My mother-in-law Alison had purchased for Jeff and I over Christmas a gift certificate to the Farmhouse B&B. I was really excited when we opened up this gift because on top of getting away for the weekend she also provided us with babysitting while we were gone. So we decided that we would use it as an anniversary getaway since our 8 year wedding anniversary is on Wednesday. We had a fantastic time and lovely weather to boot.
When we arrived at our lodging for the weekend we were greeted by the very friendly Inn keepers and taken on a tour around the property which was located between Langley and Freeland on Whidbey Island. We were shown all of the local resident bunnies and the resident donkeys Leo and Cleo. The bunnies followed us around hoping for us to provide them with carrots which they rushed over as soon as they were aware that is what you had with you. I think we spent a good part of our stay feeding the bunnies and the donkeys and I am pretty sure that those rabbits and donkeys never go hungry.
On Friday night we decided to head into town and go and visit the local wine shop. There we of course participated in a wine tasting which was fantastic and ended up bringing home a couple of bottles to enjoy. Then we headed to dinner at Prima Bistro in Langley for some tasty mussels and fantastic dessert up on their deck.
On Saturday we had a big dinner planned at the Inn at Langley so we decided to take it easy and just relax. We were actually able to get through a bunch of our books which was nice. We visited a few farmer’s markets in the morning followed by shopping in town. For lunch we went to the Chef’s Pantry in town and they made us a picnic basket of a bunch of cheeses, meats, and bread which was really tasty. In the evening we headed to dinner and boy was that a fantastic meal. Two of our favorite dishes they prepared was the Taku Salmon with peas and bacon, and for dessert they served a honey mousse with chocolate sorbet. To die for.
I’ve included a bunch of pictures below of our stay and I highly recommend visiting the Farmhouse when you are on Whidbey and tell the bunnies and the donkeys hi from us!
