| Executive Chef David Knapp's flourless chocolate cake. |
Despite the snow last week, all our cabins were booked for Friday night, with many couples making a full weekend out of it. We did have a few one-night bookings on Friday, though, which gave us the chance to meet some friendly new faces who checked in for Saturday.
Chef David made a special treat for everyone who stayed with us over the weekend: heart-shaped cakes made of rich dark chocolate drizzled with white-chocolate.
Of course we had lot of romance packages to fulfill, so Debbie, Dan, and Chris were all on “Cupid Duty,” firing up the fireplaces, delivering chocolates, and scattering rose petals. One couple came home from dinner a little early, so Dan literally had to slip out the back door as they were coming in the front—like Santa nearly getting caught while making a delivery! “Don’t want to spoil the mood of a nice romantic evening by having the innkeeper unexpectedly standing in the living room with the fire-starting kit,” he chuckled later.
As for us? Dan and Debbie spent a quiet evening at home, on call for any of our guests who might’ve needed anything. Chris and I mixed it up a little: I asked to handle arrangements this year. I sent him on a fun little scavenger hunt to some of our favorite places; the last clue brought him home to a candlelit dinner in front of the fireplace and a bottle of wine from one of our favorite Virginia wineries.
We hope you had a Valentine’s Day that was just as wonderful.
