Believe in Magic

The Inn at Ormsby  Hill

Manchester Center, Vermont

On Tuesday, December 13th, we received a call from a woman in Reno, Nevada.  She was looking for the Believe in Magic pillows and found them on our site.  She placed an order for three of them.  The family cat passed away after 15 years, and the cat’s name had been Magic.  She wanted to give the Believe in Magic pillow to each of  her three children as a remembrance.

This is why we truly BELIEVE in Magic!!!!!!

Happy Holidays.

Holiday Open House

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

The last two Saturdays we held our annual holiday open house – with all the proceeds going to the Vermont-New Hampshire Komen Race for the Cure.  We were honored that on Saturday, the 10th, mystery author Archer Mayor from Vermont, did a book signing.

Fans with Archer Mayor During Signing

Northshire Bookstore made it possible for Archer to be with us that day – and how lucky we were.  He has some amazing stories!!!!

Even Chance wanted in to share in all the excitement – so here he is with is own pink balloon raising awareness!!!

We can’t thank enough all who passed through these doors to support the Race.

Spring in Vermont!!

The last couple of weeks has seen the lawn greening up, plants all coming to life, and new birds arriving.  Enjoy the photos -

This red-bellied woodpecker decided to make our feeders his home for a day – and what a day it was.  Wish I could show ALL the photos!!!!

WHERE IS The Inn at Ormsby Hill??

Monday, April 4th, 2011

About 4 weeks ago, a big wind  storm snapped our sign post in half and brought our sign to the ground.  Since that time, we have been without a sign.  Amazingly, all our guests arrived without incident!!!!!!!
