News from Ed and Luci Kivett, Innkeepers
As we take time to enjoy the beautiful fall
colors, we feel extremely
blessed as we reflect on the great summer
we had here at the Inn. In addition to
welcoming returning and new guests on
leisure getaways, we had many wonderful
wedding weekends and feel priviledged
to have been a part of such a special time in
people's lives. We wish all of our
new couples many blessings in the years
ahead!
In this issue, you will see a number of new
offerings for later this fall and winter,
including Dinner at Dusk, an early
dining option beginnning in November. Our
new chef, Patrick Hodge and the rest of our
talented kitchen team are creating some
wonderful new specials. It's
still not too late to make reservations for a
Thanksgiving
getaway at the Inn, and look also for a
special Georgia
Wine Highway package in December. So
whether you
are coming to have a scrumptous dinner
by the fireplace in our cozy dining room or
looking to get away
from it all and enjoy all that the northeast
Georgia area has to offer, we hope you'll
include Glen-Ella Springs in your
plans. See you at the Inn!

Ambiance- the charm

the dining room of this 134 year old building
create an atmosphere of warmth and
contentment, uniquely setting the stage for
not only a feast for your eyes but your palate
