Adventures at Geoffroy Farm
My husband, twin 10 year olds and 3 dogs arrived for a 3 week stay mid-October and ended up staying four months. Our new home was being built during Covid and the process was challenging at best. The Farm was welcoming and secure and we couldn’t have asked for more during our time there. Because of the pandemic, we were all working from home – even the kids were remote for a good period of time. There was plenty of room for us to all have our own working space. Although the satellite internet was not intended to support 4 people working at the same time, we added our own hot spot and it worked out just fine.

Rob is an unbelievably gracious host and Tony is on top of keeping everything running like clockwork - not an easy process with 3 units, 9 animals and all the native critters from the forest surrounding the rustic property. We experienced widespread power outages during a particularly ugly snow storm and they didn’t miss a beat. All winter, the driveway was plowed and the property accessible. Rob brought fresh fruit around on a regular basis. There are plenty of stores and restaurants close by, but not too close. Our now family favorite pub is walking distance at the end of the road.
If you’re looking to really get out of town, and embrace all that that entails, this is a great place. If you’re looking for “city life” surrounded by trees, this is not that. Technology is challenging, but possible if you’re wil
