Historic Estates

Billings Farm is a working dairy farm with an award-winning herd, a museum of Victorian farm life, and a lovingly restored farm manager's house.

The Calvin Coolidge Homestead is the most authentically restored Presidential birthplace in the country.

The home of Saint Gaudens, one of America's pre-eminent sculptors, contains over 100 samples of the artist's work, surrounded by lush landscaping and sweeping vistas.

The Rockefeller Mansion, circa 1805, is filled with Victorian furnishings, custom Tiffany windows and a large collection of fine art with environmental themes.

Most estates are open May through October.

Public Gardens
Gardeners can explore three public plantings: Carrie Brown's cherished perennial garden at the Calvin Coolidge Homestead; Billings Farm's Victorian flower and vegetable gardens; and the carefully landscaped grounds at the Rockefeller Estate where nearly a century of garden history under the influence of forest conservation is presented.

Fishing & Canoeing
Fishing and canoeing expeditions can be arranged through a local outfitter, Wilderness Trails

Kid Stuff

Ben & Jerry's Factory, is 1.5 hours away by car and offers guided tours and tastes of new flavors not yet available to the public.

Montsire Museum of Science, is a hands-on science museum with a network of walking trails.

Vermont Institute of Natural Science, is an educational center devoted to birds of prey such as bald eagles, peregrine falcons and snowy owls.

Hiking
Five stunning hiking sites are within 20 minutes of the Inn. One descends to the floor of a mini-Grand Canyon, one peaks in a panoramic overview of Woodstock village and surrounding farm land. All offer peaceful relaxation and escape from city crowds and noise. Details are available in our info center. The Farmer's Market and the Village Butcher can provide exotic snacks, so bring a backpack or fanny pack along.

Shorter strolls (a couple of miles in length) along country roads are an option from our front door.

Horseback Riding
The Kedron Valley Stables, is within walking distance and offers guided trail rides and carriage or wagon rides. All of their events wind out of the valley on back roads ascending to gorgeous scenery.

Their rides are approximately an hour long, include a guide, and cost $45 per person. Advance reservations are a must, especially in late summer and fall. Serious equestrians can bring their own horses and board them at the stables.

For more information, call (802) 457-1480.

Swimming and Sunning
Our spring-fed, chemical-free private pond is the place to be in warm weather. It's 1½ acres in size, with a big beach at the shallow end complete with sand toys, inner tubes and life guard, and a quiet adults-only beach at the deep end. Comfortable loungers and a sunning float in the middle make the whole experience irresistible. Casual swimmers paddle out to the float, rest and return. Serious swimmers love to log the distance around the perimeter snatching glimpses of blue sky and puffy clouds with each breath.

Biking
Our lovely scenery and winding roads are quite appealing to bikers. Routes for both road bikes and hybrid bikes abound. Mountain bikers can ride either their bikes or the chairlift up Killington Mountain and ride their bikes down.

For information on bike rentals, see Biscuit Hill in Woodstock or call (804) 457-3377.
