The Olive Room is located directly above the kitchen. Because of this, sound does travel upward, and you may hear activity from the kitchen area below, especially during mornings and meal prep times. (9 am and 12:30 pm.) If you are a light sleeper or prefer a very quiet environment, this may not be the best fit. We want to be upfront so you can choose the space that works best for your needs. The space Cooks Mill Manor is onsite at Tillers International. It is a non-profit organization that leads in teaching essential homesteading skills. Our offerings include toolmaking, timber framing, woodworking, coopering, and blacksmithing. You may encounter staff and students during your stay. Whether you’re here for a workshop or a peaceful rural retreat, the farm offers a quiet place to unwind and reconnect. And if you’re taking one of our multi-day classes, you’re eligible for 10% off your class when you also book a stay with us. Just ask us about our Lodging + Class Bundle. The Farm centers around a 1980's stone farm house with five spacious private bedrooms. From the farmhouse, you can stroll or bike around 220 acres of fields and trails, or go down through the woods to the pond filled with wildlife, all on the property. Down at the barn you can visit with our cows, oxen, donkeys and horses. Guest access Guests have access to the kitchen, dining room and library. Please refrain from entering the buildings or barns as we are a working farm and instructional facility. During your stay Cooks Mill Manor is located on the grounds of Tillers International, a small nonprofit organization dedicated to traditional skills and sustainable farming. Throughout the week—and occasionally on weekends—you may encounter staff, students, or community members gathering in the kitchen, working in our shops or tending to the farm. Their presence adds to the unique, welcoming atmosphere of the property, and they’re always happy to share a smile or a story. Other things to note We do not have air-conditioning however there is a ceiling fan and we do offer a stand fan.
