The Greystone Inn at Lake Toxaway II

After day 1 at The Greystone Inn we woke up feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the day! We had plans to go on a nice kayaking adventure around the lake first thing in the morning, but first we headed down for breakfast to get some fuel before kayaking. For breakfast I tried the omelet which had ham, bacon, tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms, peppers and onions. I also had the side fruit and toast with my breakfast. I am a breakfast freak so I really loved the breakfast and appreciated that it was a big breakfast to keep us full all morning.

After breakfast we headed down to the boat dock to get out on the water. We set up our kayaks and each started in an individual kayak, but quickly realized we should share the two person one for an easier time.


We adventured for the better half of 3 hours and rode all around the lake and admired the beautiful houses that looked out over the water and their boat docks that were just as beautiful and intricate as the homes. It really was quite a site to see.

After kayaking we wanted to grab some lunch in the dining room, but quickly realized they are closed on Mondays for lunch. A couple overheard us talking with the front desk about it and suggested we go to a little market cafe place in the next town over. I seriously cannot remember the name of this place to save my life. Or the name of the town...ahh! I'll keep you posted if I figure it out :-).

They described it as a delicious hole in the wall style place with delicious burgers and sandwiches all attached to a market with fresh breads, delicious cheeses, meats, and fun wines. Oh and a coffee shop, too! We both agreed that is exactly where we wanted to go!! We arrived in an adorable little town with numerous shops and beautiful homes all leading to this little market. After window shopping for a little bit we headed into the market and roamed around. Everything looked so delicious. We debated on some fresh  bread and cheese for later, but decided against since it was already late in the afternoon.

For lunch, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger which was outstanding. We also left with vanilla lattes for the road which were exactly what we needed.

Once we returned we roamed around the premises, enjoyed the breathtaking views and even got a crochet lesson from a gentleman that was on the course playing. It seems like an extremely long game, but I would love to check it out. We didn't have enough time to start a game then because dinner was soon to come. I swear it seems like all we did was eat!



For the second nights dinner I was honestly pretty disappointed to find out it was the exact same menu from the previous night. The soups changed and the deserts changed, but otherwise it was the same selection. I stuck with my same meal as I had on the first day.

After dinner we hung out in the bar area and on the front porch chatting with the locals and enjoying the evening mountain views. It really was a beautiful and breathtaking place to visit.

We packed up the next morning and hit the road. I had lots of packing and laundry to do for Las Vegas!
