I was taking photographs of the Kitchens Garden Retreat yesterday. My little airbnb apartment. I have guests coming in today, so while it looked so pretty, I thought I would take some shots and update the site. I don’t mind if you have a look too.
Of course we have snow coming in later tonight so that will be interesting. The guests cannot park close to their little wing when there is weather coming in. We unload then take the car down to park by the barn. Not as convenient but better than getting stuck.
My favourite part of hosting is the dressing of the rooms. It is like setting up a stage for the theatre. Or creating a film set. Every detail sends a message and I just love that. It is a little like playing house. The bread is rising and soon I will boil some eggs and make the butter and stock the fridge full of interesting food from the farm. After I milk the cow this afternoon I will place a little bottle of fresh milk in the fridge for their coffee in the morning. I always put in storebought milk too just in case they do not choose the raw milk. It is a choice after all.
In the summer I hope to get more guests. You are welcome too, of course. In the summer this will develop into a proper farm stay.
In the meantime, there is still farming that needs doing. We can’t be playing house all day. There is a bit of snow forecast for the next few days but we will see. It is hard to predict. However, we need to be ready for whatever comes our way.
The animals had a day of sun yesterday which was just lovely. Today we will top up all the water tanks, put everything back where it belongs, John will put the snow plough on the truck, I close as many barn doors as I can and we see what happens. I always find if I am ready for the snow it is never as bad. Plus I changed FLIGHTS – that should cause the Gods to chuckle and pull the snow out altogether.
Twenty-six eggs! Twenty pounds of milk. We did well on the farm yesterday. The pigs are happy.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love celi

Oh how l would love to stay in you BB…it looks so comfortable and welcoming… Maybe l should start planning for 2019 as 2018 is already planned…where is the nearest airport? Enjoy your guests and hopefully they will not get stuck in the storm…send me an email at patreciau@gmail.com as l dont always see the replies to comments..and l am quite serious
I will send you an email. The nearest airport is in Chicago, of course.
That quilt on the bed is particularly lovely. Is it from somewhere or someone special?
It is just a bought one – but very pretty isn’t it. I do have a number of really old handmade ones from John’s family. One is almost 150 years old. c
What a beautiful place. Which I lived closer to come visit.
I wish you lived closer too – how is the hand?
Still painful and cannot do anything at all but it is only a week so I need to be patient (unfortunately I am not a very patient person) 😒
The Airbnb looks lovely. All those eggs and milk!! Wow I would never stop baking.
Trouble with baking is the EATING! c
Looks perfect. Very peaceful, welcoming and healing. One day…😊
It does have a very calm aspect to it – hope it is warm enough for them the wind is blowing something terrible.
Your airbnb looks lovely!!! And fresh bread upon arrival!?! Your guests will be delighted!!! 🙂
I always bake the bread as my contribution to their breakfast – i really am not set up to make hot breakfasts yet. c
A bowl of oatmeal with fresh bread & butter for toast and real milk sounds like absolute heaven to me: )
Very, very cozy and I love your phrase of “dressing the rooms”. How nice that is! I may steal, er, borrow that delightful phrase.
Snow predicted up here, too, today, and more gray days. 😦
It is a film term so you can borrow it!!
Lovely AirBnB! Very welcoming.
I hope so .. c
They won’t get bored in a snowstorm with their fantastic library!
Though if it was me, I’d probably want to spend my time talking to the pigs.
Yes – I think you would too – though there is always reading and sitting with pigs – maybe not this lot though – i think they would eat the book right out of your hands. c
Looks the business, I hope it goes well for you, I have heard nothing but good things from friends who have rooms on Airbnb.
They come about once and month and I think that is pretty good for the winter – it will be interesting to see what happens in the summer..
Gorgeous!
thank you – yes – I think it is cosy.
So delicious – in every aspect…sigh
Lots of deliciousness.. c
Your B and B is lovely- so comfy and beautiful too!
I am very pleased with it – that room has had many many visitors one way or the other.
It looks perfect for anyone wanting to just switch off and take some deep, peaceful breaths. I’d be spending most of my time in that bed with cups of coffee and and an armful of those books…
Everywhere I live I collect books – I just can’t help myself – it will not be long and i will have run out of room here. Books are not too expensive in America. If you buy the sales that is.
They’re a bit pricey here, to the extent that I buy from Amazon.com instead of Amazon.com.au. Doesn’t stop me having (and buying) far too many…
