Inn at Blackberry Creek






The Inn at Blackberry Creek had been a thought in the back of mind for a lot of years. When I was in my 20's which was a long time ago, I wanted to open a restaurant, I got a little taste of how it would be running the Baker Faculty Center for Whitman College in the early 80's, I found out real quick that food service could be real profitable, or not, (mostly not). I was working for a construction company part time and got an opportunity to buy it. So I went into the Second worst business construction. I spent 20 years in the construction industry, learned alot and had alot of fun. I love to create new things so it was a great outlet to do this. In 1995 the Inn property came up for sale, and since I thought I should run a B&B, like everything else in my life I jumped right in and started one. We renovated the property which took 5 years (just a little paint and a little paper LOL). We opened in 2001, it has been a labor of love ever since. Lots of great people, lots of projects to keep me busy, and I get to bake cookies which I love to do. Hope you enjoy the recipe posts, I love to modify and share them
