Explore The Property
The 6-acre island has a trail system around the island and a trail that goes down the middle of the island between the Main House and the wedding barn. The island is heavily wooded and has 360 degrees of waterfront. Our favorites are South Beach, Sandy Beach, and West Beach in addition to the Main Beach where the kayaks, canoe and stand-up paddleboards are located. “Wedding Rock” has a nice deck with a VERY scenic view looking north towards the high peaks. We have lawn games; croquet, bocci, and ladder ball. We have a family of Loons that nest on the Island every spring and enchant us with their calls and Bald Eagles that visit regularly. S’mores at the evening fire in the front of the Main House area tradition.
