Guides
Longer pieces on the things people come here to do.
Paddling from the South End
The shallow half of Greenwood Lake is the sheltered half, which makes our end the good end to launch a kayak from — as long as you go before the wind and the wakes get up.
Hiking Trails
Ridge walks, a cliff-ringed pond, and the Appalachian Trail — everything within about twenty minutes of the door.
Trail Finder
Every mapped trail near the house — filter by distance, length and climb, and see where to leave the car.
Wineries & Cideries
The Warwick Valley has more wine, cider and spirits than anywhere its size has any right to — and the good ones are all within half an hour.
The Lake, End to End
Seven miles of water, two states, and two completely different lakes joined in the middle — one of which is under our dock.
Museums & Rainy Days
A zinc mine you go down into, a working ironworks village five minutes away, and the Hall of Fame of American harness racing.
The New Jersey Botanical Garden
Ninety-six acres of formal gardens around a Tudor manor, inside a thousand acres of woodland, twenty minutes from the house — and free to walk into.
Biking
Nine miles of purpose-built singletrack in a former safari park, and a paved rail trail half an hour north.
Trail Running
Four routes with real distance and climb, and an honest word about which of these hills you will end up walking.
