This born and bred NYC gal chased waterfalls and farms this past weekend with a great experience at this Hudson Valley venue.

I was here during the remnants of Tropical Storm Elsa which at first put a damper on things. First thing I did was schedule a deep tissue massage.
I also brought with me a big oversized umbrella and walked the grounds when the rain would lighten up.

At first I could not find the llamas at their house. But I was equally impressed by the bees and beautiful structures.

I continued walking the trails to find an opening to about a dozen llamas! Win!

A unique-looking (at least to me) rooster who was monitoring my every move near the chickens. He was very excitable. I was pretty happy I finally got a picture of him for my memory log.

I also cautiously followed mom and dad goose as they protected the baby otherwise unencumbered around the property. There were dozens of geese gaggling about. But the baby was always protected in the center.

Above and beyond it’s lovely grounds I found the restaurant Henry’s wonderful . . . From the service to the wine selection, the food, and of course dessert (come hungry and stay at the inn so you can roll into bed :).

Below is a link to their website. It certainly was not an inexpensive evening but it was one of my most fulfilling in one venue. As a final point, the massage I scheduled, it was great too!
