What a Great Summer!

Hello All!
Walking Iron is starting to slow down for the season, but we are always looking ahead! We had a wonderful summer meeting all our new guests and seeing all of repeat guests who have truly become good friends! We had a busy summer with not only all of our wonderful guests, but also with all the rain! Water was not our friend the beginning of this summer. Our basement flooded and and everything was ruined in our lower level. Since we had to rip everything out we figured it was a good time to start another project! (for those of you who know Dave and I, we love projects!) We now have an awesome SPA in the lower level of the B&B. It turned out just as we had hoped! Adrian has been busy ever since giving massages down there. For those of you who have not met Adrian, she is our property manager. She has been a wonderful asset to Walking Iron, and the guests just adore her!(so do we!) She helps out with cleaning, breakfasts, marketing, and oh, yeah, massages! She truly is a jack of all trades!
Right now we are in the process of getting together some winter get-a-way packages. We still have scrapbook retreat packages available, but now the ladies will scrap in the two front parlors (instead of the basement as before). I'm in the process of putting together Spa retreats as well. Just ironing out the details, so more to come! We are also updating our Spa menu. We are hoping to have "couple" massages available very soon! Finally, we are also revamping our website! We are so excited about this one! We realize how many of our guests find us through our website, so we really want to make it amazing! Your feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Talk to you soon!

Spring is in the Air at Walking Iron!

We have so much going on at Walking Iron! First off, we are offering some amazing new amenities for our guests! Nice comfy robes are now in the rooms! What better way to unwind in the evening after a nice warm bath! We also have a coffee and tea available around the clock. We just added an awesome Keurig coffee machine to our dining room. This is the freshest coffee out there! Finally we have some wonderful new products from Arbonne International for your use during your stay (shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, body lotion, and bath salts) They are formulated in Switzerland and made in the U.S. They are botanically based and truly are amazing. These products are also for sale in the B&B. Along with that, we offer Gift Baskets for your purchase. We have combined some awesome pampering products along with wine glasses or coffee mug. We have you covered if you need an Anniversary, Birthday, or Just Because gift! Also, what better gift for that wonderful person who watched your house, pets, or children so you were able to escape to Walking Iron? Please ask us for details! We hope to see you in the upcoming months!

Winter Packages at Walking Iron B&B

We have some sad news.... as of right now, we won't be able to host Murder Mystery Weekend Packages:( Unfortunately Dead Write Productions has been dissolved, so we don't have anyone to run the event. (Dave and I have never been very good at acting, so there is no way we can do it!) If anyone knows of another company in our area, please let us know.
On a good note, we are offering couple massages now! We have a nice big area available to have two massage beds- so we are really excited to be able to offer this to our guests!! We also just ordered nice fluffy robes for the rooms so now after a nice whirlpool you have something to snuggle into.
Lastly, we now have a romance package available. Make sure to check out the web site for more details! If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see us offer, please make sure you let us know. We are always looking for ways to improve and make our guests stay one they soon won't forget!

Winter is just around the corner!

The busy season is starting to wind down. We had a wonderful summer seeing our returning guests and meeting so many new ones! The fall colors are also winding down as well. They were absolutely beautiful these last couple of weeks! We are now gearing up for our winter season. Check out our pages on Scrapbooking Retreats and Murder Mystery Weekends. We are really excited about these getaway packages! Let us know if you have any questions!

Great Things Happening at Walking Iron!

I'm just starting to learn how to blog...so bare with me! We've got some exciting things happening at Walking Iron Bed and Breakfast! We just opened our 5th room three weeks ago. Alsie's Retreat has a queen size bed with private bath. It doesn't have the whirlpool yet, but we hope to add it this winter or in the spring. Check out the pictures on our website! Fall colors are just around the corner and weekends are starting to fill up quickly. Call for availability or check out the availability calendar online.

Starting in November we will be doing Scrapbook weekends (or for that matter, retreat weekends), and Murder Mystery weekends. The scrapbook weekends include a two-night stay with 5 meals. Our return rate is 100%, the ladies just love to get away and be pampered! We are so excited about the Murder Mystery weekends! We are working with Dead Write Productions to host them. It will be a two night weekend package, which includes wine reception Friday night, and Dinner Saturday night (and of course breakfast both mornings!). We have spots for 5 couples. Look for updates on our website for cost, etc.
