If guests are traveling during the winter, there are numerous places to ski or snowshoe nearby. The Adirondacks are only a short drive away, ideal for a day trip with the whole family. In addition, Cooperstown is also close, which features the National Baseball Hall of Fame, as well as many places to eat and drink.

On-site, after swimming in the river, glampers can bike around the property or play outdoor yard games. At night, adults can sit out by the fire and enjoy a glass of wine, while the kids make s'mores and tell riveting campfire stories. Whatever one needs, this retreat is a reminder of how important time spent with family and friends in the middle of nature is.
