Chateau Du Sureau

Andy and I had the pleasure of visiting the Chateau Du Sureau in Yosemite about a year ago. My parents, little brother Daniel, Aunt Judy and Uncle Mike also visited with us.



As we arrived, I kind of screamed. "OMIGOD! This is heaven!" Oakhurst is such a pretty area of California. This was my first trip to Yosemite and I had no preconceived notions of what it would look like.



I was overjoyed when we walked inside the Chateau. The hostess suggested we sit in the library for a few. She handed us 2 homemade cookies and some strawberry lemonade and disappeared.







And yes, the library boasted a copy of Harry Potter. Made my day!

We went out to dinner with my family and came back to find our beds turned down.



We stayed in the "Rosemary" room and I really loved the bed. It was incredibly relaxing. I loved the turndown service!



They sent coffee up to our room.



Which we enjoyed with this delicious poundcake.



Here I am acting silly with a heart shaped truffle. Look at the fresh flowers! These really brightened up the room.





Andy enjoyed his coffee too. We are strange for haaving coffee before bed but honestly the bed was so comfy, it didn't matter!



The next morning, we gathered in the breakfast room. Here's my aunt and uncle hamming it up for the camera.



And my mom and brother.



And me and Andy!



A homemade croissant



And broiche. Andy and I split half of each.



The first course was oatmeal with lemon yogurt, caramelized peaches and a raspberry on top. If someone could make this for me everyday I would be a happy girl. I wish I got a better picture!





Here's my cute brother. He wasn't a fan of the oatmeal so they brought him pancakes! How sweet is that?



With fresh berries! YUM!



Next course was israeli couscous with a spinich frittata on top and half a chicken sausage on the side. The couscous was really great. I like how the first course was sweet and the final was savory. I'm so used to the opposite!



The couscous was chockful of veggies. Squash and zucchini I think? Loved it!

Overall I highly, highly suggest you check out the Chateau Du Sureau in Oakhurst on your way to Yosemite.
