Victoria's House is situated in the idyllic Norwalk countryside at Rose Farm, a boutique flower farm. The home has been thoughtfully designed to exude the warmth + charm that Victoria, my late mother-in-law, herself radiated. You'll find a basket to collect eggs from the coop each day, vases to fill with flowers you harvest from the gardens (seasonally), and fresh ground coffee ready to be brewed each morning. Come take a sabbatical and enjoy the slow pace + beauty of the country. Inside Victoria's House, you'll find beautiful accommodations for eight guests, with the eighth guest on a rollaway. While you're with us, plan to enjoy the Rose Farm experience of a workshoppe, a garden party, a farm to table dinner, a stroll through the gardens or afternoon sweet tea in an Adirondack chair. The Shoppe at Rose Farm is filled with carefully curated goods, from tea towels, specialty coffees + teas, candles, aprons + home accents. With this special guest house, comes the opportunity to find magic. There is magic in watching a sunrise and sunset over the farm. There is magic in being barefoot in the grass, filling a jar with lightning bugs in the humid summer air. There is magic in watching the stars twinkle overhead late at night. There is magic in the quiet peacefulness as you kick your legs up and read a book. There is magic in laughter. There is magic in a summer playlist as you hum along to the tune. There is magic in brightly blooming flowers dancing in the fields. There is magic in enjoying a picnic on a blanket under a shade tree. There is magic in a cold glass of sweet tea and lemonade. There is magic in sitting around the campfire and roasting marshmallows until they are golden brown. There is magic in the first sip of morning coffee. There is magic in yoga on the lawn. There is magic in gathering fresh eggs from the coop. There is magic everywhere you look, and we hope you'll be our guest. Southern hospitality runs through every part of me, and how blessed I am to share this same zest for life + celebrations with Victoria. The dream of Rose Farm was built with the desire to have a gathering place where you can take a sabbatical and stop and smell the roses on life's journey. A place where you can learn something new in a workshoppe, or where you can unwind surrounded by nature's beauty. We raise honeybees, harvest hay fields, and create habitats for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. Multiple breeds of free-range hens happily wander the farm and produce a striking array of colored eggs. Fresh herbs are grown from seed and find their way into floral arrangements + family recipes. Seasonally, breathtaking fields of flowers delight the senses and dot the property with a spectrum of colors. White hydrangeas bloom displaying their lavish shape, as do several varieties of David Austin English roses, ranunculus, dahlias, tulips, cosmos and asters. Watch the ornamental grasses and Bells of Ireland dance in the wind. Raspberries, aronia berries, apple and pear trees provide flavorful fruit, along with many other varieties thriving on the farm.
