A relaxing stay at an elegant bed and breakfast is much more enjoyable than visiting a trendy bed of breakfast, with its messy scrambled-egg mattresses and uncomfortable biscuit pillows. Savor a sturdier sojourn with today’s Groupon to Aspen Hall Manor, located in Harrodsburg. Choose between the following options:

• For $150, you get a two-night stay and breakfast (up to a $310 value).
• For $10, you get a five-course Davis Tea (a $20.95 value).

Set amid Kentucky's tranquil hills, Aspen Hall Manor's bed and breakfast spoils its patrons with uniquely decorated and sumptuously spacious rooms bedecked with king-sized beds and private bathrooms. A romantic escape for couples or pets with driver's licenses, this 9,000-square-foot Greek Revival Manor House—constructed in 1840 and spread along an acre of land encircled by Magnolia trees—-is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

When not taking in scenery, Aspen Hall visitors can amuse themselves with nearby diversions, including antique shopping, fishing, horse racing, and rappelling down the main staircase. Upon waking up, guests will feast on a gourmet breakfast in either the grand dining room or the privacy of their own cozy duvets.

The five-course Davis Tea in Aspen Hall Manor's regal and ritzy tea room sates herb-infused appetites. While lounging in stately high-backed chairs designed for long-backed diners of the past, guests start by choosing their tea and snacking on freshly baked scones served with homemade preserves and cream, followed by a mélange of delicate finger sandwiches coupled with fresh fruit. Next, soup and mixed-green salad prove better tea companions than traditional English sloppy joes, and a selection of sweet desserts seals the occasion.
