The photos of the 1880 Farmhouse don't prepare you for the experience of the place. The farmhouse sits tall on a hill surrounded by undulating green fields. Once inside, you are always aware of the landscape and the sky, framed by scores of tall sash windows. The spacious rooms, high ceilings, muscular woodwork create a palpable sense of permanence and serenity. The decor, done by the Host, manages to mix history with the present in a way that is elegant yet unpretentious, warm, and welcoming. Every piece of furniture, every painting, every element seems exactly suited to the place. The whole property is fully equipped with everything guests could need, particularly the kitchen, which provides among other things two ovens and two dishwashers, a massive refrigerator and freezer. Beds are quite comfortable. The location is central to many of the villages and towns of horse country. The Host provides spot-on recommendations for restaurants, breweries and wineries, and activities. He met us at the property for check-in and gave us a fascinating tour of the property; afterwards, he was exceptionally responsive to questions by text.
