It was like a mini petting zoo, and I'm all for a zoo of a time! Oh and those fresh brown eggs in the morning made for a killer omelet!

And spoiling is always a good idea ... my equally strenuous routine of sitting, reading, and writing (and ignoring the housework -- or hoping the cat will finally realize a desire to earn her keep) often leads me to daydream of spa treatments.

I didn't book anything at the 'original' spa, because I actually didn't read about it till I booked everything! My services are at more modern 'day spa' kind of facilities, so I'm hoping they are nice. :-) Chickens and goats? Yikes, I'm glad the B&B I booked only has cats. Though, I suppose you probably had a much fresher breakfast. :-) @Braxton: maybe partially, but I mostly posted because I had something to post about!

We stayed at a B&B (Cider Mill House) as well, about 12 miles from Berkeley Springs in a town called Hedgesville. The spa itself is very.. rustic (actually it's more pool house than rustic with tiled bathroom floors, spa tubs etc..). It was (I think) $30 for 30 minutes in the hot springs. Going in, I was thinking I wish had an hour in there. But about 15 minutes in, I realized how wonderful it was that I only had 15 minutes left. The windows were closed, which maybe they won't have your time around, but the air is incredibly thick with humidity. So much in fact that I couldn't get my clothes back on fast enough to get the heck outside to get some air. But it was extremely relaxing, so it was a 30 minutes well spent. As for the B&B, it could have not been a better experience. Kat and Ed are very nice hosts, with a very tastefully decorated 1800's home - not very busy, just a nice comfortable place to stay. Between the goats, chickens, morning walk around their acres of property and (Easter) breakfast, it was just a great time. Have a great 4th!
