A year later, when a nearby couple divorced, Schneider purchased another home. Eventually, Schneider added the nearby Langston House restaurant to his collection and had six old tenant cottages relocated to the property. Each of the 24 guest rooms is now meticulously decorated with antique furniture and plank flooring, offering the Southern charm that attracted Schneider to the area more than 20 years ago. They include some modern amenities like televisions, VCRs and, of course, Schneider-brand stereos otherwise available only in Europe. Meals can be had at The Langston House, where a Scottish chef serves up gourmet fare.
Most dishes are of Southern origin with a European flair.
Schneider now owns in the area. Guests can go on one of the village's signature quail hunts, transported to the game lands by mule-drawn wagon or on horseback, with any of the trained hunting dogs kept on the premises. There is also a tropical bird aviary with macaw, cockatoo and other species, and a barnyard featuring ostrich and other exotic animals. But Macpherson said many visitors to the village are most intrigued by Angus - the unofficial mascot. Angus, a golden retriever mix, is Macpherson's own dog and is known to escort guests around when he's not frolicking in a fountain or lying on one of the many porches.
