One of the greatest joys of being a farm stay host at Blooming Joy Inn is sharing the simple yet profound beauty of our farm with our guests. Every visitor brings a unique perspective, and I delight in seeing the farm through their eyes—whether it’s their first time interacting with sheep and chickens, experiencing the breathtaking grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, or witnessing the northern lights dance across the sky.
There is something truly magical about watching someone pull a fresh carrot from the garden and take a bite, savoring the crisp sweetness that only a just-harvested vegetable can provide. Seeing a guest’s amazement as they absorb the ever-changing light on the mountains, from golden sunrises to fiery sunsets, never gets old. The glaciers remain year-round, a majestic reminder of nature’s endurance, yet the way the light plays on their surface transforms them daily into a new and awe-inspiring spectacle.
I love creating a quiet, nurturing space where guests can immerse themselves in God’s beauty all around them. Some come seeking adventure, eager to explore the rich history and natural wonders of our area, while others seek rest and restoration. Either way, I find joy in tailoring their stay to their needs, making them feel as if they are at their second home. Engaging in heartfelt conversations with guests from all walks of life and corners of the world is one of the most enriching aspects of this journey.
Being a farm stay hostess is both an honor and a responsibility—one I take seriously. It requires thoughtful planning, hard work, and organization, but the rewards far outweigh the effort. The best compliment I can receive is when a guest returns for a second or third visit, knowing they have found a place where they can truly relax and reconnect with the simple but beautiful things in life. Blooming Joy Inn is more than just a place to stay; it is an experience, a memory in the making, and a retreat where weary souls can find refreshment and joy.
