Chateau Du Sureau   no comments

Posted at 3:49 pm in Bed and Breakfast

A fairy tale awaits you in Oakhurst, California, just minutes from Yosemite in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas at Chateau du Sureau.  Everything from the European style stucco building to the life-sized chess board will evoke a feeling of being transported to another place and time.

Wrought iron gates emblazoned with the Château’s elegant crest open to reveal the stately 9000 square foot stucco Inn, complete with a stone turret, Parisian balconies and shuttered windows, all on nine acres of meticulously landscaped park grounds.

Walking paths, fountains, a swimming pool, a bocce court and a life-size chess set add to the natural cachet and charm of the area. Once inside, guests are quickly enveloped in the Château’s extraordinary European hospitality. It was Erna’s desire to bring the traditions and hospitality of Europe’s grand houses to the States and she has truly captured it here. Chambermaids, attired in black dress and white linen aprons, present baskets of refreshments and tea. There is no front desk, no check in, no credit card imprinting (only a hand written bill discreetly presented before guests leave) and no televisions in the guest’s rooms.

Each guest room is individually decorated and named for restorative herbs that can be found growing on the property.  Erma’s Elderberry House, one of the finest restaurants, is located on the property for your dining pleasure.

The Chateau du Sureau offers a complimentary full breakfast to each guest and also provides coffee in each room.  Besides the ten rooms within the main building, there is also a two bedroom villa available for those who wish more privacy.

The Chateau du Sureau offers exercise equipment, a pool, lawn games and several balconies for your enjoyment.  The facilities is totally non-smoking. With the peaceful surroundings available here, you may make this your only destination.

Seeking a Bed and Breakfast?   no comments

Posted at 3:47 pm in Bed and Breakfast

Honeymoons are magical and special moments in your new life as man and wide! If you are seeking peace and quiet, then why not consider staying at a bed and breakfast? These are often secluded and quiet places where the two of you can relax and enjoy each others company to the fullest.

A bed and breakfast inn can make the two of you feel special and before you go and book, why not ask some questions.

Do they have a honeymoon package?
What features can they offer to make your honeymoon better than someone else? What facilities can they offer – horse riding, bike riding?

Do the innkeepers reside in the house?
Some Bed and Breakfasts operate as guesthouses; while management might be on property during the day, at night it’s just guests on the grounds. At other properties, you’ll find the owner or manager living right in the house. The atmosphere in these two situations is usually very different. An on-site manager and owner usually make the property far more like home, enabling the guests to interact more.
Are the innkeepers professional innkeepers or is the property managed by the owners?
The term “B&B” can mean many things: a home with extra bedrooms rented to guests, a small inn, a property with multiple guest rooms and professional hosts. You will find that the atmosphere is very different from property to property. You will also hear the term “country inn” or “small inn” used frequently; this often means a Bed and Breakfast that has a small restaurant on site.

Do all rooms have private baths?
Is smoking allowed indoors?

Many Bed and Breakfasts are non-smoking; if this is a concern, ask. You’ll find some Bed and Bs that prohibit smoking outdoors while on property as well.
Do you have private two-person tables if we want breakfast alone?
How many guest rooms does the property have?
