Foxglove Farm Review
If you'd like to see how the locals live, this 120-acre organic farm on the road to Mount Maxwell rents three basic but comfy family-friendly accommodations. A two-bedroom log cabin has a bathroom with a clawfoot tub, while a classic one-bedroom farm cottage has a sleeper sofa in the living room. (A third tiny cabin with no bathroom of its own serves as extra sleeping space, if you need it.) There's no meal service, but you can order a basket of the farm's own fruits, vegetables, and eggs to be waiting when you arrive. Take advantage of workshops on topics ranging from cheesemaking to foraging.
