Seven Wives Inn

There is a great place in St. George called the Seven Wives Inn. Take an inside tour of it here. and click on the link that says "rooms." It's a bed and breakfast "hotel" and it is delightful. It is a pioneer era home what was owned by a polygamist man who supposedly had seven wives. Each room is the name of one of his wives - Melissa, Jane, Mary Ann, Lucinda, Harriet, Sarah & Julia. The first picture is the main building that contains seven separate bedrooms and bathrooms. In between this building and the one on the right is a lovely little swimming pool. The separate grey building with the balcony is a second home that the owners bought and restored to enlarge their business and it is right next to the swimming pool. It has several additional rooms in it. I highly recommend this B&B for your next visit to St. George. The decorations and accommodations are top rate. We've probably stayed there 6-8 times over the years. One of the first times we went, I bought this recipe from the owners. It's the best granola of all time. It has peanut butter in it which probably is the secret ingredient. Across the street from the Seven Wives is the Brigham Young summer home (the one with the green trim.) It's a great place to visit and they also offer tours of that home. The grounds, surrounding homes and history of this historic area in St. George is fascinating and informative.



I"ll include the recipe for your eating enjoyment! I also have four other breakfast recipes from Seven Wives that they serve at breakfast. If you want a copy, please let me know. They include the sausage "thing," pecan cream cinnamon rolls, german apple pancakes and surp"rice" souffle.
