May 2003 Graduation Weekend Smith College

Our excitement at being back in the area makes up for the rainy days. Thank you for being a lovely host — the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, the sound of the rain and reading Virginia Woolf. The wisteria will benefit from your sound advice back home. We look forward to a return visit to your idealic setting and cozy home. — R&J Katonah, NY

August 2007

I came for the Felter’s Fling at Snow Farm and chose to stay here at Flower Hill Farm. What a good choice I made! Your home is lovely and I have enjoyed the old, obviously cherished wood floors beneath my feet. After a long day of learning new felt techniques, I came back to a full moon and the most serene walks in your moonlit gardens. It is like being in a painting — quite awe inspiring, a marvelous feeling of connection to the physical world. Thank you for your care and comfort! — SJ Richmond, Virginia

May 2010

I can’t begin to tell you what staying here for the last 2 months has meant to me. An oasis when I am so far from home (Florida.) The coming of Spring, the ever-changing rebirth and renewal. It made ‘me’ feel renewed. This was a time of growing and healing for me — to return to the ‘simple.’ Thank you for everything. It was a joy. — CF Florida

August 2010

We couldn’t have picked a more beautiful setting to celebrate our 24th anniversary. Gazing on the garden while sipping wine and eating local cheese and waiting for the moon to rise was so romantic. The birds and butterflies entertained us and overwhelmed us with their beauty. Now we’re refreshed and ready to start year 25! — A&P Fanwood, NJ

October 2013

A wondrous place

To ponder and rest

Like the white paper birch

Standing tall down below

Fingers stretched to the heavens

As if to caress God’s face

This is a place truly blessed

To come and fill your soul and escape from life’s lurch

To fill your heart and mind with what nature has to bestow

Flower Hill Farm is a recipe for the soul to leaven. — F Family

January 2014

We want to thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us. You have the perfect “view” and a wonderful “Flower Hill Farm.” A beautiful wildlife sanctuary, even in the winter. To see snow on the mountain and walk through your hill, was a special gift! I am so happy to also have seen your moon and sunrises! You have an enchanted place! — W&S Florida/ Massachusetts

February 2014
