her journey on November 14, 1889. She wanted to beat the "fictional" bet made by two
members of the Reform Club of London to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days, and she did, in 72
days. She departed by steamship from Hoboken, NJ and her travels took her through England, France,
Egypt, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and Japan. Our Nellie Bly room is dedicated to the traveler in all of us!

"Not long after I arrived at Wild Orchard Guest Farm, I realized to my delight that it was the perfect
setting in which to write. When I sat at my window overlooking the woods and fields, typing away on my
novel, I could hear the nickers of the miniature horses, the bleating of the goats, and the calls of
the peacocks, which often rested on the roof just outside the window. My room was comfortable and
homey, the farmhouse beautifully decorated and full of art. All this, combined with Molly's warmth
and generosity, made my creative time there tremendously productive. I highly recommend Wild Orchard
Guest Farm to writers who want an inspiring setting and a nurturing space in which to focus on their
work."

"What a joy it was to stay at your place and have my family meet you.
Thanks again for everything."

"Wild Orchard is a true find. While looking for a place to go on retreat with 3 college friends, I searched
and searched for just the right place and found it - and then some - at Wild Orchard. Even though we were
there only 24 hours, it felt much longer. We loved the history, of the house, the care in the décor, the
comfort of the beds, the gorgeous gardens, the sweet labyrinth, the delightful peacocks, the farm fresh
foods, the quiet and Molly's attention to detail. We all felt nurtured by the place and by Molly. It was
a much-appreciated respite from our sometimes too busy lives, and we are already plotting our return.
Cheers!"

"We all had a great time at your special place and we hope to return for another retreat.
Sharing not only your guest house but yourself made our time memorable and restorative."

"We had a wonderful vacation and are so glad we discovered Wild Orchard Guest Farm so close to our
granddaughter's house. It was unbelievable. It is hard to find smoke-free accommodations and you were
just where we wanted to be to attend our great-granddaughter's first birthday party. Thanks for opening
up your home to us.. we truly appreciated every minute of it. Roger enjoyed himself very much... just like
the farm he grew up on. Brought back many memories. We will be back when we come your way again. It was nice
and relaxing there... the peacock was something else. You are a fine hostess and tended to all our needs.
Your breakfasts kept us going. You are in such a remote location and there is not much around to do so it
is a great B&B for those who want to let go and just relax.
Lazy Lion Cafe in town and Johnsons in Northwood
were great eating places. Your mom and you make quite a team. Hope we did not disrupt her puzzle plans too
much. Has she completed it yet? Thanks again for a great time."

"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."

"Molly, Anne and I wanted to let you know what a great time we had. The accommodations exceeded

return in the near future and enjoy more of your hospitality."

"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."
