A wonderfully romantic getaway is the Bed & Breakfast at Laurel Ridge. Twenty-six acres of gardens, woodland, and pasture provide all the privacy and beauty necessary for a romantic escape. The Inn borders the Rocky River, with a large and beautiful stand of native Mountain Laurel. A walking trail leads to the river, deer are seen grazing in the pasture, and the gardens are often a site for marriage proposals and weddings. Four rooms, each elegant and inviting, some with a Jacuzzi, are ideal for any couple. Host and accomplished chef, David, serves a divinely scrumptious breakfast of pumpkin basil pancakes, cheddar and sun-dried tomato souffl?, Dave's version of huevos rancheros, fresh juices, and fresh-baked pastries. Located in Chatham County. For more information, contact 800.742.6049 or visit www.laurel-ridge.com
