A fantastic ride for those who are interested in a tour through the woods on groomed ski trails.

Took a single mobile on the 1 hour mountain safari and it’s a great ride just 3 mobiles following the one instructor and you cover all sorts of terrain over the trip up and down the mountain for a thrill ride

Calvin Coolidge Homestead

Reviewed By Q7912PGdavidr - Wilmington, United States

Been here twice now. Latest time was on September 6,2020. Many of the building are closed because of Covid-19. Plymouth and the Homestead are situated in a beautiful mountain valley. Very good energy flows here. I would recommend waiting to visit until the buildings reopen hopefully soon if Covid permits. The estate does a great job of detailing the Coolidge presidency. Tour guides are very knowledge and the homestead operated with sheep that they will shear in front of visitors and the famous Plymouth cheese store. Old trail brewery not to far away a small jaunt but also closes because of Covid ????

President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site

Reviewed By _revrandy3795 - Bradford, United States

The Coolidge Homestead and grounds were a lot more interesting and enjoyable than I anticipated. I particularly appreciated the fact that the Coolidge home had not changed at all since he was sworn into office there by his father in 1923. Often, when visiting historic sites, the furnishings are approximations of what would have been there. Here, what you see is what was there when Coolidge was alive. The house itself is small, cozy and wonderfully unimpressive. That an American president could come from such a humble place I found to be inspiring and encouraging. The surrounding buildings are also interesting. I particularly appreciated the two barns, which give you a clear glimpse into what it was like to live in rural Vermont in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It should also be noted that this is a beautiful area and a great place for walks. Finally, and certainly for some most importantly, there is the Plymouth Artisan Cheese shop, which was founded by Coolidge's son John. The cheeses are made there and are reputed to be excellent. At least Julie Child thought so! This is a great place to spend a lazy afternoon.

Plymouth Artisan Cheese

Reviewed By bills474 - Grand Rapids, United States

Right on the Calvin Coolidge homestead grounds, this little cheese shop is fun. Cheese made on site is sold, in several different styles and flavors, for a little too much money, but it's really good. I also enjoyed some of the rather unusual snacks and drinks they were selling, like the rhubarb Apple soda. It's a great little shop to buy an unique gift for someone, right on the Coolidge homestead.

This campsite is amazing. Most importantly: it is stunningly beautiful. It is perched on a hill, so many of the sites have a sweeping vista of the Vermont mountains. We upgraded from a tent site to a lean-to and it was an excellent decision. The lean-tos are sturdy, beautifully maintained, and we actually slept in it without a tent! Many hikes are accessible nearby (try out Shrewsbury peak for a challenge!). It is quite remote — there isn’t cell reception here — but all the more beautiful for a real camping experience. The bathrooms and shared amenities at this campsite are very well maintained. Showers and bathrooms are cleaned twice a day and are spotless. Finally, Garecht, the site manager, is wonderful. He was very friendly, ready to help if anything came up, and knowledgeable about the area.
