Gorgeous japanese-style small garden, impeccably maintained, aesthetically gorgeous plantings. Fantastic in early fall, but it appears with all the azaleas and Rhodos we will need to come back in spring.
This was a brief, breathtaking stop during a busy day of hiking. It felt like a tranquil shift we needed to explore mindfully before starting the bedtime process. We were there for about 15 minutes but loved every second of it, especially the beautiful zen garden area.
Found this as a drive by on our last trip ti Maine. Here with family now. EnjoyEd visiting again. Beautiful setting for gorgeous pics.
