The Bobcat Cafe, Snaps, Cubbers Pizza, and several local markets as well as chain pharmacy and supermarket. Also within an Hours Drive are many options and activities. Farms, Middlebury College, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen ski resorts, rivers and Creeks for kayaking. fishing, and boating and white water.

We are often used as a stop on the way or a staging area along the trails. Massage Therapists available upon request. However the real beauty of this place is to just sit and relax and enjoy the community. Guest access Guests are welcome to use outdoor Porches, gardens and yard. Indoors the Music room, Gathering room and kitchen are available too. During your stay While we love to host guests we also respect their privacy and how you will reciprocate. We are always available for any questions you may have but we do appreciate our privacy as I am certain you, the guests, do as well. Other things to note Number of Guests: While the room can accommodate up to 5 guests we only provide bedding for 2. Please bring bedding for extra guests. Hot water does come but it take a few minutes to get from one end of the house to the other. This causes pressure issues so while the pressure stays the same, cold water shocks come through on occasion. We are in process of getting a new heating system but this will take time.
