Bee Keeper' Inn

After the fine buffet, Judy wanted to show Deb and Bruce the Bee Keeper's Inn which is a bed and breakfast located across the creek from the Hutte. We have stayed here several times.



The room we like is the "rose" room that is one room that is located on the first floor. If you remember many years ago I blogged about our wedding anniversary experience here and the stories included Jessie, the native brook trout catching dog, and the family of skunks playing under the floor boards of the room!

The kitchen is rustic. Fresh fruit is still on the table.

I think Deb and Bruce enjoyed Judy's "tour".

Here is a new Helvetia addition. The water depth under the bridge is around 6 feet. Water is COLD! Guess Judy and I will not know the pleasure of this Appalachian swing.

We did travel the extra five miles to Pickens. Eleanor, ownes and operates the Hutte, taught at Pickens in "the early days" and walked to and from Pickens each day. The ten mile walk during good and bad weather made this lady a strong individual. Over 90 years young, Eleanor is amazing!

We toured the hamlet of Pickens. (Took a few minutes- chuckle) We did see the beautiful new school located here. The graduating classes are the smallest in the state. Graduates from this k-12 school average 3 to four per year.

It was a great day. What a joy to experience good food, heritage, and the wonders of nature with friends!
