starry starry night and miss 4th of july inn rooms

Starry_starry_night_bed_2I wish I may, I wish I might, wish upon a star tonight. Even without stars to wish upon, on rainy nights listen to the raindrops fall on Whiteley Creek Inn's tin front porch roof outside the "starry starry night" guest room window. A primitive hand-stitched angel watches o'er a twig headboard while a breeze stirs the curtains hanging from a scraggly tree branch. In the private bath, with a clawfoot tub and a pump that draws water into a white enamel basin, a window frames a view looking outside toward the Mustard Seed Mercantile. Rate is $95.00, which includes a dessert/snack and beverage, as well as a full hot homemade breakfast prepared with organic and locally grown in-season ingredients.  Miss_4th_of_july_bed

Hooray for the red white and blue! Long may she wave! In the "miss 4th of july" guest room, tucked just off the porch inside Whiteley Creek Inn, guests may immerse themselves in a patriotic decor. Tiny stars reminiscent of the night sky dot the fabric curtains draped over a flagpole, an antique copy of the Declaration of Independence hangs on the wall, and an interlocking puzzle of our country's founding fathers beckons guests to continue piecing it together where others left off. In the private bath with a clawfoot tub, a red pump draws water into a white enamel basin trimmed in red. Rate is $95.00, which includes a dessert/snack and beverage, as well as a full hot homemade breakfast prepared with organic and locally grown in-season ingredients.
