We’ve carved out a special weekend for true bookworms, bibliophiles, logophiles and lovers of the written word. We’ve been there – can’t find time to finish that intensely satisfying, engrossing, indulgently pleasurable book. It waits on the nightstand, beckoning to too tired eyes. It sits on the side table or at the foot of a comfortable chair sighing wistfully. The phone, the kids, the parents, the TV, a myriad of life’s interruptions stand between you and adventure, passion, laughter, intrigue, moments of saving grace. Whether fiction, fact, history, drama, comedy, parody, tragedy, short story, poetry or saga – true enjoyment requires peace, quiet, a comfortable chair or bed, and periodic snacks. The Stuart Avenue Inn provides all of that – and more.
Stay Friday/Saturday October 28-29 – you and your book(s) – hard, paper, or e. We provide comfortable chairs and beds, quiet public and private spaces, a constant supply of beverages and snacks – and a $30 gift certificate to one of 3 local independent book stores.
$450.00 all inclusive. Request package when making reservation. Also available as a Gift Certificate for the Bookworm in your life.
