Visited the farms based on the reviews everywhere on the internet and wasn’t disappointed ! The property is huge and offers miles of trails where you can either interact with animals , watch maple trees tapped or marvel at the beautiful inn and the barn . I must say I think the farm offers the best view of the lake . Be prepared to spend at least three hours when visiting to truly enjoy the views offered by the farm .

The historic site is so scenic overlooking the lake. It is well marked. There are some nice trails around the property and walking across the bridge gives you some great views.

Rent a kayak or a canoe from Charlie for a paddle on the beautiful Winooski River, then on your return have a cool beverage and a chat with Charlie and his cool beagle. Just great old time fun. This place is frozen in time (~ a solid 60 years ago). Walk around for a view of an earlier time. It's nice to know places like this and people like Charlie are still around. Its right off the Burlington bike path,,,,just under 4 miles from downtown.
