Set amidst the abundant and breathtaking beauty of 58 acres of century old rhododendron, endless trees, and luxuriant grounds, every season is a whole new reason to hike, saunter, bicycle, ski or snowshoe though one of New England’s most perfect verdant reserves: nearby Steeprock Reserve with its thousands of acres as well as its spectacular Shepaug River.

Those interested in less arduous pleasures, will find a late afternoon stroll amidst the unmistakable luxury, tranquility and beauty of our great lawn, contemplative Shakespeare Garden and the meandering paths of our American Poetry Maze also offers rich rejuvenation.
