Wake up on the farm

Posted on: Tuesday, February 23, 2016

"This was one of the most delightful places we have ever stayed. Sarah is the ultimate host! She made us feel welcome and made the complete farm experience with some local organic fare for breakfast. The location was perfect, just minutes outside downtown Mercersburg. We wished we lived closer as this is a retreat we would go to much more often. It was wonderful to wake up on the farm and see the Alpcas coming out in the morning to feed in the gated pasture next to the guest house. Absolutely...

great for smores and star-watching

Posted on: Tuesday, February 23, 2016

"Sarah and Mike were wonderful hosts. We arrived late, but everything was ready for our arrival. Delicious local products (eggs, milk, cheese, bacon, syrup and more) were in the pantry to try. Sarah was warm, gracious, and excited to introduce us to the beautiful alpacas. We loved the fire pit, and used it twice - great for smores and star-watching. The location was convenient for trips to parks, cute little towns. We particularly enjoyed a trip to take the waters in Berkeley Springs." Chris K...

I certainly did not expect that

Posted on: Tuesday, February 23, 2016

"What a great place to stay. It was incredibly quite and relaxing. I stayed with a colleague while working in town and we had plenty of room to work and the WiFi connection was good, too. We enjoyed using the grill and full kitchen so we didn't have to eat out every day. Sarah was at the house when we arrived and even made a grocery run for us. I certainly did not expect that. If I'm back in the area for work, I'll certainly book another stay here." Michael J December 2015

"We had a great time at the LAAF Guest House! Sarah was a great host! She was waiting for us when we pulled up to the house and she was very welcoming and accommodating right from the beginning. The house was great. It was stocked with organic local groceries among other amenities. Sarah provided us with a tour of the farm and was very knowledgable about the alpacas. She knows all 120+ of their names! We got to feed and play with the alpacas on the farm and were even able to walk 4 of the...
