"Hello! My husband and I really enjoyed the Wild Orchard Guest Farm and surrounding farm and your gallery and shoe shop! So much so we plan to come back. My daughter and granddaughter enjoyed the mini horses, peacocks and miniature goats! It was peaceful and endearing, Molly, you and your husband are consummate hosts and were willing to do anything to make ones stay comfortable and homey. I feel you are part of our extended family now! I am jealous and want a farmhouse on a hundred acres, a place built before our Nation was formed, a place with great books and art and antiques! It was wonderful to see three master shoemakers at work! Thanks! Molly."

"Wild Orchard Guest Farm has been a quiet and conducive place to finish my novel, Snow Falls From Heaven. A ripe and peaceful silence permeates the beautifully restored colonial farmhouse, broken only by the wind in the trees, fall leaves blazing liquid gold outside my window. Or perhaps the cry of a rooster, the bleat of a goat, or the clopping sound of a horse and rider out in front along the narrow dirt lane. I look forward to another visit!"
Lenaye Siegel - Maine - Fall 2007

"As an author and doctoral student at a local university, I have spent many long weekends at Wild Orchard - it has become my home away from home. It is a wonderful, restful and peaceful place conducive to deep thinking and flows of creative energy. As artists themselves, Molly and Paul are gracious and lovely hosts and have created a warm and inviting haven for those of us in need of periodic escapes into quiet and solitude. I am thankful to have discovered this very special place where the crowing of the rooster and the cries of the resident peacocks welcome you to each new day, and you will be too."
