"The common spaces are numerous and ample, offering everything from play spaces for pre-schoolers to quiet corners for adult conversation. The furnishings and decor reflect a sophisticated, almost Scandinavian, sense of style - lots of natural wood, a great mix of contemporary and more traditional furniture."

Outdoor Spaces

The Pond

A peaceful, spring-fed pond is popular spot to look for frogs in the spring, and turtles in the fall. There is a little bridge that leads to the island in the center.

The Backyard

A private and expansive backyard area spills down from the patio, and provides ample space for kids to run, toss the ball around, or sit beside the fire pit.

The Barnyard

We are happy to schedule a private goat "hang out" session for you and your family/friends. This is a casual, intimate, and truly unique and unforgettable experience. Goats are affectionate, funny, and splendid to look at.

Ice Skating

When the conditions are right, our beaver pond becomes the most incredible ice skating experience in all of New England. Our smaller pond near the Farmhouse can also be skated on, and more reliably.

sledding

Great sledding exists on farm, especially for little ones.

Alpine Skiing

Stratton is our family's go-to mountain come winter, but we are also between 30-40 minutes from a number of other alpine ski destinations, including Mt. Snow, Bromley, Magic Mountain, and Okemo.

Nordic Skiing

One can enjoy trailblazing trails on farm with backcountry skis, but there are also excellent nordic centers offering groomed trails nearby, including Grafton Ponds, Wild Wings, Brattleboro Outing Club, and Stratton Nordic Center.

The Fields

We have 130 acres, including many fields of wildflowers and grazing animals. The variety of birds, bees, and wildlife is breathtaking come summer.

Snowshoeing

We have several sets of adult and child-sized snowshoes for those of you who wish to explore the wintry terrain right here on the farm without having to drive to an outdoor center.

"The farm animals were a huge hit with my children, and the surrounding area made for great walks and exploration."
