Poppy Hill Bed & Breakfast

Frommer's Review

This restored country farmhouse, surrounded by large oak and pine trees, provides a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of the developed areas of the park and nearby gateway communities. The inn is decorated with a variety of antiques, most from the 1800s, but also including "new" furnishings such as the 1925 Wurlitzer baby-grand piano in the parlor. (You're welcome to tickle its ivories.) Each of the three attractive rooms declares its name in its individual decor -- Mariposa lily, iris, and of course, poppy -- all area flowers. Rooms have queen-size beds (the Mariposa lily room also has a twin-size day bed), down comforters, bathrobes, antique furnishings, and lots of personal touches. The Mariposa lily room has a shower/tub combo; the other two rooms have large showers.

There are outside sitting areas, and a great amount of rolling lawn and flowers -- one hillside bursts into color when the poppies bloom in spring. The second-floor balcony overlooks an ancient spreading oak tree, which entices the birds to entertain you while you relax in quietude. The full homemade breakfasts are extra special, with a hot entree such as eggs picante, puffed apple pancake, or croissant French toast. The entire inn is nonsmoking.
