This was, without a doubt, one of the best places we have ever stayed. The attention to detail, the quality of the furnishings, the charm of Mary, is all unmatched. We will be returning!
Wish I had been able to stay longer. The property is absolutely beautiful and so quiet. My mom and I had a wonderful walk around in the morning - great exercise and views. Mary is a wonderful treat and extremely gracious. Hope to see her again!
Magical stay with wonderful animals and gracious hosts
My sister and I rented this guest home for a getaway weekend. Mary and Jay were incredibly welcoming hosts who clearly love their animals, and are eager to share their experience with them if you are interested. Incredibly, almost all of the animals on their farm - cats, dogs, mini donkey, horses, and one of the alpacas - loved being petted. The location is beautiful, private, and peaceful. Grateful for their hospitality.
Beautiful property, alpacas were so fun to see! Pool was an added on fee we didn't expect and had limited hours but if you're not planning on pool, it was a lovely stay.
Really enjoyed the property! Was in the area visiting some local wineries. The room was very comfortable, Mary was great! Would definitely stay again. If the upstairs apartment is occupied, you will be able to hear people moving around.
Not sure who I enjoyed more, the Alpaca or hostess Mary! Both were terribly charming and will bring me back. Location was perfectly situated for Great Meadows horse show. Studio was everything needed plus more!

About the host
Hosted by Mary Forte
Well traveled but love love love this farm and all the alpacas on it. It's great to meet new people and share the outdoor space that this farm offers. My family lives and works here.
Why they chose this property
"it's like heaven" is what I hear most often...and they are correct. With rolling hills, no matter what the season Cedar Hill Farm is magnificent.
What makes this property unique
Interact with the animals and enjoy the beauty of your luxurious apartment.
