Welcome to a world away from the complexity of daily life. When creating
the bed-and-breakfast on Rose Wind Farm, I envisioned a place where guests
could relax and unwind in privacy, a pretty place with a bit of romance
and magic yet fun for families or friends. The room colors of soft blue
and brown calm the spirit, while the artwork and décor remind
you of the birds, flowers, and farm life here in the country.
The
living room area includes a comfortable sofa and chair, cabinet with satellite
television, DVD/VCR (videos are available), and an electric fireplace.
Oak
kitchen cabinets are filled with dishes, a variety of glassware, pots,
pans, utensils, and cooking ingredients. There's also an electric
range, refrigerator, microwave, blender, mixer,
toaster, coffee maker
and grinder, and tea pot. Eat breakfast (in your jammies, if you prefer)
from the eggs, pancake mix, cereal, juice, and other items available
to fix at your leisure.
"We came
here to get away and relax, and we did just that. It was more than
we expected. Maggie was so friendly and had everything we could have
wanted for food. This is our new secret hideaway."—Larry
and Dori B.,
Fishers, Indiana
The
dining area is furnished with maple Tell City table, chairs, corner cabinet,
and sideboard. A metal-and-wood etagere holds snacks, bar supplies, and
a diversity of books. Clear off the table and have a game of cards,
backgammon, checkers, chess, Monopoly, or Scrabble.
Sleep
well in a queen-size bed crowned with raw silk and fitted with an
extra-firm mattress topped with memory foam and high-count linens.
Put your clothes in the ample closet. |

The
second bedroom features a futon that serves as both a sofa and a
double bed. Send postcards home from the glass-topped desk, or work,
if you must. There’s a large closet and a chest-of-drawers
here, too. | 
In the bathroom, there are plenty of thick towels, including ones for using with the outdoor hot tub. Special soaps with natural fragrances are handmade in Bloomington. Other toiletries are also available as well as hair dryer, washer, dryer, iron, and ironing board. |
Just
outside the patio doors is a large flagstone terrace with a unique cedar
gazebo, old-fashioned swing, cushioned chair and chaise (for reading, napping,
listening to the birds, or watching deer), table, chairs, and umbrella, stone
benches around the firepit (firewood, marshmallows, chocolate, and graham
crackers are provided), gas grill, and hot tub (the perfect place to relax
under the stars). Feeling competitive? Try a game of croquet. Need some exercise?
Take a walk to the creek. Want to learn about flowers, trees, and shrubs?
Consider a stroll around the cedar-fenced yard. Culinary herbs are here,
too, if you want to spice up your cooking.
