getaway


me and the jt needed to get away. the jt's DNOW + my huge counseling conference (huge describing the work involved in the conference, not necessarily the conference itself) = a chaotic past 4 weeks.

we talked about a cabin in gatlinburg but decided it was just a bit too far away and too much $. then we decided to do nothing at all. then we got home from church sunday totally spent and decided you know what...
we need a getaway.
we did some brief research online (about 3hrs worth) and found a new place that met our long list of requirements about 1hr20min north in Burlington, KY.

built in the mid-1800s:



our biggest requirement?

a fireplace.

we didn't want to just veg in front of the tv...

we wanted to:
rest
feel refreshed
breathe
unwind



our 2nd requirement?

last. minute. specials.
we got 20% off for booking
the b&b the day of!

booked @5:30pm.
arrived @7:30pm.


our 3rd requirement?


a b&b known for their breakfast (hey, that's important!)

i had creme brulee french toast for breakfast.














& the jt had pancakes...

super yummy


breakfast tasted even better than it looked.







if you are in the area, definitely check out this beautiful b&b!


thinking of a spontaneous, quick getaway? ... definitely well worth it.

  4. thanks erin!
    the b&b is actually both... there are 2 houses on the property - the 1st house is the main property and has 3-4 rooms (which is where we stayed) - the log cabin is basically in the backyard of the main house and has 2 rooms. we'd love to stay in the log cabin next go-round. the log cabin was built in the early 1800s - the airport gave them the cabin, the b&b had it taken apart and then reconstructed on their property...
    la -- keep trying... soooo worth it beyond belief! and our room had its own private entrance so you can really getaway and not see/talk to anyone!
