Extraordinary Experiences!
For those who like to keep their body and mind active our extraordinary experiences will let you do just that!
Named one of the top “outdoorsy” states in the U.S., Vermont attracts everyone from the mountain adventurer to the tranquility seeker and everyone in between. So at our Resort we try to match a variety of activities with a diversity of interest.
Mountain Biking Mecca
Several years ago we began to expand the Mt. Peg trails above the golf course for mountain biking. This network of pedal power trails winds through beautiful woods and peaks of the Green Mountains showing amazing vistas overlooking the valley. Last year we launched our Suicide Six Bike Park to answer the demand of this exciting way to ride. Lift-access mountain biking combines scenic views with handlebar-gripping adrenaline. This year we refined our programming and invite you and the whole family to experience our perfect blend of beginner-friendly tracks and expert level berms and jumps. The Bike Park not only offers custom crafted trails for all abilities, but also a strider park for kids, and a skills development area to build confidence. Lessons, rentals and camps are available. Chill and take a rest or just hang out in our Hammock Lounge with the latest craft beer and eats.
Handle Birds of Prey
New England Falconry is now in its 5th season and the birds of prey are ever so beautiful and available for you to hold. This was once a way for people to gather food for dinner, utilizing the birds as their method to retrieve game for the table. Today, we simply enjoy the wonderment of these amazing species as they fly to and from our hand. Our Falconers have great knowledge of the history of the sport and the birds — they can’t wait to share it. The combination of education and flying experience makes this activity a joy. Experience the featherweight of our Harris’s Hawks, Lanner Falcons, and Barn Owl at our Rutherford barn and field.
