Experiences

Days on the estate. Evenings back home.

What to do within the hundred acres, and what is worth the drive.

Outdoors · On the estate

Trails, meadows and the pond

A hundred acres of woods and open ground; morning walks, evening light, a dock to sit on.

Food & drink · 3–13 mi

Hudson Valley farms and cideries

Farm stands, orchards and June Farms are within ten miles; autumn is the season the region is famous for. June Farms runs ticketed nights in winter, so check their calendar.

Culture · 27–30 mi

The Berkshires

Tanglewood, MASS MoCA, Great Barrington and the Appalachian foothills — an easy day out and back.

City · 13–17 mi

Albany and Troy

Restaurants, the Capitol, the riverfront and a real city night if you want one.

Outdoors · 10–25 mi

Lakes and the Taconics

Swimming holes, state parks and hiking in every direction, most of it inside twenty-five miles.

Season · 24–56 mi

Winter

Jiminy Peak at twenty-four miles for a quick day, Catamount at thirty-four, Windham and Hunter for a bigger mountain — then a fire and a full house back home.

A weekend, planned by the people who live here.

Our short guide to the region — the farm stands worth stopping at, which trail for which hour, what to book ahead in the Berkshires. Sent as a PDF, with the seasonal notes we send Circle members.
