They will ask you all kinds of questions during your "stay". I specifically told them, because they are always around in their kitchen and living room, I was leaving my dog in my room while I went on a hike. They said they wanted to get him out and that it was OK for him to run around. Well, he is a small, delicate and rambunctious chihuahua that can easily, accidentally get hurt and I told them I wanted him left in my room. When I came back from my hike I discovered the owners had gone into my room as the door between the bathroom and room was left open (I had left with it closed) and the rugs were shifted. And my dog was not in the quarantined space I had created for him to be in while I was out of the room. How do I know what happened to him? The owners treat this inn as their home because that's what it is and apparently they will do whatever they want. At real hotels you can hang a Do Not Disturb sign on the door and not worry. If this place had signs to hang they would say We Will Enter Your Room Without Permission Even When You Ask Us Not To Because This Is Our Personal Home.

Nestled in the grounds of the lovely retreat, Gather offers a small but well refined menu. Located outdoors, lawn-side candlelit tables ring 2 fire pits. These have comfy chairs for enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail. The atmosphere is classy and casual with friendly hosts and severs who take time to answer menu questions and be sure you have what you would like. With a full bar, vast wine and beer list featuring local selections, and a variety of non-alcoholic beverage options, there is something for everyone. Our meal began with a flavor packed broth soup, featuring lemon, parsley, chicken and rice. The hearty portion was perfect for 3 to share. Next came the salads: baby greens with pickled onions and homemade vinaigrette, and rubbed kale with cranberries and nuts. Delicious! The swordfish main is crafted with an amazing balance of sweet blueberry sauce and a touch of cayenne to make the flavors pop. The chicken dish featured a tasty glaze and features grilled lemon, a surprise twist. Both mains were served with a veggie side and atop smashed potatoes- creamy and flavorful, and with lots of texture. Dinner was capped by the featured dessert, blueberry lemon panna cotta. So smooth, creamy, and heavenly! Just the right amount of citrusy syrup to complement the richness. Gather features fresh and local ingredients. This family owned and run restaurant is one of many endeavors Lisa and Jonathan Burr have successfully fully created. You will not be disappointed with your Gather dining experience!

Unfortunately for us, The Oak Room fell far from the tree family. Upon entering the vintage estate, you are met by 5/5 ambience and a truly enticing looking dining experience. This is the point where our dining experience peaked. Read on if you want the full tea. In a nutshell, our evening was a series of disappointments painted onto a theme of incredibly slow service. Regarding the service, at the 1:40 mark past arrival, we had still not received our entrees. We watched all the tables around us wait and wait for their checks, only to have to finally request the check. It was not busy. My small 6oz water glass sat empty most of our 2+ hours there. With how salty our food was, this wasn't good. Service 2/5. For the food, 4/5. We ordered the beet salad hors d'oeuvres, which was perfect. An amazing plate. The butternut squash soup was incredibly sweet and not what we expected. Tasted like 50/50 squash/brown sugar. The duck entree and tenderloin steak were quite good, but not memorable. $65 for 6oz steak and no side. Was the crust of the side bread salted? Was the steak actually salted? Hm. More water please. Now the intangibles. Weird intangibles. So during this 1:40 waiting for the entree, I spilled my red wine and unfortunately my wife had a white shirt on. ‍ Good thing it wasn't a first date! A little while later a man walks up to our table and says Hi. Hi we say. My wife and I glance at each other, both thinking "who the hell is this?" Normal clothes, no name tag. Next he asks how was our food? Oh ok, manager or owner. Good to know. Well, we hadn't received our food yet and took the opportunity to ask if we could have it. Oh yeah, he looks at my wife's wine covered shirt and says "I see you have plenty of wine" and asks me if I would like to order another glass of wine. Did the owner just make fun of us for spilling wine and ruining a shirt? Yes he did. For the inconvenience of sitting there with no entree and rarely water for 1:40, they offered to reduce the check. They took off the glass of wine that I didn't get to drink. Throughout all this, I'm sitting in a broken chair that keeps catching my sweater and causing a snag. Overall, our experience was 2/5. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I'll rate it 3/5. If I want to spend 2 hours spending $200 and getting made fun of by a restaurant manager, I'll be back. If not, I'll go elsewhere next time.

Everything was solid but at this price point for the area, we didn't think it met expectations…read more The room itself was in a tastefully decorated in a country style and was nice. Some tables had nice views. The sommelier was quirky but very down to earth and made interesting recommendations. And then managed to spill the wine as he poured it. Service was attentive but uneven. One of our party got the tenderloin and ordered it medium. When it came out it was beyond well done. It took some time to flag down the server again and she whisked it back to the kitchen with an apology but then our table waited for the meal to come out while the rest of the food cooled. I was surprised they didn't offer something to make up for their rather obvious error. The tenderloin was not even remotely close to the requested medium rare. Maybe if it was closer to medium or closer to rare it would be understandable but this was beyond well done. We each had one drink and one glass of wine. One of the drinks was good the other was a very standard cocktail and was extremely watery and not made at all as ordered. For nearly $300 for two people this just didn't meet expectations.

Inside, there are exhibits and events, with tons of hands on activities. My kids went right for the Bubble exhibit. The exhibits appealed to both the kids and adults in our group, from aquarium tanks to contraptions, puzzles and instructions on how to solve a Rubik's cube, to natural history and a live leaf cutter ant colony. The kids also had a blast creating a marble run in the "Tinkering Lab", a classroom full of supplies to get your imagination and creativity flowing. There is a large gift shop, filled with all kinds of goodies from toys to science kits. I love that the museum extends outside. There are trails, a summer cafe under a tent, water features, and more. This was a great way to spend the day, and if we lived locally, I would definitely get a membership so that we could come back.

The hyperstimulation caused by some of the exhibits is far too stressful for them and there needs to be more ADA infrastructure for physically challenged children. For example, I could not take one of my children on the beautiful nature path because the gravel would have gotten lodged in their wheelchair. Also, some of the visitor services staff were quite short and impatient with us, because we were not aware and familiar with all their rules and policies. One of them actually yelled at my child for tapping repeatedly on the fish glass because it was 'annoying' them. My advice: do some research on the museum to see what kind of amenities, rules and policies they have in place before you go to decide if it's the right place to spend a family afternoon.
