Ophelia Patworth Blakely - Ophelia's Garden Inn - Syracuse, NY

This beautiful 1925 English Country Estate sits on three acres of lawn and gardens. Designed by the famed architect, Dwight James Baum*, the Inn abounds with extraordinary architectural detail. With over 5,000 square feet of living space, 12 sets of French doors and a setting out of a storybook, it's hard not to relax in this wonderful atmosphere. Trees caress the property, inviting the deer from dusk to dawn. The rooms are spacious with private baths and period antiques. Everything makes you feel like you have gone back in time. Although nestled in a secluded and private setting, the Inn is just minutes from Downtown Syracuse. The property is surrounded by old trees, pass arboretum is across the street, and the pond will invite you to sit and enjoy the sounds or trickling water. Play darts, Bocce ball, croquet or just sit on the patio and enjoy a glass of wine.
