This was the perfect place to celebrate our 1st Anniversary. The views are spectacular. We enjoyed waking to changing colors and falling asleep while gazing at the stars. The cats, dogs and horses were a special treat for me and the view from the ridgeline was stunning! (Thanks for the suggestion Alton). Plans to return are already brewing. Thanks for everything.

There is more to poetry than just words. It is starry nights, green pastures, friendly hosts and cozy studios. It is coffee on the deck as the sun rises, watching the cows in their morning graze over the hills. It is a bottle of wine for two as the sun sets behind the mountain tops--a romantic journey away from yesterday's troubles and into tomorow's promises.

Lynn & Alton, our gracious hosts, thank you so much for sharing your farm with us and this lovely studio. We leave today with lasting memories and dreams of a place so pure and real, so full of life. We hope our first home together has the same country charm the Carriage House has and that our neighbors have the same peace about them as you do.

Thanks again,

Dear Lynn and Al, we had a great time at High Fields Farm! We went horseback riding, that was a BLAST! It makes me feel like I am home. It is so cozy and comfortable! We have been walking on the farm ( a lot of cow patties!) We have been climbing hills and that sorta stuff! We have taking pictures like crazy! We have 4 camera's full! It is so beautiful! It is like a wonderland! I hope you have a Great Day!
Love, Andria, Daniel, Alexander and our mom, Alex!

Well, we cannot exactly call this our "home away from home". Fairhill Farm is totally different! At home, we do not have a perfect black night sky with more stars than I have ever seen. We do not have cool and crisp mountain air! So, today we return to Hampton, Virginia where we live near the Newport News shipbuilding that lights up the night sky, Langley AFB and their jets that fly above, and not to mention the Fire Station a half mile from our house! We had a great time here. On Thursday morning on our way out, we saw a cow in labor. We watched for sometime, however, we did not see the actual birth. We hope that mom and baby are doing fine! (They are and baby is now about 500 pounds!) We enjoyed a visitg from one of the cats. We have two dogs, so I miss the purring of a happy cat. I Think that we enjoyed petting her more than she did!

We also visited several local wineries. To get to some of them, we drive on narrow country roads with no traffic and awesome mountain views. Everyone here is so friendly. Thank you Lynn, for meeting us on our way in on our first nigh. You and Al have helped to renew and refresh many guests at your lovely farms. We will return again this summer. We cannot wait to hear the symphony of grasshoppers and frogs!
Until next time...

We had such a wonderful time here at High Fields! We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary with this trip. It could not have been better. Our kids though we were crazy driving 1500 miles to stay on a farm when we live on a beautiful farm, but we are so glad we did. We relaxed at this farm instead of working!

We needed this vacation even more so after being in th path of hurrican Rita. We still have a mess to go home to but we are rested and refreshed. We had never been to Virginia and drove an extra 8 hours one way just to stay at High Fields! We didn't even explore the 130 acres. We strickly came here to enjoy this place and wow--did we love it! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful place with us. Everything was perfect and the trees were breathtaking.

We will be back and hope to bring our family so they can enjoy this place. Y'all are so lucky and blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Thanks again & God bless.

"True seclusion and privacy are difficult to find. When we were able to do so here, it was unbelievable! Our family comes together once a year and it is time we cherish. The views make you sit and ponder for hours, the cows bring a smile to your face, the rabbits make you want to run after them like a little kid!

I've decided to take down a wall in our house--The floor plan really brings everyone together! Thank you for sharing this piece of heaven with all of us and we'll see you soon, this I know!"

Dear Lynn & Alton

Thank you for a wonderful family vacation & the opportunity to reconnect with old friends. We've been to so many places--but none matched the charm of High Fields Farm. Our children loved the cows, we all loved the birds and views. Truly a delight--you thought of so many things when you prepared for your guests. I was delighted to find champagne flutes and bubble bath (the former for us, the latter for our 3 year old!!)

Thank you, thank you, thank you--it was marvelous!

Dear Lynn and Alton,

Thank you so much for your hospitality and your beautiful land!!! We loved the views, the pool, the hiking, the dogs (especially Bella-my swim partner) and your company. We will be in touch soon to plan our next trip in the fall of 2006

Thanks again for everything--Lori adds she loved the kitty cats also!

Dear Keels,

Thank you so much for sharing your place with me and so many others! God has truly blessed you with this property and all the skills you two have together!

It was exactly what I needed and so peaceful. I will definitely be spreading the word to other moms in Charlottesville.

Our Anniversary was all the more special because of our stay here. The beauty of the surroundings and of the cottage were a delight and made us very comfortable. The sunset ont he hillside was wonderful. We saw a red fox and deer. Thanks for everything!

Dear Lynn & Al,

Our second visit to High Fields Farm has been heavenly! Literally! I believe I saw more stars in the sky than I've ever seen in my life. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful farm with me and my family.

Dear Lynn & Al,

Our trip has been amazing! The view from every window was truly breathtaking! The cleanliness of this warm and inviting house exceeded our expectations. The beautiful sunsets rolling hills and awesome mountains were exceptional. This morning as we sadly packed to leave we saw a fox in the fields-what a treat and quite a surprise! We truly enjoyed our stay. We hope to see you all again.

Dear Lynn and Al, This vacation has exceeded all expectations! It's the kind of thing you wish for, but can't believe can actually happen. When we first arrived on the property, we thought "This is what it looked like on the website." Then, we got into the house itself and literally said, "This is even better than the website!" My kids LOVE this place: the pool, the bedrooms, the porch, the open space for entertaining (and playing!) and , of course, the gigantic TV (which, I am happy to say, they didn't watch much because there was so much for us to do together as a family. We've had great vacations in the past (and bad ones, too)--this stay definitely tops our list. We can't wait to come back. You are both so welcoming and friendly--we felt totally "at home." Your taste is exquisite, and we didn't need to ask twice about a thing. Your desire to please your guests is deeply appreciated, I assure you! One final note: this is the first time that my husband and I didn't have to bring our own champagne bucket and flutes on vacation. You do think of everything! Next time we'll use the cordial glasses, too! Christine Boucher & Family of Gaithersburg, Maryland High Fields Farm August, 2004
