Your Hostess
|
Julie was born in Zambia, was raised in South Africa, spent seven years in Australia, four years in England and has made her home in America for the past several years. She loves experiencing different cultures and enjoys meeting people from all over the world. Guests will be delighted with her gracious hospitality, charming accent and ready smile. And there's nothing like her good, old-fashioned, home-cooked breakfasts. The old world charm of the home decor is a reflection of Julie's love of antiques and flair for decorating. She has allowed her cultural diversity to influence the themes in the bedrooms. The Bed and Breakfast has six themed rooms all with private bathrooms: The English Room, The African Room, The Australian Room, The Victorian Room, and on the ground level, The Colonial American Room. All the rooms have been renovated and redecorated, and more improvements are being made on an on-going basis. A sixth room has recently been added providing a suite with a private sitting room. A large cupboard in the foyer provides guests with her hand-crafted Groundhog souvenirs, a necessity at any time of the year when you visit Punxsutawney. |

Plantation HistoryThe Plantation was established in 1837 by a pioneer to the Punxsutawney area. The brick home was built as a family dwelling and was the center of a large and profitable farm for many generations, subsequently owned by doctors with large families. In more recent years, the Plantation had been restored and operated as a motel. Currently, the new restoration has resulted in a perfect Bed and Breakfast with the family wing of the home separate from the guest wing. Generations of treading feet have softened the old wooden floors and stairways. Whispers of the personalities of the many souls who have lived here still linger in the shadowy corners. The Plantation holds onto the past in a soft and lovely way. |

Ecuador Trip 2012Julie, her two daughters and her son enjoyed the volcanic thermal baths and the mud bath, so good for the skin. They also went ziplining, fishing and last but not least waking up each morning to the sound of the ocean. A great place for a holiday. Click on the images to see a larger version |
