Summer is in full swing at The Trellis House Properties.  We recently hosted our annual Trellis House BBQ during the July 4th holiday!  If you’ve ever stayed with us you know our food is legendary.   Our specialty is grilling which is a departure from our usual breakfast fare. Laurence’s recipe for Grilled Mustard Shrimp, featured in The Trellis House cookbook, is a crowd-pleaser. To purchase a copy of the book click here.
