Beechwood Inn Fire Pit Nears Completion
Dear Friends:

The lights are up at the fire pit! Thanks to the dimmer, we can turn the lights down just enough to enjoy each other's company and watch the fireflies dance - with a glass of wine of course. Just waiting on Toccoa Natural Gas to get the pit hooked up. Yes, because of the proximity to the forest just behind we opted out for a wood fire.

Hope to see you soon,
David, Gayle, Megan, Shea, Amelia and Olga

Recipe for White Chocolate Covered Lavender Honey Pound Cake with Lavender Ice Cream
Our Farm to Table Dinner featured this combination on our menu last Saturday - and now everyone wants the recipe. As Chefs at Beechwood Inn, Gayle and I strive to make our plates beautiful and our dining exquisite. We look for things that will make a visit to Beechwood Inn in not just memorable but a magic experience. Using unique products is one way we can offer that experience. One product we love is culinary lavender. https://beechwoodinn.ws/lavender-honey-pound-cake-with-lavender-ice-cream/
About Our Love Affair with Culinary Lavender
Lavender is a member of the same family as many of our most popular herbs. At Beechwood Inn we have been using lavender as a flavor component in our cooking for years. So to us it is not surprising that lavender use in food preparation is becoming more popular.  If grown organically (without pesticides), flowers and leaves can be used fresh, and both buds and stems can be used dried.  Culinary Lavender is a member of the mint family and is closely related to rosemary, sage, and thyme.

Have You Rafted the Mighty Chattooga River?
It's almost summer and time to raft this wild and scenic river and create an experience. Water level is up, the sun is out and the scenery is beautiful. You will see wildlife, lots of waterfalls, and best of all the Rododendron are starting to bloom. Gayle and I love this river and have kayaked and rafted it for years. Our first trip down the river was in 1975. 

Afterwards, come dry off and sip wine at Beechwood Inn. https://explorerabun.com/blog/category/whitewater-rafting/
