The space Prior guests have loved the extra touches in the cottage (continental breakfast items, water & snacks, local beer/wine); the clean country air and crickets singing at night; the relaxing farm setting; walking the fields and trails; interacting with the goats and guard dogs; and an opportunity to try our goat milk, yogurt, kefir, chevre, and goat milk soap during milking season. Guest access Hammock, chaise lounges, table/chairs in private area just behind the cottage. Outdoor furniture in the orchard and at various lookouts on the property. Guests are welcome to walk the back pastures/orchard, the path to Angeline Brook, and the walking trails in the woods. Guests can explore the historic cemetery just behind the cottage where four Revolutionary War/War of 1812/Civil War veterans are buried. Other things to note This is a working farm, so you may experience farm smells and sounds during your stay. We do have several chicken coops with roosters. Although the goats and guard dogs are locked in the barn at night and barking should be minimal, we provide a white noise machine and earplugs in the cottage for any light sleepers. Hay season can bring machinery, commotion, and dust as multiple tractors traverse our 4 hay fields cutting, raking, tedding, baling, and taking the bales off the fields. We generally keep our 2nd cut (August) so you may witness our "haying party" when we recruit friends and neighbors to help us pull ~400 bales out of the fields, up the hay elevator, and into our hay loft.
