Dining Out
Madison’s Restaurant at the inn offers a well-appointed dining room overlooking a waterfall and stream. The scallops ceviche
appetizer features the shellfish flavor in a light but tart marinade, while wild mushroom risotto tastes creamy and earthy.
The Wine Garden at Madison’s establishes a more casual setting in the mountain breezes. Even in August, I love the butternut squash soup’s tastes combined with a plate of Sweet Grass Dairy cheeses and wine.
A Little Something Extra
In the building next door I can shop at Acorns, featuring antiques and home accessories. And near my room, a butler’s pantry
stays stocked with treats, from fresh fruit to ice-cream bars. How can I resist ice cream at the end of the day? I’m here
to beat the heat after all.
