Harvest House

I know I've said it before, but seriously, in a town this small, you'd think I would know just about everything, but It is amazing how much I miss!

One day in June, when Adam and I were in the middle of our Couch to 5k running program, I decided to alter my usual "perimeter of town" route and headed down Rainier for a little change of scenery. I passed a home, which I had admired many times for its secluded yard and rosy hedge, but for the first time I noticed a sign that read "Harvest House Art Gallery and Supper Club." I found it a little curious because, honestly, I could have sworn that sign wasn't there before! I remember thinking, "What is a supper club? There's an art gallery there? How on Earth did I miss that? I wonder if the people who live there are artists. I wonder if it's a restaurant or a members only club." I made a mental note to ask someone about it and then completely forgot.

Last week, a Wenatchee friend called me, wondering about a restaurant in Waterville that some of her friends had visited. They said they had sat out on a lovely porch and were served warm bread. Confused, I asked, "Are you sure they were in Waterville? I mean, there are some really awesome restaurants up here but the porch thing has me stumped..."

The next day an idea dawned on me, "What if she was talking about that house down the street?" and a with a quick "fine dining Waterville, WA" google search, I had my answer.

The website I found answered all of the questions I had forgotten I wanted to ask: "Housed in a century-old farmhouse located just within the town limits, Chef Valerie Gray will serve you a feast of true down-home style cooking with a gourmet flare... Treat yourself to a changing art exhibit and music from respected artists while you dine family-style in our main dining hall or privately in one of two smaller dining rooms.  Reserve the entire house for your special occasion or the main dining room or the yard!"

I am excited to check this place out! I'll admit, I'm a little ashamed that I didn't know it was there, especially since someone in Wenatchee had to tip me off! This weekend my mom is visiting for her birthday. I think we'll take her to Harvest House!
