We enjoyed a wonderful anniversary weekend on Elisabeth and Mark's farm - they are the sweetest couple and perfect hosts! The farm is in a very central located on the island - it only takes a few minutes to drive to the beach, ferry, Beach Store Café, hikes, Willows Inn, etc.
Prior to arriving, communications were timely and clear. When we arrived at the farm, Elisabeth and Mark greeted us promptly and helped us get situated in the loft. We loved how the loft was so spacious, immaculately clean, and equipped with everything we needed and more. The brand new kitchen had an oven, stove, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and was well-stocked with pots/pans, cooking utensils, dinnerware, etc. In the bathroom there were fresh towels, travel-size shampoo/conditioner, even Q-tips. And much to our delight, since it was the tail end of peony season, there was a beautiful, fragrant arrangement of peonies on our coffee table.
We had so much fun leisurely exploring their beautiful farm - in addition to hundreds of pretty peonies, there were other many other types of flowers, a few large gardens, an orchard, lots of hens, hummingbirds, sparrows, and cute barn cats. We watched Mark feed the hens and he even let us pick eggs from the hen house which we took home with us to enjoy.
Mark and Elisabeth are incredibly warm and genuinely kind people. They were always available to answer questions and took time out of their busy day to chat with us, making us feel so welcome. Overall, Full Bloom Farms is a great value and we highly recommend it for a relaxing PNW getaway! read more
