Lake Forest in spring arrives with a certain conviction. The inn, having been here for for nearly a century, meets it in kind.
Something shifts. The light arrives at a different angle. The vines find their way back. The garden, which has been making quiet promises since February, begins to deliver on them. The sky settles into the kind of blue that makes you stop whatever you were doing and look up.
It’s as if the whole town leans forward slightly, the way a room does when something good is about to happen.
And it’s finally happening. Welcome back, spring.

A brief personality test, courtesy of The Brasserie.
Oysters or Mussels?
Lobster or Crab?
Prawns or Scallop Tartare?
Dirty or Dry?
Shaken or Stirred?
Answer honestly. You’ll find yourself (and a seafood tower and a very cold martini) on the first floor.

The patio has been waiting since October with the patience of something that knows it will be appreciated eventually. It was right.
We’ve opened the courtyard for the season. The drinks are cold, the afternoon light is doing its usual excellent work, and the chairs have been out there since this morning looking quietly pleased.
Come find them. They missed you.

Breakfast in bed.
A book at its own pace.
Spring air through an open window.
A thoroughly knackered sort of morning, in the best possible way.

A garden feels a little like the people who care for us most. Quiet tending, thoughtful presence, and beauty that reveals itself over time.
Today, we celebrate mothers, mother figures, and all those who have nurtured others with love and care.
Happy Mother’s Day from Deer Path Inn 💐
