The tiered gardens and picket fences were lovingly designed by an artistic mountain gardener with local stone and grassy footpaths that wind through established sunlit and shaded flowerbeds with weather vanes, wind chimes and birdfeeders. The historic Prescott Lodge is complete with its own grilling and party pavilion.
