You’ve just awakened ...Indulge in a sensuous soak or a power-jet shower with all of our favorite spa treats before your day of play begins. You may be hoping to accompany the Innkeeper, Sarah, to gather some local, farm fresh eggs. Maybe this morning she’ll tell you stories about her travels to Russia! Then as you decide on what Nectar you’d like to experience today, she sets about to prepare your special request--dining privately in the Red Lace Wing Dining Room with a view of Teracina Garden & 20 feet from Butterfly Creek! What could be more enticing than mimosas in Waterford crystal goblets--just a small detail of what you’ll enjoy during this haute cuisine signature 3-course delight. Bone China, silver service & your favorite music leave you feeling like the Majestic Beings you are! You’ve got the day wide open & full of opportunities--what will you engage in after Nectar? Boating or walking up waterfalls, perhaps shopping or even a skinny dip in the creek if you dare!

Panaceaous!!!! All that one needs and full of surprises delighting the eye, palate, heart and spirit.
