Grace Note Farm is truly a beautiful place.
Each morning we woke up with a cup of coffee and walked around the farm to say hello to all the animals. Whether we chose to relax on the hammock while the kids played on the tire swing and rope ladder, take a hike in Washington Park (linked to the farm via trails), go fishing, go boating, feed the chickens (and get fresh eggs) or spend some time with the animals… there was always something to do.
What was truly wonderful about the farm was the versatility.
For us, we needed a relaxing place to stay and do our own thing but it was nice knowing that Virginia offered a farm stay option where the kids could learn more about the farm as well as a meal option in which she would cook us gourmet meals. Virginia was truly exceptional about curating the experience to be exactly what we wanted it to be.
While at the farm we were truly blessed to connect with a local trainer who offered riding lessons. While this needed to be booked in advance and coordinated it was truly an exceptional experience! Additionally, we happen to be here when Virginia held her monthly concert. The professional cellist and pianist were beyond words. This paired with Virginia’s own amazing talent with music provided such a serene background for the stay and inspired both myself and my family.
As for the house it’s beautiful. We were able to enjoy living in the 1700s (with the helpful addition of water and electricity). We slept on a rope bed, gobbled up a few cookies with an old-fashioned recipe and enjoyed the charm and authenticity of this old farmhouse.
Finally, I can’t say enough about the location. We were able to do a trip to most of the New England states knowing that we always had a consistent place to return. Overall it was an amazing stay and I strongly recommend it to anyone looking to get away and have an awesome experience.
