The Equestrian Center, open until November 1, caters to the experienced horseman as well as the novice rider. Guests can enjoy guided trail rides on horseback with breathtaking views, lessons in English or Western, and more. The Resort’s private beach has kayaks, canoes, and scenic pontoon boat rides on the lake (weather permitting).  For the avid outdoorsman, clay bird shooting, hiking and mountain biking are all on site...as are tennis, croquet or strolling country roads...and many beautiful golf courses are within a short drive.  The Resort has easy access to the Long Trail for those who prefer a more challenging hike.  And a variety of local attractions are within a short drive…watch glass-blowing at Simon Pearce, local artists display at the Chaffee Art Center, antiquing in Brandon, shopping in Woodstock, pumpkin and apple picking, cider making, and craft fairs are just some of the fun fall ideas to enjoy.

Winter is a wonderland, with the popular Nordic Ski & Snowshoe Center, one of the oldest in the United States, offering 60 kilometers of trails for classic and skate skiing, back country and snowshoeing for all levels. Ice skating, sledding, dog sled rides, snowmobile tours and horse drawn sleigh rides with our Clydesdales complete the Vermont winter adventure. Then relax with an invigorating massage or sip hot cocoa by a roaring fire.

Dining options are varied from soups and salads, burgers and Vermont brewed beers; or savor the flavor of the ever changing Chef’s Menu which brings the freshest, seasonal tastes of Vermont to your table every evening.
