Sherryll Donley entertains strangers at her new Lake Wawasee 'Tara' home

I By JENNIFER WOODWARD Staff Writer , Sheryll Donley is doing what she does best, meeting people. “I’m a people person,” she simply states with an easy going smile of a person who has grown up on a lake. What began as a rather hesitant start has now developed into a booming business. “Tara”, best known as the large, beautiful coiton plantation of the South in Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone With The Wind,” is the name of the new bed and breakfast inn situated on the east shores of Lake Wawasee. Donley had always admired the great movie classic and the spunky determination of Scarlett O’Hara and the suaveness of Rhett Butler. A romantic at heart, she decided to name her large home after the famous southern home. Born and raised in Indianapolis, Donley visited Lake Wawasee during the summers with her family and has lived on the lake for the past eight years. The land has been owned by her family since the mid-19th century. Ironically, the recently divorced Donley pointed out that there seems to be a repeat of history in her family. Much like herself, her grandmother, Martha Crow, having been widowed with two young boys, decided to start her own inn on the lake. It is now named the Crow’s Nest Yacht Club. The first official guests of “Tara” was June 11 of this year

and it is already booked every weekend through Labor Day. The inn is open all year round to visitors of the Lakeland area. “A lot of people who have visited have been friends of friends/’she said. The house, a 4,300 square foot tri-level, with large windows and sliding glass doors looks out across a large yard and private beach. The home, having been too large for herself and her one daughter still at home, has been ideal for guests. Visitors have the freedom of the house, decks, beach and pier. She rents out the three bedrooms (two queen and one double) per night and offers a continental breakfast each morning. Despite the many strangers to her home, Donley has felt very comfortable, “I’ve never felt like an outsider to my own home. I’m a talker myself and always feel real comfortable.” The experience has proven to be very beneficial and exciting. Visitors from as far as California, honeymooners and even a couple celebrating their 49th wedding anniversary have been guests at “Tara,.” Though the home is not ideal for young children (stairs and close to water), Donley did have a very memorable young guest. A couple who had been wanting to adopt for many years made reservations at the inn weeks in advance. Right before the planned visit, word was received that they were able to adopt a newborn. Being no place for the newborn, the child slept in a drawer during the weekend visit. f “So far it has been a super experience. I’ve met wonderful people, looking for a homey atmosphere wanting to meet other people.” Donley doesn’t know what the future has in store. The business may continue and it/fnay not, “My daughter has two more years of school, I’ll see what happens after that.” Scarlett O’Hara had once said, and Donley is saying today, “After all tomorrow isanother day.”
