Goodnight, Irene

Because of Hurricane Irene the last part of our trip changed from our original plan.  The hurricane was headed right for Mollie's home in Virginia Beach, VA.  Mollie's home isn't just any ordinary home but a lovely boat on the bay.  She needed to get home fast!  So, we rearranged our plans and as soon as we finished with our tour at Maker's Mark we headed back to Charleston - but we could not make it that day.  The plan was to find a place to spend the night and have Mollie back to Charleston and her vehicle by noon the next day.   We did a quick online search and with a couple of phone calls we had THIS!!

We ended up arriving at the Cranmore Cottages at dusk after a dinner in Hendersonville, NC at one of our favorite pubs there - Hannah Flanagans!  Now, granted, they charged us a lot more than they would have if we had made reservations before and weren't 5 people but just look at what we got on the spur of the moment!

This was just the cutest little place.  Two bedrooms, two baths and poor Mollie had the sleep on the sofa again. (and then get up, ride 4 hours and then drive 8 to get home)

We didn't have time to enjoy the fireplace, the jacuzzi, the view or the just darned right comfy atmosphere.

But each one of us agreed we would go back in a flash!  It was so cute and well done.  You would have loved it!

Check them out at their website.  They really are very reasonable.  Cranmore Cottages  We were in the Treehouse.

It didn't take us long to unload the wine and relax!  Great spot - even if just for a quick stop!
