 2008, she has welcomed Innkeeper Two - Lester - back home where he is going to try his hand at retirement - again! He continues to be listed as a consultant - in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan - but promises to be home at the Inn more beginning now! Lester had not seen the Inn except in photos for the past 9 months - and he is both surprised and pleased at the results of the hard labor of Larry, Kurt, Scott and Jeff in creating two new buildings on the property and extending the gardens as well. The place looks fantastic - those who have been here recently are singing the praises of the Cherry Creek Inn! We truly believe that we have taken what was always (since its founding in 1990 by Joan and Tom Owen) a wonderful place and made it into a Sanctuary! We are revising our Inn description now - as follows: Luxurious home on 31.5 acres of rolling farm land dedicated to providing sanctuary for the weary traveler. The classic 1860s Italianate Villa features three elegant rooms each with a private bath en suite plus a 2 bedroom suite featuring a sitting room, private bath and satellite television. Other amenities of the Cherry Creek Inn include a mystery tower filled with board games, a leafy conservatory, the English style pub room, carriage house special events facility, 3,500 volume Victorian library, club house with summer lawn games, and a pavilion with hot tub surrounded by undulating terraced gardens. This retreat for those seeking quiet relaxation is enhanced with generous amounts of good local food, hearty for breakfasts and Ambrosia teas. A wonderful oasis for intellectual or physical pursuits or just relaxing. For those who need access to the wider world, we have Wi-Fi now available in the Inn. A guest put it well - 'This is like staying in a Victorian sea captain's house -- full of treasures collected on distant voyages.' Our friend and collaborator - Carol Lorenc continues to provide fascinating bus and van tours which often wind up with a luncheon or tea here at the Cherry Creek Inn. Last year these included Amish Flair Bus Tours - up to 60 people touring Amish country and then sitting down to a home cooked luncheon at the Inn - featuring Amish recipes such as beef roast, roast chicken - Amish macaroni/potato salad, and wonderful pies and breads from our own Amish baker. Smaller groups enjoyed Amish tour Shopping and Spring Tea, Amish Flair II - Naturally Yours - where participants visit various local organic farms and the Cheese Factory - buying the ingredients for their own picnic menu. In the Fall we featured fall foliage and the usual tour of Old Order Amish country followed by tea or luncheon at the Inn. Sharon and Carol's final venture for 2007 was the Holiday Luncheon with a train theme - accompanied by holiday shopping at the various venues in the Amish community - especially the toy factory and various quilt shops. The menus for these luncheons included Erie RR Chicken, Patty's Scalloped Potatoes, The Squire's Corn Fritters, GNF Apple Compote. Long Island RR Bread and Butter Pickles, and Royal Blue Line Pie. Model Trains were running at the Depot in Cherry Creek and the Cherry Creek Hardware - both unique venues in themselves. We are dressing the trails and soon will be welcoming the snow - and hope to see you all here at the Cherry Creek Inn. 2008 promises even more fun. Join us at our sanctuary in rural Chautauqua County! |
