My favorite hostelry, Stoney Brook Bed & Breakfast, closed a couple of months back when the owners decided to retire. I don't know why; they were both energetic. Apparently they wanted to spend more time with their grandchildren or something silly like that. Go figure.

I was a regular guest at Stoney Brook during Gettysburg's semi-annual Bluegrass Festival. Eventually that led to designing and building the inn's Web site, a dramatic improvement that raised the B&B's profile on the Web over the previous site.

It has always been a favorite of mine for its elegance and simplicity. In an unusual move, I've placed the entire site in my portfolio as an example of my work. The actual site will go offline in a few months, which is why I wanted to preserve it here.
