Dog Friendly Historic Boone Tavern Inn – Berea, KY – 4 paws and 4 thumbs up!
Howllow fellow basset hound and taking trips with us lovers…As you know I am still blogging about our massive month long book tour through the south but for now I am going to take a side book tour trip to the Historic Boone Tavern Inn in Berea, KY. When we last were in in Berea we learned that the Inn was dog friendly so we vowed to come back with Daisy Lynn and come back we did!
The Historic Tavern is located on the campus of Berea College in Berea, KY.
Berea College charges no tuition; every admitted student is provided the equivalent of a four-year, full-tuition scholarship (currently worth $97,200; $24,300 per year)
Yes, you are reading correctly…NO TUITION, but all of the students work at jobs on campus and the Tavern has many student employees which makes the experience really different and fun.
The first night we had dinner at the Tavern and it was delicious!
Look outside…I moved the basset hauling vehicle to the window so we could keep an eye on Daisy Lynn. Perfect weather in the low 50s to keep her in the car. She would never stay in the room by herself. We would get kicked out of we even tried. She did great in the car as we enjoyed a traditional favorite called spoon bread…
It is like an egg souffle with corn bread – let me get the recipe…
