Shanty Days at B & B Huge Success




Well... what a weekend! Our guests needed to get ready from travel to attend a relative's funeral, so we gave them a noon check in. That evening we sampled the local Von Stiehl Winery's Chardonnay and Satin Red. Both were wonderful, though I am super partial to reds and kept that bottle close to me. From Renard's Cheese we had the fresh daily cheese curds (another of my favorites), 2 year old white cheddar and several other incredible Algoma Cheeses for our evening social hour. By 9pm we were placing the chairs on the lawn for Saturday's Shanty Days Parade at noon. Belle Isle Inn is right on the parade route so we were up close and personal. Breakfast before the parade consisted of: fresh white and golden peaches, warm banana sour cream muffins, portobella, zuchinni and swiss quiche, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, Creamed yellow potatoes followed by cinnamon cream cheese breakfast dessert with blueberry topping. Mmmmmmmmmm! Then it was parade refreshments; Bloody Marys and Corona were the top choices. The following morning during breakfast our guests gave us a gift with a note. A wonderfully perfect fit for our B & B, a wall hanging that says "Home Away From Home." The note says "Tia and Scott, Your hospitality has been the best! You Truly made us all feel at home! Good luck in you new "Home away from home" endeavor. Fondly, Dave and Chris, mark and Amanda, Denny and Wendy Di Maria What wonderful people! I was truly sad to see them leave our Inn. ! I can't wait for them to come back again.
