Canoe or kayak the lazy Nezinscot River for an hour, or take the full day, and we will pack you a picnic lunch to enjoy on your adventure. Canoes and kayaks are provided free of charge to our guests.
We have a full recreation area with all kinds of games - volleyball, horseshoes, bocce ball, corn hole and badminton!
Bird enthusiasts will delight in the varied species we have on the farm and along the river.

Guest access
Your nightly rate includes a full breakfast served each morning between 7am and 9am; use of the barn, canoes and kayaks, and recreational equipment; and free high-speed Internet access.
There are no cooking facilities on site as we are not a campground. Breakfast is served as part of your stay and lunch/dinner can be purchased on site or we are happy to make restaurant suggestions for you.
Our Farm to Table dinners are served in our historic barn and are very popular, especially on the weekends. Reservations are required so please contact us before your arrival if you are interested in dining with us.
Our cabins and the bathhouse are powered by off grid solar so please do not bring box fans, coffee makers, hair dryers, etc. We provide a fan in each cabin and tent, and a hair dryer in each bathroom that are right sized to the system.
We provide lanterns and a battery charger pack in the glamping tents.
