Castle Garden Bed & Breakfast LLC

During this summer's 100 mile yard sale, I took a ride to the southern part of Cameron County. The Castle Garden area, to be exact. Castle Garden is a small neighborhood off of Rt 155 which branches off of Rt 120 in Driftwood. I knew there would be a large sale at one of the homes, I remembered it from the previous year.

   I was surprised to learn the home at 749 Castle Garden road was being renovated into a beautiful bed & breakfast inn. Owners Donna Mae & Jack are completely restoring this home. If I'm remembering correctly, the home was built by a Dougherty family. Emporium resident Sandra Dougherty Ford was raised there and Jack was happy to show us older photos of the home. Later the home was sold to a McCool family , then the Zucals and is now owned by Donna and Jack. The home was under construction when I was there, but guests are staying on site. The outside photo I have does not do it justice, I will take a better photo soon. If your out for a ride some evening or weekend, make it a point to drive down and see this beautiful home. It's common to see an elk nearby, neighbors out on the porch and when the weather is warm, people are often floating down the creek, enjoying the view.

Opening in September 2018

Cam-Co Cookout

The Cameron County Project
http://www.thecameroncountyproject.com

We believe that Barbara Coloroso was 100% right when she said,

"There is something profoundly satisfying about sharing a meal. Eating together, breaking bread together, is one of the oldest and most fundamentally unifying of human experiences."

....and who doesn't love a good cook-out?

So in the spirit of breaking bread together (hamburger buns count, right?) We invite our neighbors big and small, from across Cameron County, to join us for a community cook-out. We'll be serving up hamburgers, hot dogs, and neighborly conversation.
