HistoryThe plein air painter's movement started in France in the 1800's. Artists emphasized outdoor painting to capture the beauty and simplicity of nature as it was meant to be seen. The light at different times of the day. The shadows in the winter. Simple canvas and easel. Portable. It is with that spirit in mind that we introduce Plein Air--the neighborhood. Plein Air is an old fashioned traditional southern neighborhood with a vibrant town square. The way it used to be before the automobiles came to dominate our lives. Houses close together with front porches that encourage interaction with your neighbor. Sidewalks that make it easy to walk to dinner, the art gallery, a movie, a concert on the square. A place where kids can roam free and you call them home before supper. You know--the way it used to be.SpecialtiesOne of the attractions of staying at Plein Air is the ability for the family to walk everywhere - bike friendly streets, plenty of open green space, and a fabulous restaurant, Grit, and Lost Dog Coffee Shop at your front door. The Plein Air Neighborhood has a total of 9 bedrooms available for rent all within steps of the Mill and Chapel at Plein Air.
