Our Home and Neighborhood
After Bill retired from the Air National Guard, we found this lovely home, and in 2003, we moved here from Cape Cod Massachusetts. We enjoy being here so much that we decided to share our home and wonderful experience with our guests.
When you come, spend an afternoon and relax on our patio with a good book. You can also watch the activities of the working farm adjacent to our property, view the ever-changing colors of the cornfields, or perhaps see a rainbow.
Take a stroll around the property and enjoy the multiple flower beds. From early spring, with the yellow forsythia and daffodils, to late fall, with the deep orange and purple dahlias and chrysanthemums, an array of perennials is always in bloom.
There are several raised beds where we grow a variety of vegetables and herbs. Some of these fresh ingredients are used in your breakfast and summer tea.
On a hot summer day, sit by the stream (a millrace, which was man made in the 1800's for the mill up the road), and enjoy the refreshing breeze. Sometimes a great blue heron is feeding or a family of mallards is swimming by.
In the evening, sit on the swing on the front porch and watch the sky twinkle with fireflies.
If you are into walking, take in the scenic area as you meander along Lerew Road. Look for a hawk, a bluebird or an indigo bunting. You can watch the cows grazing in the fields.
At the end of Lerew Road, continue your walk through the countryside when you pick up the 3+ miles of walking trails through the South Middleton Parks.
If you want to spend the day fly fishing, the Yellow Breeches Creek, a nationally recognized trout stream and a state designated scenic waterway, is a short walk out our front door. This area of the creek is often fished year round.
And if you are up to hiking, the Appalachian Trail passes through Boiling Springs and is about 3 miles down the road.
At the end of the day, there are complimentary snacks, home baked goodies and a refreshing drink for you to enjoy.
