Renowned lifestyle guru Martha Stewart is giving aspiring entertainers and domestic enthusiasts an extraordinary opportunity to experience a one-of-a-kind Thanksgiving-inspired stay at her New York farm guesthouse, as reported by the New York Post. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, the pressure to be the ultimate host is on, but now, guests have a chance to channel their inner Martha Stewart and create unforgettable memories at her Bedford farm's Tenant House.
For the very first time, Stewart, 82, is opening up her guesthouse to the public in collaboration with travel portal Booking.com, but the exclusive experience is available for only one night. On the 18th of November, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, guests can step into Stewart's world and immerse themselves in the charm and beauty of her famous estate, Cantitoe Corners.
Nestled within the picturesque 153-acre property situated in Westchester County, just north of New York City, the Tenant House provides a serene getaway. This spacious 1,800-square-foot guesthouse boasts two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and offers breathtaking views of Stewart's meticulously landscaped gardens and her iconic original greenhouse.
Stewart acquired this beloved property in 2000 for a remarkable $15.2 million, and it truly represents a domestic paradise. Highlighted by enchanting gardens, a linden tree-lined allée, whimsical topiaries, majestic maples, and even a hedge maze, the estate is a testament to Stewart's impeccable taste and commitment to creating a stunning living space.
During the exclusive overnight stay, which is priced at an incredibly affordable rate of $11.23 to honor this year's Thanksgiving date, guests will have the opportunity to explore the estate alongside Stewart's head gardener, Ryan McCallister. McCallister will lead guided tours, showcasing Stewart's famous chicken coop that is home to over 200 chickens, and allowing guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the lush gardens and stables.
But the true highlight of this extraordinary experience is the chance to have brunch with Martha Stewart herself at her Maple Avenue House, where her Roku show "Martha Cooks" is filmed. Renowned chef Thomas Joseph, executive vice president of culinary at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and a James Beard award-winner, will prepare the meal, providing guests with a remarkable culinary experience.
To ensure a comprehensive and delightful stay, Stewart has designed a full itinerary, incorporating her favorite Thanksgiving-inspired and fall traditions. Guests will have the opportunity to learn the art of wreath-making and table-setting from Kevin Sharkey, the executive vice president and executive director of design at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
In addition to all these incredible experiences, guests will enjoy airport transfers and off-property meals at Martha Stewart's recommended restaurants, such as The Inn at Pound Ridge by Jean-Georges. As a parting gift, guests will receive signed copies of Stewart's cookbooks and other delightful surprises to cherish the memories of this exceptional stay.
If guests wish to indulge in some outdoor activities, they can visit the nearby Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, a county park just a short distance from Martha's farm. Alternatively, they can simply enjoy the serene beauty and observe the various animals that inhabit the property.
"I think they will have a lovely time and be entranced with the charm of Bedford.... the whole township is just beautiful," said Stewart when asked about the upcoming experience, reflecting her optimism and excitement for the lucky couple who will have the chance to embark on this extraordinary adventure.
With limited availability, this opportunity to live out your domestic dreams in Martha Stewart's Thanksgiving-inspired Farm Stay is expected to captivate those seeking a unique and enchanting Thanksgiving experience. So, seize the chance to book your stay and create lasting memories at this extraordinary New York farm guesthouse – a true getaway like no other.
