My sister and I visited over a long weekend during Parent’s Weekend at nearby Blue Ridge School. From start to finish, the weekend was fantastic. I was worried that check-in would be tricky because we arrived late, but they literally “left a light on for us” and made it simple. We entered the cottage to relaxing background music that was so nice we left it on all weekend. The cottage was clean and well cared for, and the farm itself was simply amazing. We enjoyed entertaining L’Etoile, the friendly kitty, feeding the horses and donkeys, and soaking in incredible mountain views. The Ambassador’s brother, John was a special treat— he escorted us to spots on the property where we witnessed spectacular views. He even coached us on taking memorable photos, and gave us a bit of history about the farm and its owner. We have vowed to return and recreate the magic of this weekend. Until next time, Carrie’s Cottage!
