Item Description
Fairwinds Farm and Stables is a bed and breakfast that is the perfect spot in Cecil County for a country getaway. Spend the night at this Victorian inn with its charming rooms and delicious breakfasts. It also has stables... should you choose to take a trail ride or bring your horse. Your dog can come along for a little vacation too on these 52 beautiful acres nestled in Maryland horse country.
The fascinating story of this B&B is told by the owners of Fairwinds in their book Bed, Breakfast & Beyond, and the winning bidder will also receive an autographed copy of the book. In September of 1998, Ted and JoAnn Dawson purchased the property to fulfill their lifelong dream of owning a bed & breakfast. Little did they know what they were getting themselves into!
Restoring a filthy, dilapidated, nearly condemned Victorian house to a charming and welcoming country inn while raising two rowdy young boys was only the first of their challenges. Dealing with shady former owners, a string of ghostly events, and a wide variety of colorful guests opened their eyes to a whole new world.
With the fortitude and life lessons born of years on a dairy farm, the rare good fortune of choosing the perfect partner in life, and a boatload of humor thrown in to preserve their sanity, they have managed to keep Fairwinds Farm B&B running for nearly 20 years, 15 years longer than the average B&B in the U.S.
