A closeup of some hens & chicks (Sempervivum tectorum).

The Hartman Rock Garden is most definitely a unique roadside attraction.

What started in 1932 by Ben Hartman as a concrete fishing pond, expanded into an entire mini world using thousands of stones, a myriad of plants, handmade figurines and one hell of an imagination.

After Ben's passing in 1944, his widow, Mary took over his labor of love until her passing in 1997.

The garden began to succumb to neglect but was renovated in 2009 and is now open and free for visitors every day.

"We were always greeted by Kelly at the front desk with a beautiful and welcoming smile. She always made sure we had what we needed. Our housekeeper on 3 was fantastic and our room was immaculate upon arrival. She made sure our room was stocked during our entire stay. Beautiful people and a beautiful property. Thank you! "
