This place had gorgeous views. A little farther out, but worth it in my opinion.

This one was pretty close to town (10-15 mins) and the sitting on the front porch sipping wine was the ideal experience! So pretty.

The cutest little spot for a glass of wine or cocktail on Main St. If you chat with Jamie, she might help you get a reservation at a restaurant down the street 🤩

This house was stunning. Tours run about every 30 minutes and last a little over an hour. It was $14 per ticket and you can buy them when you arrive.
