This property is perfect for cooling off in summer, viewing breath-taking foliage in fall, or enjoying the Vermont ski slopes in winter. Our sweeping 400 acres offer you expansive room for outdoor activities.

Activities on the Farm
Great private location for walking, hiking, biking and watching for wildlife. Meander through wild flowers. Walk the farm’s meadows. Explore the pine and maple woodlands. Hike our mountain. Barbeque and enjoy the fire pit under the moonlight.

Get re-acquainted with serenity as you breathe Vermont’s legendary fresh air deeply into your lungs to clear your mind and energize your spirit.

Watch for wildlife. Wild rabbits and families of wild turkeys are likely to march by during the day. Deer come at sunrise and sunset. Listen to owls at night. Foxes are occasional visitors. Like all farms, field mice are present in the fields, but controlled in the house.

In winter, enjoy sledding in the snow on the farm.

Our stay
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was great inside and out. The property is amazing and picturesque. We went sledding right in front of the cabin steps. Good time and lots of laughs.

Amazing Weekend With Friends
We had a great stay in the log cabin. Beautiful and tranquil location. Super easy check in. The cabin was comfortable for 6 adults. Merry Lee our host was great to work with and was very responsive, though we had total privacy during our stay. We cooked out on the grill in the yard and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Wifi and tv worked great, which was great because there was limited cell reception (Bonus!). We would love to stay here again
