*The Salad Bed – This is our antique hand carved youth bed which sits in the dining room of the lodge. It is over 100 years old and belonged to the woman who raised me (Susan) as our beloved housekeeper, Vera Ham. She is the one person to whom I attribute my culinary skills – I learned at her knee. Our daughter Courtney slept in this bed until she was four – At that time, Mrs. Ham was still with us, baking apple pies for Oak Cove guests at the age of 85. We have since made this bed into a salad bar from which you may build your own salad from as many as 18-20 fresh ingredients. We also make our own seven salad dressings which are served from an old Singer sewing machine cabinet at the foot of the bed on a “Busy Susan”. No lazy here!
