Experiences

Something for every season

Do everything or do nothing at all. Our front desk can arrange any of these with a day's notice.

At the house

Ways to spend the day

Wander 400 heritage apple trees with our orchardist, then press your own cider in the barn.

Three hours with Chef Samuel cooking over the open fire, followed by lunch at the long table.

A wood-fired sauna by the pond, with robes, a cold plunge and herbal tea. Private sessions of 90 minutes.

Half-day hikes at Olana, Poets' Walk or the Catskill escarpment, with a packed lunch from the Larder.

Mention it when you book, or ask the front desk once you arrive.
