My life these last couple of months has been peppered with crisis, chaos, and confusion. I needed a break, a retreat. Scouring through possible destinations, it was love at first sight when I came across The Inn at Peralynna Manor.

The moment I walked in I could feel layers of stress shedding from my shoulders. This place was comfort food for my soul. The owners, Cynthia and David, reminded me of my neighbors in the country town where I grew up; they were warm, friendly and inviting, while you didn't see them all the time, you knew they were around keeping a watchful eye in case you needed anything.

I needed very little this weekend, a comfortable bed, a hot bath and a place to write and clear my cluttered mind. The king size bed, fireplace and Jacuzzi tub was the perfect setting and cured what ailed me. When I wanted to venture beyond my sanctuary, I made my way to the library and nestled in the luxury of an over-sized recliner that comfortably accommodated me and my laptop.

Besides the beautiful decor, hospitality, and fantastic omelets what I found most amazing was that while this place was filled with happy couples rekindling romance, I, a party of one seeking refuge felt right at home. Proof that the Inn at Peralynna has something for everyone.
