The Gladstone

You’ll think of springtime and flowers when you enter this enchanting guest room. Imagine……a day riding the sand dunes and an intimate picnic by the lake. Then come home and cuddle in freshly ironed sheets, surrounded by the soft, yellow décor. Sip wine by the fire in a wingback or laugh and giggle in a relaxing Jacuzzi.

Room Rate: $199 – $299 per night.

The Victorians thought women were prone to fainting from excitement, but they were wrong. The ladies would momentarily pass out because their midsections were bound so tightly.
