Family Reunion and House Tour!

What a wonderful weekend this has been. Today we celebrated Joe Keller's Birthday here at the farm with his family. Joe and his wife Mary Jane owned Fallen Tree Farm, then Kellerhaus, for 20 years and were instrumental in the beginnings of the bed and breakfast movement in Carlisle and charter members of the Cumberland Valley Bed and Breakfast Association. We regret so much that Joe passed away late last winter. It was wonderful having his family stay with us and reminisce about the farm. We certainly feel blessed to have found the farm and hope we carried it on in a tradition they would approve of.

Just a little over a month until the first annual Cumberland Valley Bed and Breakfast Holiday House Tour to benefit Project Share. Sunday December 6 from 1-5pm, 9 of our historic B&B's will open their door to the public. Come see the homes dressed in their holiday finest. Some wonderful local musicians and caterers are scheduled to appear at the B&B's. Come out and support a great cause and take a step back in time. Any guest staying at Fallen Tree Farm that weekend will receive two complimentary tickets to the house tour as part of the stay.

Wedding season has come to a close. We wish the four wonderful couples who were married here this season all the best and hope they will take time to celebrate their anniversaries with us in the coming years:
Congrats to Windy and Jason, Richelle and Josh, Rebecca and Mark and Kim and Etzer.
We had a really fun and interesting guest stay with us last week. Don Abney of
Abney Catahoulas was here for a week of canine tracker training with York County Dog Training Club. Don has literally written the book on canine tracker training "The Canine Tracking Guide". While staying with us he broke Sully of his sometime overly effusive greeting habit. Sully now manages to greet us and our guests in a nice pleasant "sit". We really enjoyed Don's stories with regards to his dogs. We( Sully, Sebastien and all us humans) were sad to see him head back to Louisianna. For more information on the amazing Catahoulas check out Don's website www.donabney.com

Don was kind enough to pose for a photo with his newest trainee and fan, Sullivan.
