The "New Normal"


We all have begun to adjust to our new Covid 19 reality and yet we have already grown tired of ceaseless masked selfie posts and perpetual Covid 19 email updates. But, we need to share information with you about what we are doing at the Inn to protect our guests and ourselves. We want to let you know what procedures are in place.  Some are new, some aren't. We may update these procedures as new NYS mandates & information become available. So, here we go:

- All staff will be temperature tested prior to their arrival at the inn. Any staff members with a temperature, any symptoms what so ever, or known exposure will not be working until proof of a negative test result is presented.

- All staff  wear masks at all times while at the inn.

- All staff wear masks & gloves while cooking, serving breakfast and cleaning.

- All staff maintain a social distance of six feet from others whenever possible.

- Any guests with symptoms or known exposure should NOT check-in & reschedule their stay.

- Guests can self swipe or chip read their credit card at check-in. The card reader will be sanitized after every transaction.

- All guests must wear a mask while in any common area of the inn.

- All guests must maintain a social distance of six feet from others in common areas whenever possible (unless you're travelling together).

- Breakfast is served in two seatings in order to allow for social distancing. Seatings will be at 8:15 am and 9:15 am. There will not be any buffet; all breakfast items will be offered and served if desired. Please let us know your preferred seating time at check-in.

- All dishes and utensils are run through a sanitizing rinse.

- Daily room housekeeping is optional.

- Room cleaning: replacement of all cloth bedding materials including pillow protectors & mattress pad, replacement of shower curtain, sanitizing of all surfaces, handles, switches, & remotes.

-Any stuffed furniture in guest rooms has been replaced with furniture that can be sanitized (yet still comfy).

- Surfaces in common areas are sanitized several times daily.

- Hand sanitizer is available in all common areas.

We appreciate your understanding & cooperation while we collectively adjust to the "new normal." Be well. We look forward to seeing you soon. Sadly, you will be unable to see our smile beneath our mask, but it will be there.

UPDATE:
Per NYS Mandate on November 1, 2020 by NY Governor Cuomo we are able to welcome guests from all NY contiguous states. Visitors from all other states are subject to the following guidelines:

New Entry at the Inn

Image
We are feeling very pleased with our new (and long overdue) entry. We are honored to know a local master craftsman that resurfaced the concrete steps, repaired the decorative woodwork, repaired the roof, and forged two wrought iron railings. It's very rewarding to repair/replace things on this beautiful building and make them look like they once did with quality design, materials and craftsmanship. It's always a challenge to decide (and budget) what is worth keeping or replicating and what isn't. We usually decide to keep or replicate. We want everything to look as original as possible. We had to have two columns replaced/replicated. We think they look spot on. Maybe we are the only ones that know which are new...and we think the wrought iron railings are much like what would have been in place originally. We should post "before" photos, but it was ugly. We always focus on the positive and progress, so we are only posting the demo, in progress, and the beautiful...

One of Our Winter Projects

Image
Room 9 was just refreshed and redecorated: new beautiful king size brass bed, new cute farmhouse distressed night stands, new table and ladder back chairs (with funky blue and white modern fabric seats), fresh paint all around, new cushy carpet, gorgeous East Lake marble top dresser, and even new room darkening drapes. I do love to refresh guest rooms. To see the finished room and to have guests love it as much as I do is a wonderful feeling. We always have a list of winter (slow season) projects, but this was my favorite this year. It's a hit with guests too :)
