When we were there, the warm smell of popovers filled the living areas downstairs. The Gibsons' home is not easy to find, so call before you head out there. The inn closes in winter, when access is a problem. This massive older log home has four guest rooms with shared baths and a few fun surprises. Long porches run the length of the house, front and back.
Neighbors are visible but at a pleasant distance.
Massive knotty pine pillars support the high roof. A half-log mantel is suspended by thick rope over a lava rock fireplace. Play chess or Yahtzee downstairs in the living room, or pool or darts upstairs. The stereo plays CDs, and again, you're welcome to bring your own. These features, as well as the open floor plan of the living and dining areas, makes this a great house for a large group to take over.
