Vermont's peaceful beauty is unique in the Northeast.
It is a place where farm fields still roll right up to the edge of
villages and where lofty mountains and crystal clear lakes are everyday
companions. Located in the heart of Central Vermont’s Green Mountain
National Forest we offer a great getaway with overnights at an country inn
with numerous facilities and superb dining - steeped in the finest New
England tradition.
Enjoy the spectacular property as you walk, trot or canter through serene
mountain pastures, over miles of wooded trails and by untouched lakes and
ponds. Enjoy the lush, green canopy of spring, the flowering country
fields of summer and the brilliant colors of autumn’s foliage on
guided trail rides. Experienced rider or new in the saddle, the
professional instructors will help you to improve your riding ability –
English or Western. Serious riders can also take advantage of
Jumping, Dressage and Introduction to Cross
Country instruction and clinics.
We can tailor a personalized riding vacation to suit your needs and
ability level, making it as varied and intensive as desired. Each day can
be fully booked with riding and lessons, or be a more leisurely day of
part- time riding and full- time relaxing. In addition to the stables, the
resort’s numerous facilities include tennis, swimming, boating, kayaking,
canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, massage services, clay bird shooting, fly
fishing, nearby golf…or just simply enjoying the breathtaking vista from a
comfortable chair.
