About this property

Quiet Retreat - Guest House on Flower Farm - Sleeps 7

Stay at our peaceful 3BR, 2BA farmhouse on Good Seeds Flower Farm. The home sleeps 7 with two queen bedrooms and a bunk room, plus a full kitchen, workspace, laundry, fire pit, outdoor dining, and beautiful farm views.

A note about Good Seeds Flower Farm:

Good Seeds Flower Farm was created to grow more than flowers. Our mission is to provide meaningful, paid employment and a welcoming place to belong for individuals with disabilities. Your stay at the Guest House directly helps us fund wages and create more opportunities for our farm team, and we’re grateful that choosing to stay here allows you to be part of that mission.

Because the Guest House is located on our working flower farm, you may occasionally see members of our team working in the fields or around the property during your stay. We’ll always respect your privacy, but you’re also more than welcome to say hello!

During the summer season, we typically host flower u-picks on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. These events may bring a few additional visitors to the farm, but they are limited to designated areas and hours. The Guest House spaces remain reserved for our guests.

The flower field is generally in bloom from April through early October, although what’s blooming and the overall appearance of the field will vary throughout the season based on weather and natural growing conditions.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Terrific property. Every detail was carefully planned in this house from the layout to the extra touches. As a family of five we were comfortable and appreciated all of the little touches. The owners were very helpful and responsive as well. All of this and such a beautiful piece of land! Highly recommended!

Hi, David. I’m surprised to see such a low review. We’ve actually never had a review on Vrbo below 10 stars and on Airbnb below a full five stars. We’d love to know more about your stay so that we can understand more about your review score. Thanks!
