The Farmhouse Under the Nose is surrounded by 80 acres of DEC-protected land and next to a popular DEC-managed hiking trail, Vroman's Nose. Wildlife such as deer and wild turkeys are known to wander along the back edge of the property in the early mornings. Guests enjoy the walk across the field to the right of the house (roughly 100 yards) to the trailhead making daily sunrise and sunset hikes easy and enjoyable. Park use is free.

The property is also the home of Farmhouse Floral Design (FFD) located next door. The grounds are seasonally filled with flower gardens created, managed, and used by FFD. Guests enjoy roaming the property, taking in the sights and smells of freshly grown flowers. Fresh-cut flowers are added to the house for each guest's stay and are available for purchase at the floral shop during hours of operation.

A creek running alongside the property is the home of several blue herring and a few wood ducks. Cardinals, chickadees, barn swallows, squirrels, chipmunks, and more greet guests most mornings, and lightning bugs twinkly most nights on the wood's edge.
