I'm super excited.
It looked beautiful.
We got to see it as we were on our... LAURITA: Yes, we did.
LAUREN: Um, sailboat.
So I'm so excited to stay there.
We're crashin' into that bed tonight.
LAURITA: That's what we're gonna do.
LAUREN: This has been a long day.
LAURITA: Well, this is beautiful.
The gardens are lovely.
LAUREN: After you.
LAURITA: Thank you.
MICHAEL: So when people talk about the Inn at Perry Cabin they say, "You know, what makes it special?
What makes it different?"
At the end of the day, the location, the venue that you find yourself in.
The first and foremost is the fact that you're on 29 acres of, of lush gardens.
We are an estate.
It wasn't designed to be a hotel, and it is not a hotel.
WOMAN: Good afternoon.
We're delighted to welcome you to the Inn at Perry Cabin.
LAUREN: Hi.
LAURITA: Hello.
MICHAEL: After the battle on Lake Erie, the aide-de-camp of, uh, Commander Oliver Hazard Perry, who was the commander of the American fleet, basically retired here.
And he was the one who built the estate in 1831, and he moved in with some family.
They occupied half the estate house, and the other half was for guests.
Over time, the estate grew and went through different iterations.
And so the Inn at Perry Cabin became part of a larger family of, uh, bed and breakfast and resorts.
LAURITA: Honey, I'm home.
LAUREN: Wow.
And the home is marvelous.
(laughs).
LAURITA: Wow.
MICHAEL: So the inn has an array of accommodations.
We've got 78 different rooms.
One of our great suites got a huge living room and very airy, and I think that's what sets us apart.
There's a lot of light in these rooms.
LAUREN: Where's the bathroom?
LAURITA: Here's the bathroom, and it's huge.
Well, let's just see what else the hotel has to offer.
Bree told us a lot of things.
LAUREN: I know.
I really wanna go check out the... See the things that they have at the spa.
LAURITA: Okay.
Let's do it.
MICHAEL: It is a destination.
The, the inn has become renowned partially due to its participation in The Wedding Crasher movie.
Well, I always feel like once you come across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, it's almost as if somebody unplugs you.
You know, you're kind of in a different world.
But there's a lot of different things to do.
Obviously, great restaurants, including our own.
So Chef Greg's been here almost four years now.
And, uh, when he came, we kind of sat down and we said, "Okay, how do we make Stars in the cuisine that we're known for unique?
How do we make it something special?"
And it's the farmers that are delivering directly to the chef, right?
And they bring mushrooms, heirloom tomatoes, fruits, vegetables, all kinds of different thing, and they are fresh.
When you sit down and you eat his food, you know it's local.
Everything comes from probably within 70 miles.
And you can taste the difference.
LAUREN: It is such a cute little posh, cottagey, like, getaway.
LAURITA: And it's on the water.
LAUREN: It is on the water, which is really nice.
They have their own docks and everything, so you can go on... LAURITA: Yes.
LAUREN: Boats and do all those things throughout the day.
Our room is beautiful.
LAURITA: It's very comfortable-looking.
LAUREN: So open and airy, light colors, brightness.
It has so many cool things.
There's, like, a sitting room area.
And I could definitely see you reading a book right there.
LAURITA: Oh, yeah.
