STORYBOOK COTTAGE B&B
|
 |
|
|
|
“A charming 1920s cottage” B y the time I reach Cedar City, I am enamored with southern Utah and convinced this area has to be one of America’s best kept secrets. It is indescribably beautiful.Storybook Cottage, a Tudor-style home located on a tree-lined street of Cedar City’s historic district, was built by descendents of early Mormon pioneers. In 2003, this delightful home was purchased and renovated by long-time innkeepers, Don and Pam McMurray. In addition to being capable and thoughtful innkeepers, the McMurrays are also Shakespearean enthusiasts. Storybook Cottage provides ideal lodging for individuals in town for the Tony award-winning Utah Shakespearean Festival (held each July to September) or any time of year. In addition to enjoying my stay in Sleeping Beauty, a whimsical guestroom with window seats and a dressing alcove, I enjoyed relaxing in the tastefully decorated garden room overlooking an attractively landscaped patio. A spacious great room is also available for guests and includes a DVD/TV. |
A delectable breakfast is served each morning either in the dining room or
alfresco on the terrace with soothing music playing in the background.
Beverages and light refreshments are offered guests in the evening. Strong Points Hospitality plus, location, attention-to-detail, gourmet breakfast, complimentary beverages/bottled water, guest refrigerator, décor, grounds & landscaped terrace, off-street parking, WiFi, a business center w/fax & copier, video library, special discounts and packages. |
