My mom and I have always been cupcake fanatics. We have been here several times before. Their cupcakes never fail to make us go back for more. Red velvet is definitely our favorite. But I do believe that you can't go wrong whichever cupcake you pick. They're all moist and bursting with flavor. I must admit, as frustrated bakers, my mom and I get ideas from their wide variety of flavors. This helps us in baking our own yummy cupcakes.

Went here to have dinner with a friend. We ate at the patio and the view was really majestic. It was overlooking Lake Waramaug and eating there felt like heaven. The food was really delicious. They were certainly fresh, too. The trout that I had was still swimming in a tank inside the restaurant before it was served on my plate. It was a refreshing meal indeed. Most of the items in the menu were distinctly American with a touch of French influence. My friend ordered the escargot and told me to try it too. To my surprise, I liked how it tasted. We also had their house salad, and it was definitely wonderful. Wait staff were fast and very nice to their customers.

My boyfriend and I camped here for a night. It was a short and easy drive to different attractions. We stayed at one of the Cozy Cabins and it sure was really comfortable for us. The setting was beautiful and the place itself was very well maintained. The place was clean and it has everything that we needed. It was also nice that the owners try to keep the campgrounds quiet as to allow their guests to rest well. They were kind to their guests and were approachable too. They are knowledgeable about the area so you can ask them for pieces of advice on what to do while touring the eastern part of the peninsula.

When we planned to visit the Yellowstone National Park, Hibernation Station was not our first choice for lodging. But hey, the place was good enough. It's no way near fancy but it would do if you would just be staying here for a night or two. There were 4 of us in our group and we had the cabin with 3 queen sized beds; big enough for everybody. The place was not fully lighted and was quite dark. But it was okay. We also had a huge kitchen with a dining table in it. The bathroom was large enough and was clean. Staff are friendly and approachable. We surely had a cozy stay here.

A great place for a "staycation". You can choose from a wide array of themes for your room. They have the New York Penthouse, The Cave, The Jungle room, The Log Cabin, Sugar Shack and a whole lot more awesome picks. This is a perfect place to escape from the daily hustle and bustle of the city. Our room had a great view; overlooking a large field. The bed was big and really comfy. Sheets were soft and very fragrant, too. We also loved the small jacuzzi inside our bath. The lighting was perfect and made us have the "chill feels". Additionally, customer service was good and fast. Staff are always ready to cater to your needs. Definitely a great place to stay at.

We had a very relaxing time when we stayed here. The place was really comfortable, well maintained and clean. It is located near the river which is really nice especially when you get to have the room with this fantastic view. Though we only got to eat once in their bistro, I could say that the food that they offer are very good and tasty. If you would want to eat other stuff, the staff are kind enough to give recommendations. The spot is just perfect because there are lots of nearby restaurants.

I never expected that we would be having such a great time here. Good thing, we read the room descriptions on their site first before checking in. Same rooms may have different bathrooms. Moreover, the place in itself was wonderful. The thing that I loved most during our stay here was the daily breakfast. They were so tasty and well presented. They looked too cute to be eaten. Waffles, bacon and fried potatoes were some of my personal favorites. The innkeepers were very nice, too! Definitely worth a next visit.

The lunch buffet was the best. Excellent food! The selection was endless. They had chicken, fish, veggies and many other options. Everything that I tried was really delicious and full of flavor. The spiciness was just perfect for me; it was not too overpowering. The chicken tandoori is definitely my personal favorite. The dessert was great, too. The mango pudding surely left a great impression. Will soon go back to this place to have another delicious lunch buffet.

This spot has a pretty interesting concept. They serve soup during winter, and gelato during summer. It was a nice sunny day when I went here with my brother. The both of us had gelato. There were lots of fun flavors to choose from. I had the malt chocolate chip and my brother had the chocolate banana. Both were very rich and smooth. I would definitely recommend our orders, they both had this creamy, chocolatey goodness.. Surely worth a try.

A place where kids can play and have fun while cooling off from the heat of the sun. Kids are seen running around here trying to get wet from the water that's shooting off from the ground!
