"What I love most about the Writers Colony at Dairy Hollow is the creative spirit that dwells here. The spirit is one of individualistic expression, craft, creativity, art - which is what makes the Writers Colony at Dairy Hollow unique.  Being here is both invigorating and laid-back, an experience the Colony fosters by providing time and space and sustenance to do the work I am called to do. Even though I am a writer, it's difficult to find the words to describe what this lace means to me, the effect it has on me."

"I enjoyed a hugely creative and productive time at the Writers Colony at Dairy Hollow, revising an entire 435 page novel in a little over a month.

"The current Colony grounds and building are a quaint spot with an interesting history.  I was curious to know all about the original farm house, the first bed & breakfast, the Colony itself, and how it is expanding its current location.  The Colony House has good vibrations in its bones.  I felt creative energy in the space itself, the views, the rooms, the flowers abounding. The food was fantastic.

"I was here for PoetLuck and thought it was a great success.  People were very receptive to my reading and I was impressed by the local talent."

"There is something magical and magnetic about this place . .  .it seems to draw pen to paper even, and especially, when the writer least expects it."
