Moon In The Pond Farm

Adjacent to the sites there are dirt roads to hike, as well as numerous marked trails linking into the famous, long-distance Appalachian Trail (10 minutes (10 minutes’ drive). A scenic hiking trail starts at Roger and Virginia Drury Preserve (five minutes’ walk), with a boardwalk leading through forest that’s home to blue herons and bobcats. As well as being a hiking hotspot, the neighbourhood offers up canoeing, kayaking, swimming, rock climbing and country-road biking, all within a 20-minutes drive. In winter, you can try your hand at snowshoeing on cross-country trails and downhill skiing at Catamount Mountain Resort (20 minutes). And for a change of pace – if you’re into antiques, then be sure to explore all the stores in Sheffield (five minutes), where you can pick up pre-loved silverware, picture frames and decorative furniture. For an extra dose of culture, get tickets for outdoor concerts at Jacob’s Pillow (45 minutes) or take a tour of Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum (40 minutes).
