The mansion was built by a German consulate thus the name. Here are a couple shots of the parlor. The grapevine chandelier and matching stain glass window behind it was impressive. With my love for antiques (actually Scooter is really getting into it now too) I had a blast walking around looking at and touching all the furniture and things on display most were original to the house. The next morning we had time for a cup of tea on the porch swing while we read a book and took in the view you can see between the bushes. Breakfast was incredible. There was tea and coffee of course with fresh orange juice. Then the first course was homemade granola and a cup of cantaloupe and honeydew with celery seed and honey glaze over the top. Main course was scrambled eggs with hollendaise sauce, sausages, and wild rice pancakes with double butter
syrup (I had my doubts too but believe me Scott and I were promising to find that recipe as we were digging in for seconds!). Then for dessert, yes that's right we were wishing we hadn't eaten so much, was a dense frozen pumpkin bread with double cream on top. Very rich tasting indeed!
