As stewards of the Hemlock Family Farmstead, established in 1846, owners are deeply committed to preserving its rich history while creating a peaceful oasis. They have cultivated colorful cottage-style gardens interspersed with charming
spaces that evoke feelings of a bygone era.
The picturesque views are enhanced by woodland meadows, wetlands, and tranquil ponds.

The Bonniwell house, featuring wood, glass, and stone with a metal roof, was built in 2004 and overlooks a large, landscaped pond stocked with fish. The manicured landscape is less structured as it reaches the existing woods that consist of maple, birch, hickory, and oak. Over the years the following were added to this 6-acre property: the vegetable garden, the woodland paths, the perennial collections, and, in 2022, the pickleball court.

Nestled in the tranquil embrace of nature, Dawn and Steve's gardens and prairie are a testament to their love of nature and Dawn's passion for gardening. What was once an empty farm field more than a quarter century ago has blossomed into a captivating haven. Today it boasts 71⁄2 acres of prairie cultivated by Dawn and Steve. Their hard work alone has molded the 12-acre landscape into a symphony of hardscape, gardens, and prairie.
