When you need a place to stay for 10 people, what could be better than a farmhouse close to gorges, waterfalls, and cute towns?
Enric and Laura found a charming and cozy 1860’s farmhouse in Spencer, New York, which we quickly found out on our arrival, the photos on the internet didn’t do it justice, but I will have a try here…
A very welcoming beginning…
This was our view from the house, as well as fruit trees, and a lovely weeping willow tree, one of my favorites!
The house was adorned with lovely flowers too!
Loved this doorway into the…
…beautiful stone-walled courtyard.
One of the lovelier bedrooms went to Jenny and Miquel! It had double doors opening up into the courtyard.
A shame it was too hot for a fire in the fire place!
The boys got this cute room which the chest in the corner was a perfect place for their laser tag and other treasures!
Miranda demonstrates that this room was best for the littlest people.
The girls got this room, and it was very special – it was so tiny, it was like a little dolls’ room!
All the bedrooms were filled with sweet old touches, books to read, and the feeling like you were visiting your own grandparents for the week!
The farmhouse had a recent extension built in the 1990’s, so there was one modern bathroom…
…and one adorable old bathroom.
The kitchen was a favorite room for me, well stocked, and just spacious and perfect for so many of us.
One perfect touch was this breakfast nook, quickly made into the kids’ table.
At least once, Enric and Miranda skipped over the dining room table and elected the window seat for their dinner seating.
But quite often, it was Jenny who claimed the window seat. 🙂
Once, after a long day looking at waterfalls and hiking, we came home to this view out of the window, these precious deer, perhaps snitching the apples from the trees.
We enjoyed our stay, and it was rather hard to leave all the coziness.
