  • About us

    • Our name is derived from a stained glass window hanging in our dining room
    • The window is named Ezekiel’s Vision.
    • It is an adaptation of the Flammarion woodcut, an anonymous wood engraving, so named because its first documented appearance is in Camille Flammarion's L'atmosphère: météorologie populaire.
    • The window was won via a raffle the artist held at the Texas Renaissance Faire in the mid-1980's
    • Ezekiel sees a wheel in a wheel. Some call this a UFO, hence our Launchpad/UFO motif.
    • This hotel is on private property, with full permission of the land owner.
