My husband and I arrived earlier than normal check in and were cheerfully greeted by Gail and Marty both. Gail escorted us to our room personally, and she patiently showed us all of the rooms in the carriage house before we settled in. Our room, number 10, exuded country charm from the moment we stepped inside. A small electric fireplace stood in the corner, and although it wasn’t real, it gave the room ambience at night. The bed was dressed with a bedspread that matched the darling wallpaper and curtains perfectly in the bedroom. The windows offered a lovely view of the barn and forest right behind the carriage house, and they were easy to open in the evening for fresh air. The armoire concealed a TV and DVD player along with some drawers for clothing. The room also had an alarm clock and an old fashioned looking radio. The queen size bed was comfortable, and the pillows were nice as well.
The bathroom was oversized, supplied with wineglasses, and stocked with interesting magazines to read. The bathtub allowed plenty of room for me to sit and soak while relaxing with a glass of wine. The inn doesn’t provide alcohol, but we brought our own wine in a cooler that sat in the bathroom for the duration of our trip. The bathroom looked absolutely darling with the cloth shower curtain and deep red curtains. Our luggage fit nicely behind the bathroom door. The whole room looked as though a professional interior decorator matched everything in it. There was some water damage on the ceiling, but Gail informed us that she hadn’t had time to paint yet since the chimney had to be sealed recently due to a leak.
Marty prepares delicious fresh meals. Our breakfasts were fabulous and included eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit cups, and stuffed French toast over the course of the weekend. My husband and I opted to dine at the Brookview Manor Saturday night, and we were in awe as course after course was delivered to our table. We began with handmade rolls and homemade cheese stuffed tortellini that tasted as though it had been freshly made and imported directly from Italy. The minestrone soup brimmed with fresh vegetables that bathed in a broth so tasty I can’t describe it adequately. Intermezzo tasted wonderful, because I love lemon flavored sorbet. The main dish of salmon presented with zucchini as “scales” impressed me. The salmon was cooked perfectly and seasoned with a Thai sauce. The crème brulee served for dessert tasted as though Marty poured cream from Heaven into a bowl and gently crisped the top before adding a strawberry garnish.
While at this quiet bed and breakfast, my husband and I took a few short drives to local towns to shop and go horseback riding. You have to visit Callie’s Kitchen and buy chocolate and sweet treats there when you’re in the area. We came home with chocolate and other sweets that rivaled many expensive brands. We also visited Pocono Adventures and thoroughly enjoyed an awesome 2 hour horseback ride in the forests of the Poconos. The guides, Karl, Arnold, Jimmy, Joyce, and anyone else I missed, took us for the ride of a lifetime. It poured down rain, but we saw many deer, fawns, and wild turkeys along the trails. I recommend this 2 hour ride for people that get bored riding horses in a circle, because it is a true riding experience.
This bed and breakfast is near many of the tourist attractions in the Poconos. Marty and Gayle welcome guests with open arms, and they offer restaurant recommendations as well as numerous pamphlets with directions to attractions. I can’t wait to return to this delightful bed and breakfast to relax again. There is as little or as much to do around this place as one wishes to. The rooms are lovely, and the location is beautiful. I had a wonderful
Speaking of food, Chef Marty provides innovative cuisine made of fine, fresh ingredients. his dishes are wonderfully presented and the portions are more than generous - his breakfasts will hold you until dinner.
Bring your own booze. Marty and Gaile can arrange for setups - there is no liquor license, and Pennsylvania has no liquor stores - only State ABC stores.
One of the nicest things about the Brookview - rooms are very reasonably priced. If you want a jacuzzi tub - ask for a room in the Carriage House. If you want to watch a movie, ask Gaile to see the list of DVDs they have for loan. If you are looking for area attractions, your hosts will provide wonderful suggestions and directions; while your thinking about it, be sure to go see Mr. Calli's chocolate show
This was our first visit around Halloween time and all we can say is WOW! Every inch of the B&B is decorated for the season. It was like walking into an Autumn wonderland. I can't say enough about the food and especially their new restaurant up the road, it was excellent.
This time we stayed in the new jacuzzi suite. It was just what we needed to relax. Again, Gaile and Marty did an amazing job adding modern conviences into this 100 year old mansion. Can't wait for visit number 4!
