This is the most magical location. We love sharing it with those who appreciate nature and a historic downtown arts community. Nearby restaurants serve delicious, home style and ethnic offerings. A few blocks along the river trail is On the Rox bar. Enjoy a cocktail with expansive river views and live music. When in season, help yourself to our garden's offerings.
