A Peek Inside The Dreamiest Farmhouse Weekend
August 22, 2024
On a recent sun-kissed weekend, we escaped Upstate to the Farmhouse with tastemaker Elly McGaw and a few of her dearest friends. On the itinerary? The dreamiest lineup of activities suited to make the most of our Hudson haven. Continue on for a glimpse of summer getaway perfection—and leave with plenty of inspiration.
A Peek Inside The Dreamiest Farmhouse Weekend
9AM: The Start of a Magical Getaway
When Elly McGaw invited her friends Jordy Murray, Joanna Halpin, and Neada Deters to the Farmhouse for a fun-filled weekend, we made sure to lay the groundwork to ensure they had their dream weekend. Upon arrival, the group toured the property and then made their way to a local farm for berry picking where seasonal berries were just ripe for picking.

11AM: Farm-To-Table Fun
Back to the Farmhouse, the group enjoyed a cooking lesson with Chef Jeff Gimmel of Swoon KitchenBar. They prepared a chilled local cucumber and avocado soup, sweet summer corn cakes, a local lettuce and heirloom tomato salad, and finished things off with an apricot almond cake with honey almond yogurt. They gathered in our inviting dining room where they enjoyed every bite on our Pacific Dinnerware—making for the perfect mid-day activity.

Jordy Murray's Farmhouse Musings
“The property is so serene—I didn’t know I could be so relaxed! I was also swooned by all the lovely details. The house is a perfect balance of playful and elegant and every room is so well appointed.”

1PM: Poolside Moments
After lunch, Elly and her friends changed into their swimsuits and grabbed their Cloud Towels while lounging by the Farmhouse pool. Hours slipped away as they all sipped on the Farmhouse Spritz with music softly playing.
5PM: The Dreamiest Cocktail Hour
“There is a type of inner happiness that for me personally can only be found in nature, when your body and mind can truly be present and at peace. From the moment we arrived at the Farmhouse, it was as if we all let out a big sigh. The Farmhouse was exactly what we were all craving. Also, I must add that the Farmhouse Spritz was the best I’ve ever had!”

7PM: Self-Care With The Sunset
During golden hour, the ladies enjoyed cocktails and appetizers. The celebratory lineup featured wine, oysters, local melon mostarda, local veggies, and crowd-pleasing dipping sauces from Jeff Gimmel of Swoon Kitchenbar.
The day ended in the best way possible: in the Oak Wellness Club cedar hot tub and cold plunge for a final dose of self-care. After all—who doesn’t love enjoying the sunset in a wood-fired cedar hot tub?
