graduate. Lee was featured on an episode of
the Food Network’s “Tyler’s Ultimate”
television show, where he made "The Willows Raised
Apple
Pancake".

juice, homemade jams and sausages. Many of
our breakfasts include vegetables and herbs
from our own garden, the jams made from
fruit picked at nearby farms. All breads are
made from home-ground flours and are served
with home-churned butter. Lee is a beekeeper

honey from our own beehives!
There is a two night minimum on weekends and holidays for the months of May through October.

Fraitag, Innkeeper of Willows Bed &
Breakfast, featured on the Food Network.
"Our
large green attic bedroom was filled
with an astonishing and often humorous
collection of rural ephemera. The
solid breakfast the next morning included
homemade whole wheat bread, homemade
sausages, a frittata stuffed with
home grown vegetables, excellent homemade
raspberry and strawberry jams, and
honey from the Fraitags' own beehives."
