Oh Emm Gheeeee.....the only thing that trumped this fantastic coastal mini-farm experience was the unbelievably gracious, cool, attentive, genuine, respectful, thoughtful, kind and awesome hosts!
We pulled into the property just a few minutes away from the coastline and were warmly greeted in the driveway with freshly crafted chilled beverages. From there, we were given the super-cool unique history of the farm in a personalized tour leading back to our private entrance into a finely manicured, french-inspired room with mini-bar, bathroom, snacks, coffee and the works! We were a bit weary from our travels and were looking for a local place to unwind so our hostess gave us a laundry list of options ranging from gourmet to take out.
Take out was our choice and we were able to dine in their crazy-cool red barn that was beaming with character, charm, and such a cozy/chill vibe. Amidst the antique barn decor, there was a finely prepared dinner table with possibly the fanciest dinnerware we've ever seen for us! As if this wasn't cool enough, we super-sized the experience by asking to enjoy their ji-normous hot tub that was all prepped for us with lights on and water hot when dinner wrapped up. I should also mention that they were so considerate and over-the-top responsible with the lates COVID precautions and made us feel very safe in a personable sort of way. After melting our cares away in the huge spa and watching shooting stars under the milky way sky, we crawled off to bed with the crickets chirping and pure, peaceful silence. The bed was amazingly comfortable and we slept like rocks.
Aniko happens to be an amazing cook and had an assortment of breakfast options available for us when we woke. From hand-crafted espresso based coffees to fresh fruit, pastries, parfaits, to freshly prepared chicken and duck eggs from their very own livestock! The eggs were prepared with homemade herbs de provance in a "frenching" sort of fashion and were out of this world. After chatting it up with Aniko for a while, her husband Martin warmly greeted us and we were given the opportunity to feed the chickens if we wanted to and also to go and pet the goats......uhhhh, yes please! The animals were so friendly and hilarious!
We can't say enough good things about this whole experience between this amazing mini-farm get away and also the unbelievingly awesome host and hostess. We're seriously already looking at the calendar for another day to slip away.... do yourself a favor and go soak up all the goodness they're offering up ;).
