To facilitate a healthy guest environment, all toiletries and personal care items are natural and earth-friendly, and only "green" cleaning products are used. The Inn features several outdoor gathering places including the broad front porch featuring a wooden porch swing, rocking chairs and bistro table and chairs. The Inn's public spaces also include a tea garden and a secluded garden sitting area.
