We are grateful to welcome you to our beloved family home. Carley Farmhouse was originally built in 1837. We have designed the home to welcome multigenerational families, infants and toddlers, and beloved pets.
When you arrive to the exquisite Greek Revival home on 11 acres of naturalized farmland, you'll first notice the place. We're located just a bit above Lake Sadawga on a carefully maintained country road. You'll see the old Schoolhouse on the corner, willow trees along the stream, and forests of maple, hemlock, and poplar.
The outdoors are some of our favorite spaces for gathering. You can sit around the simple fieldstone firepit in the front yard, or have coffee on the front porch. The hummingbirds own the front porch, be careful! You can study up on tree ID with our handy field guide. If you watch closely, you can see ducks in the little pond, and deer, turkey, groundhogs, and porcupines in the meadow. The 3-season sunroom is our honorary outdoor hangout from spring through fall - hard to say how magical it is there.
Inside, we created a big art and play space for young children. We supply a bunch of arts supplies to inspire young ones’ creativity - an easel, watercolors, tempera paints, chalk, pencils, markers, chunky brushes for small hands, pastels, and various sorts of paper. There's also heirloom-quality solid maple building blocks, Magna-Tiles, stuffies, play-dough, and coloring books.
It might sound funny, but we get some of the best sleep of our life there. Each bedroom has a different view. The memory foam mattresses are dressed with quilted mattress toppers, spa-quality linens, real duck down duvets, and blankets (choose your favorite). The queen bedroom has a high-end wood crib, a collection of baby blankets, and blackout curtains. You can wake up to bird song and frog calls from the pond.
The kitchen is humble, no dishwasher, electric coil stove. But we are avid cooks and have fully equipped it. We use the Le Creuset dutch oven almost every day, and keep a pretty solid spice collection there, along with maple syrup made by a neighbor and some wicked spicy homemade chili crisp.
Folks probably spend the most time in the downstairs living room, if not playing with kids then puzzling, reading, tending the fire beneath the gorgeous hand-carved antique mantle, or playing guitar. The upstairs living room has a high-end TV and soundbar and complimentary streaming, so you can keep up with any and all shows.
If you've read this far, hopefully you feel this is the home for you. Welcoming people brings us delight and we treasure what you write in the guestbook and the artworks you leave behind.
