"We sat on the porch for two hours and didn't say a word. That's what we'd come for, and that's what the inn quietly handed us. The river, the breakfast, the rocking chairs we didn't want to leave."

"Breakfast alone was worth the drive from Indianapolis. The country ham and Rachel's biscuits, in a room that feels like a friend's grandmother's parlor."
