Thanksgiving is just around the corner and sets the bar high when it comes to hosting. But how can you elevate your entertaining skills to impress your guests?
One unique opportunity to enhance your hospitality game is by vying for Martha Stewart’s Thanksgiving-Inspired Farm Stay. The rental, listed on Booking.com for a one-night-only stay on November 18, will offer guests the chance to spend the night at Stewart’s Bedford, New York, farm’s Tenant House and even meet the domestic goddess herself.
Martha Stewart’s property, Cantitoe Corners, spans 153 acres in Westchester County and features picturesque gardens and classic architecture. The standalone, 1,800-square-foot guesthouse holds two bedrooms and two bathrooms and offers a charming, picturesque place for a tranquil stay.
The collaboration with Martha Stewart marks the first time she has opened her guest house to the public in this way. The overnight stay can be booked on a first-come, first-served basis when the booking window opens at noon ET on November 16.
Priced at $11.23 to honor Thanksgiving’s date, the experience encompasses a full itinerary curated by Stewart, highlighting her favorite Thanksgiving-inspired and fall traditions. From check-in at 10 a.m. to a guided tour of the property with her head gardener and brunch at Stewart’s Maple Avenue House, the stay promises a set of unique experiences. Guests will also learn wreath-making and table-setting from Kevin Sharkey. The farm stay includes an airport transfer, welcome snacks, and an off-property lunch and dinner at Stewart’s recommended restaurants.
The Tenant House, with its inviting, bright interiors and traditional architecture, is sure to create a lifetime of memories. Ample windows frame beautiful gardens, creating a soothing atmosphere for unwinding.
A warm blend of contemporary comfort and traditional elegance, the Tenant House is equipped with a fully-equipped kitchen, terrace, and garden, offering a delightful respite from city life. However, guests must review the requirements for the stay, including signing a non-disclosure agreement and being subject to security screening. The emphasis on decorum is clear: guests are expected to adhere to standards of good citizenry.
For those lucky enough to snag this exclusive booking, Martha Stewart’s insights, farming anecdotes, and travel stories will provide stimulating conversation. With a passion for travel, Stewart keeps her encyclopedic list of unexplored destinations close. But she also has the knowledge to share, including tips for planning the perfect Thanksgiving meal.
Your knowledge of Thanksgiving dinner lore might intrigue Stewart, who is quick to share her favorite turkey preparations and delightful pie recipes, including her milestone high apple pie. The prospect of bonding over travel tales during brunch with Stewart will surely be a highlight of this rare opportunity.
