If you are looking for a romantic get-away the Parker House B&B is the place to stay. It is nestled in a beautiful part of historic Arcadia just a short jaunt west of downtown. The rooms are very well appointed with a neat sitting area on one side of the second floor that used to be a sleeping porch. I had a chance this summer to tour the house with Kay Higley, and my cousin Gary. She was delightful and the house reflected her charming spirit.
The owners,Kay and Leonard Higleys, came from Ohio where they had a Teddy Bear shop and they have brought a bunch of those wonderful critters with them to enhance the Victorian decor.
The dinning room is breath taking and the wood floors are amazing. The meals they serve there are wonderful too according to my favorite Epicurean, Tom W. He has attended meetings there and raved about the food. The Higley's have a special treat for those who come and stay. You can get a wonderful meal for two served by candle light with a great bottle of wine. If you are interested in this feature you must call ahead and reserve.
The gardens there are beautiful and they even grow some of their own veggies. If you want a relaxing intimate experience I suggest The Historic Parker House. Check out their website:
