Cherry Tree Inn B&B
The hilarious Groundhog Day movie location was at the Cherry Tree BNB Inn.
To refresh your memory on Groundhogs Day try this. The inn chose a Wedgewood blue framework for the website and combined with a beautifully rendered slider, the home page holds attention.
A bold but gracious white font atop luscious slider photos carries the message clearly and elegantly. Our designer Dennis, framed the photos with a pastel Wedgewood blue with a very light touch. It’s such a small detail but it adds a refined theme to the vibrant website.
The inn plays up being the movie location for Groundhog Day. (Scroll down) with many videos.

Menu and booking page
The innkeeper wrote, “Antique furniture, silver service trays, and a crackling fire set the atmosphere for afternoon tea, We really channeled our inner ‘Downton Abbey’ fan for inspiration when planning.”
During the afternoon tea, guests may be seated in the formal dining room or elegant parlor of the Gothic Revival-style mansion.
