Outside you will find a lovely garden full of treasures in raised beds, a grape arbor, outdoor grilling and dining areas, a plethora of outbuildings and barns, walking trails through the fields, the woods and down to the river. The horses will greet you, the chickens will check you out and the goats will wander over to inspect. Don't worry, they're all fenced. In the summer, our guests have access to our pool and poolhouse located about 500 yards away. You may also find blackberries, raspberries, apples, peaches, pears and cherries - depends on your timing.
