Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection

We had a wonderful stay at Auberge. The cabins are cozy and very well appointed. The property is lovely with cute hiking trails and activities like farm tours, bread making and mixology. We loved exploring! It was also nice to sit on our cabin terrace and watch the stars. Very romantic!

This resort makes an attempt to provide a luxury experience. Personnel are all pleasant, but could use some additional training. Accomodations are lovely and we had a meadow view. However, there were no screens on any of the sliders/windows, and naturally the meadow attracts insects. Also the interior lighting lacked logic. My friend and I had separate cabins and we each had difficulty figuring out how and which lights were controlled where. Coffee pot in the room and unusual to operate. No one mentioned there was coffee in the main area by the fire pit, which we eventually noted. I am an early early riser and I would have enjoyed some 5:30 AM coffee. Food was inconsistent. Baked goods very nice and "all day" menu had some great items. However, we only learned about that menu from other guests. Spa lovely and well run. Generally relaxing atmosphere.

Spent 2 days and 2 nights at the end of October, a week after peak foliage but still serene and beautiful. Awesome view of the cliffs of the state park. The outdoor swimming pool (it’s heated!) was totally unused and awesome - 0 kids or anyone else for that matter, also had 2 jacuzzis to myself the whole time (best time to go is right before dinner / when spa shuts down at 6:30). Went walking around the property (short flat walks pretty easy) - the woods are amazing by the river with all sorts of birds there so bring binoculars and be peaceful. Many folks had big dogs which was pretty fun, some had babies (maybe less fun). The restaurant was crowded but the best place to sit is around the central fire at entrance - people come and go so plenty of spots. Food at Clay is great, albeit quite heavy. Service can be faster - way understaffed on a Sunday morning and $8 for a small cappuccino?!? A lot of thoughtful choices: vent above shower to remove steam, bone broth in the indoor swimming pool (from Clay) for something warm and hearty (and salty) along with nuts/granola, binoculars/flashlight in the room, blankets and quilts in the room, etc. HVAC ****** though was confusing to determine if it was cooling or warming and they could improve some of the signage where rooms are (brown metal signs which can be hard to read).

Wildflower Farms was nothing short of exceptional. The food was outstanding. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and there were endless places to sit and relax and take in the stunning views. The spa and pool area were nicely laid out. Even in October, they had the outside pool heated so we could swim outside with the fall leaves. The pool and spa area had sunscreen, towels, water, delicious bone broth and hot chai tea for whenever you fancied it. Just really nicely done. Our room was well fitted and the bed/pillows were awesome. We will certainly be back!

Everything exceeded our expectations. We were able to arrive early to extend our stay by starting with a spa day. The food and service were excellent and friendly. The add-on experiences and included classes (Vinyasa Sculpt for the win) rounded out or visit so well! Hope to come back sometime with the kids to experience the farm as a family.

I've stayed at several Auberge properties in the past and always loved them, but Wildflower Farms was disappointing. What was supposed to be a relaxing stay, ended up being a stressful experience from things not working in our room (HVAC, Phone) to lack of responsiveness from staff, and the inability to accommodate dietary restrictions.
