Pheasant Tales Bed-and-Bistro

While the nearby Symmes-Wicks House offers an early-20th-century experience, Pheasant Tales is a modern, newly remodeled guesthouse with some unique touches. Proprietors Chris and Rick Taylor are both avid pheasant hunters and anglers. After Chris began preparing gourmet meals with local pheasant, hunters told the couple that if they opened a bed-and-breakfast, they would stay there on hunting trips. Chris instead opened a bed-and-bistro (Pheasant Tales's guests still get breakfast) specializing in eclectically prepared game birds, with impressive results. The inn is done in reddish pine, and the large rooms are comfortably furnished and have a full kitchen or kitchenettes. With advance reservations, Chris can often prepare a gourmet dinner in the evening (starting at $35 per person). The Taylors also breed English setters, so there is almost always a brace of puppies providing entertainment. There's an extensive deck, plenty of space, and good fishing nearby as well.
