I found this bed…read moreand breakfast last minute a while ago and the prices were very reasonable for what they were. I really got the best bang for my buck and is a true all inclusive experience that I will never forget. The owners here are also very friendly and their mission about starting this place years ago shows their dedication to the hospitality market. This place is clean and it feels like I'm staying at a four-star hotel. They do have a lot of terms and conditions when it comes to booking so be aware before booking please don't make any changes. The lobby itself is beautiful , the rooms itself are incredible. They have a beautiful balcony if you stay in the main part of the hotel. The outdoor area is also really good and has great views. you even have a bonfire. The guests here are really down to earth and friendly. This place hosts weddings and other Gatherings as well. Since there wasn't a lot of guests here, I really wish there was an opportunity to actually have the bar open during our visit. The Innkeeper also does a great job taking care of the hotel. Even though it's a bit far even though it's a bit far from a grocery store I recommend buying your stuff in advance. If you're making your way to the winery Trail or to the hiking trails you're in the absolute heart of it all and that's why this whole house and the prime location that it is! Highly recommend staying here . You will not regret your stay

Owl Creek Vineyard has 10 hard ciders to choose from and it has some sangria too which is a bonus. Staff here was not really too friendly and their food was pretty expensive which is probably the only reason why I'm subtracting a star. A lot of other people like to dine outside and I can see why because then scenery out there is pretty beautiful especially by the little river where you can see the train go by. Parking isn't too bad either so going up that hill is a little bit treacherous upon entering. The ciders were pretty good though nothing stood out to me as the best flavor ever but they were good nonetheless. We enjoyed seeing the Cat come by . Restrooms were pretty clean too. Overall, I really enjoyed coming here and if I ever come back over here I would come back again to The Owl Creek Vineyard.

There is also food for purchase (and they allow you to bring your own picnic food as well). The space is large and relaxed with seating indoors and outside (several levels behind their building). We enjoyed our tasting flights on the top covered, shaded patio. You are able to mix wine and cider in a flight. They have lots of different cider flavors and they are all gluten-free. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. You may want to bring your growler to take cider home - they were sold out of cans on our visit.

I think the dining room configuration has settled into the bar area, which is large, well lit and comfortable. They added a salad bar several months ago. It's a good salad bar with several side salads (like potato or pasta salad) always available. Then they added an AYCE taco bar on Tuesday night. Then they added an AYCE fried chicken on Wednesday night. I've settled in to a usual meal - chicken tenders, cowboy beans and and corn cob Bette's. I know it sounds like a meal for a 10 year old but they are all great and better than comparable items in the area. I wish I didn't like them so much so I could try other items. My wife often gets the salmon, but has got grilled cheese and soup the last couple of times and pasta before that. I have branched out into appetizers a couple of times and have enjoyed pretty much all of them. Servers are friendly, attentive and efficient. Some seem like they've been there since it opened.
