Situated on 10 acres, to enter the farmhouse, one walks through a stately pergola with large koi pond and soothing waterfall - home to their many large koi. Three bedrooms opulently appointed offer up the high level of stay the owners feel is important to restoration of the spirit and soul. Sustainability and accountability to the environment while supporting local businesses is paramount to their brand which also includes creating their own sausage, granola and maple syrup, as well as partnering with local growers, butcher and wineries. The Walnut Grove is a full-service Bed and Breakfast and Leslie, a Sommelier with culinary arts degree, enjoys cooking and sharing the wealth of the county to guests while Bob is fondly called ‘Builder Bob’ or ‘Tractor Bob’ depending on which hat he is wearing.
