Food service commence and the flavors, plating and offerings were tantalizing, creative and sumptuous. The public areas are conducive for meetings and gatherings. The sleeping areas are close quarters in some rooms and spacious in others. Bedding is incredibly comfy, assuring a good night's rest. There are plenty of bathrooms and are fully stocked with Flourish Apothecaries. Jenny, the house lab is in the house (if you have allergies, she can stay home) providing love and hugs. The hot tub outside is a wonderful spot to relax and recharge. Tesha and Marissa treated us like family. They went the extra mile, insuring the weekend flowed. The yoga room was inviting and serene. I seriously miss GC and will be back.

The Inn is a beautiful 4700 SQ foot, tastefully-appointed venue with comfy sofas, fireplace, ultra modern spacious kitchen and numerous bedrooms and bathrooms. The water throughout the house is purified, so both drinking water and shower water are chlorine-free. There's a hot tub (didn't know or would have brought a bathing suit), yoga/dance studio and lots of space to relax. You can rent rooms (I was in the shared loft which is a large room with 12 cozy beds and two bathrooms-I only had one roommate, so it was even more spacious). Next to our room was the living room loft, a cozy bedroom/living room area with its own TV. The dining room can seat 20 easily. The house has free wifi and free long distance and voicemail, which comes in handy as the area doesn't get cell reception-but you're on vacation, so it's nice to disconnect if you want to. The owner Tesha is a delight and she makes sure your stay is the very best. She owns a van that can get you around if you hire her to do so. Only 10 minutes from Killington and Okemo resorts, this is a great place to rest your bones after a day on the slopes. The quaint town of Woodstock is within 45 minutes as are Middlebury College and other unique VT areas of interest such as cheese factories, cider mills, etc. Note: this is not a B&B. If you are renting with friends/family, you can cook your meals or eat at one of the local area restaurants within a 10-minute drive. If you have the money to spend, I highly encourage you to hire Alejandra Ramos (http://www.alwaysorderdessert.com), a personal chef and food blogger/journalist from NYC who will come and spoil you with an eclectic fare of Latin, European, Asian flavors for all tastes and food sensitivities. She was our chef this past weekend and the meals were all gluten free, with some special egg and dairy free delights for some of the other visitors in the group. I'll be back for the skiing, the establishment, and the wonderful people.

Such a great studio! I took a variety of classes and every teacher I had (Christina, Haley, and…read moreCasey) were all so kind and amazing. It is smaller, but freshly renovated/newly opened. It is definitely going to be somewhere I return to whenever I am in the area! The prices there are also very reasonable. As someone that has been to many different kinds of studios I can say I loved this one.

They have classes on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings. I've only attended the Sunday morning class. It starts at 9am and runs for a solid hour and a half. The pace starts out mellow, then builds to the serious poses and then tails off at the end. There's some stuff in the middle that's beyond me at this point, but I still feel comfortable and not pushed past what I'm comfortable with. I find that there's a good mix of routine and new positions in the classes I've attended. As I mentioned previously, I'm a complete novice, but this place is legit.

A beautiful and colorful stay here at Bethel Farm…read more Wonderful people greet you as you arrive, they have more than one house on the property, and we stayed at the one closest to the pond. (Which btw the pond is clean and grea to swim in!!!!). The house was well cared for, and it showed! All wood, clean lines, and had a great open feeling about it. I felt very comfortable right away, and I usually do not always feel that when arriving at a new place to sleep. We were offered little soaps and toiletries to use. The house was very large, and could easily fit more than the 7 in our group. SO! The yoga, THE YOGA!!!! I was only able to take one class, since I was there for a short time but it left an impression on me and I felt great for the rest of the day. The NEXT day I could feel how hard my body worked. The effort and instruction was peaceful yet guiding. I've never felt that way after yoga! The studio itself is beautiful, open and airy with huge windows. A delight to practice in. We we able to help in the garden, tend to the horses, go blueberry picking, swam in the pond, and in a creek a short walk away. Woods surround the Bethel Farm making it truly a place of relaxation. Overall, positive experience, country done perfectly, trees, a haven away from Manhattan. I'll be back with friends for sure!

Nice and quiet, laid back campground. Sites are wooded with some space in-between each site. Full…read morehook ups and I believe tent sites also have water and electric. The owners are amazing and friendly. They have a tiny store that mostly has shirts and some toys. They advertised ice but did not have any. There is an Irving gas station a few miles away that is stocked with great items, beer, wine, etc. They also make cold and hot sandwiches. Tiny playground for kids. Had some swings and a slide. I love that they have a game room with books and games you can take to your site. They placed rubber ducks around the campground and the kids loved finding them during their stay. Not too much going on locally and you would need to travel close to an hour for bigger tourist attractions. All in all, I will definitely return.

It also adjoins a boat launching point across from the parking lot and the US post office at the village, although boats may not be brought into the beach area. The beach also has an area that is tree shaded and a small cove with a tiny beach itself. The main beach area is over an acre, providing for a good space for sun bathing and water sports. It is staffed during the summer with lifeguards During the Covid pandemic, the beach has been restricted to townspeople only to alleviate any crowding and possible infection potential.

We have three very different personalities including one kiddo on the autism spectrum and Jill seems to know just what each person needs. We've had lessons at 3 other stables in 3 different states and Jill is hands down the best. We learn not only what to do but why to do it. She is practical, systematic, and clear. As a homeschooling parent I also love that she teaches life skills and doesn't rush in to help every time but gives kids a chance to figure things out on their own while at the same time knowing when to step in when things are too hard. Her barn is clean, her animals are gentle, and the atmosphere feels safe and welcoming. I would highly recommend it!
