Your Farm Stay Experience

Our property has always been a personal sanctuary, offering a unique connection to nature while seamlessly blending the comforts of modern home amenities. It’s a place where the beauty of the outdoors and the convenience of modern living come together.

It’s a wonderful spot to enjoy al fresco meals under the stars while gazing at the Big and Little Dipper.

For those who love to explore, our dirt road is perfect for peaceful walks or bike rides. Just a half-mile down, you’ll find a protected brook where you can fish or catch frogs. Along the way, you might encounter neighbors walking their dogs and exchanging friendly hellos.

Seasonally, guests can enjoy our vegetable garden and treat it as their own during their stay.

Our free-range hens and mini donkey roam the property, adding charm and life, while our draft horses graze peacefully in the pasture.

Important Farm Guidelines
While this is a working farm, it’s also our sanctuary. Guests must respect our animals and safety rules:

Stay out of the electrified pastures.

Ensure children follow safety guidelines and do not taunt animals.

You may occasionally see the farm owners or our friendly farmhands tending to the horses or maintaining the property. Rest assured, we respect your privacy and are here to ensure you enjoy the retreat on your own terms. We’re always happy to answer questions or assist if needed, but otherwise, we’ll leave you to relax and unwind.

There is a seperate road for the barn and property out back which is a shared enterance at the very end of the driveway. We have a farmhand who lives on the seperate property beyond the barn, out of sight, you may see her on the barn road as she travels to and from work, she is a local lobster fisherman!


Please note that as this is a working farm, you may experience some farm smells—something we cherish as part of the life we love here. It’s a way of living that we’ve worked hard to build and take great pride in. We’re thrilled to share this beautiful experience with other respectful families who appreciate the charm of farm life.

Dogs: All dogs must be well-mannered, leashed, and supervised. For pet-sitting needs, a trusted neighbor doggy daycare is directly across the street.
