FARM RETREATS
Sleep in a houseboat and listen to the water lap against its walls. Walk to another waterway and have a picnic in one of the screened woodland structures or in our gazebo overlooking the foothills of the Berkshires. Whether Tim or Annie are demonstrating stone building techniques, making salsa, pesto or a green smoothie from their garden bounty, the projects related to life and the land are plentiful and ongoing.
