A Decade of Summers

Bryn Brooke Manor, the bed and breakfast of Savor New York, is winding up its tenth season, a milestone anniversary that we take this opportunity to acknowledge. As we reflect on ten years of experiences, restorations, and life’s inevitable changes, we have watched our darling daughter, Liz, evolve from an intelligent, precocious child into an intelligent, charming young woman. Project by project we have restored our glorious, unique house and, while we’re acknowledging, we salute all the talented, industrious workmen who made it happen. During one short half-score of years we have accumulated, through our hundreds of guests, enough experiences for half a lifetime.

All tallied, we’ve come through pretty well. We’ve had a few bumps and bruises along the way, and there are some things we would have done differently. We’ve invested an incredible amount of hard work and a fair share of money. All in all, it’s been a Nantucket sleigh ride of an adventure; rich in laughter, expanded knowledge, intangible rewards and priceless memories.

We thank you all who have stayed with us through our growing pains, and who have shared the flight of fancy that made us abandon our tediously safe life in the Cleveland suburbs for an utterly unknown future in Cooperstown, NY. We appreciate your faith in us and look forward to seeing you again. If we have yet to have made your acquaintance, please consider joining us as we begin our second decade next summer.
