Welcome to Marydale! Marydale is our dream place. Part of it is reality and part still a dream. With acres of sunshine and a big red barn, it's an ideal retreat from the rush of city life and represents all that is tranquil and good. We promote health and happiness while enjoying a glimpse of the good life and relaxation in our comfortable rooms. Marydale Inn was originally the Feurt Farm. Dale and Mary-Jo bought it in the '80's. Dale is from Blackfoot, Idaho. Mary-Jo is from Mt. Vernon, New York and Brookfield, Connecticut. Marydale Inn is half way between both of their families. Dale graduated from high school in London, England. He and Mary-Jo met over a chemistry problem at Boston College. The chemistry was right, and they married in 1974. After getting his MBA in Boston, Dale and Mary-Jo lived in Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Kansas, Utah, Mexico, Peru, Connecticut, China, and now Missouri! We have four children and 8 grandchildren to date. Would you rather live in the country or in the summer? Our dream will include homegrown produce and products available both in the country and in the summer. Sunrise can begin with feeding the animals and then working in the gardens. The barnyard animals, gardens, orchards and berry patches can all be explored at leisure. There can be seen wild turkey and deer drinking at the ponds with catfish and bass. Come to Marydale - Dale Christensen Come to Marydale and now celebrate With us the great life, so why hesitate?

Our "Marydale Inn Farm Animal Family". Rusty and Jose (Enrique Calderon), our very faithful dogs, are our guest greeters. Jose has 9 lives. Just ask and we'll tell you about them. They also take turns sleeping in front of every door to protect you. (None of our pets, as wonderful as they are, ever enter the house.) Oreo and Alexandra had 3 kittens, Brigham, Parley, and Olivia. Their family adopted our beautiful Gemma. Our cows are Sweet Pea (some of you remember bottle feeding her), Eva, our beautiful Jersey, her calf, Stew, our Jersey/Black Angus cross, Cleo or Matty (depending on if you ask Dale or Mary-Jo), and Roaney, a Texas Longhorn, who is our guest to keep Eva company. Eva comes running when Dale whistles. She loves him and he loves her. |
