We found Cheesecake Farms B&B through a LivingSocial deal, and were drawn in because they allow dogs for an extra fee. Plus, I love horses and just being able to look at the horses made me happy, even if I couldn't ride them. I'm not sure what the usual set up is like, but through our deal we were fed food from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed, and all of the food was amazing. Karla was there with a warm smile to greet us, and the Sunday breakfast was spectacular - if you're there for it, take small bites because more and more food just keeps arriving and you'll regret filling up on bread and pastries early on!
Because we had our pooch with us, we stayed in the barn loft. It was very quiet (you can't hear or smell the horses at all), and had the upper apartment. It was very clean, very spacious, and a comfortable quiet getaway. Leave the windows open to listen to crickets all night long. Though I completely understand why they must have the rule, it's hard to see so much open land and have to keep your dog leashed all of the time. Our poor pooch just wanted to stretch her city legs in the grass and there are not paths to walk around in the woods on the immediate property.
There are various vineyards and wineries near by (that allow dogs), and a 20 minute drive from several town hubs for dinner.
The only criticism I can think of was that the food was all so incredibly delicious, but the coffee was not very good at breakfast. The high caliber of the meal just demands the compliment of french pressed coffee with high quality beans!
And yes, as you guessed it, the cheesecake was divine! read more
