Choose Your Own Path

You might hike up to a picnic with a Green Mountains view, paddle a canoe across our own nine-acre pond, or carve fresh tracks into the resort’s private slopes. Stroll through the garden and guess which veggies will appear at dinner tonight. Or bend your mind trying to fit pieces into a Stave puzzle.

The activities below are organized by season and can be explored independently or as a guided experience with other guests. And if you can’t find your favorite activities on Twin Farms property, a full slate of experiences beckon just a few miles away.

WELLNESS SPRING, SUMMER & FALL
WINTER

Spring, Summer & Fall

Archery & Axe Throwing

Archery & Axe Throwing

Improve your aim — or work out some aggression — at our range by the ski warming hut. For safety reasons, this activity is not available unsupervised.

Bicycling

Bicycling

Our fleet of cruisers, hardtails, and pedal-assist mountain bikes makes Twin Farms and the surrounding area your kingdom, regardless of ability or energy level. Explore our network of multi-use trails on a mountain bike. Take a hybrid cruiser nine miles down the road to Woodstock. Or conquer any hill with a pedal-assist, whose electric motor boosts your own pedal power. They range up to 50 miles, so there’s plenty of terrain to explore — and viewpoints to gawk at.

Canoeing, Kayaking & Paddleboarding

Canoeing, Kayaking & Paddleboarding

What could be more romantic than a private twilight paddle across our own Copper Pond? Or head 1.5 miles down the road to Silver Lake, where our mini-fleet of boats awaits.

Hiking

Hiking

The verdant forest invites exploring, whether moderate or strenuous. We’ve been restoring our miles of manicured trails, adding stone steps, new trail markings, supply stations, map kiosks, even a few picnic platforms with views of the mountains.

Lawn Games

Lawn Games

Fancy a game of croquet, bocce, or cornhole? All three are set up on the lawn next to the Main House — the perfect way to start a casual cocktail hour.

Picnics

Picnics

If you can imagine a picnic setting worthy of Chef Rich’s creations, we can deliver it. Sandwiches at the ski summit, charcuterie by the pond, canapés on the trail? Any and all are included in your stay.

Swimming

Swimming

Enjoy a refreshing dip in Copper Pond. You might have it all to yourself!

Tennis & Pickleball

One hard court for tennis and four pickleball courts are located next to the Farmhouse at Copper Hill and the adjacent pond. Rackets and balls included.

Puzzles, Games and Reading

Puzzles, Games and Reading

Chess, checkers, and other games provide quiet entertainment in every corner. If you’re up to the challenge, try adding a few pieces to a maddening Stave Puzzle — like no other jigsaw you’ve ever done. Our diverse selection of classics and best-sellers will help you rediscover the joy of holding a book in your hand.

Fat-Tire Biking

Fat-Tire Biking

Can’t wait for the thaw? Those chunky tires grip snow and ice and make biking our groomed cross-country trails a (sometimes challenging) winter adventure.

Ice Fishing

Ice Fishing

Fish don’t sleep through the winter, and neither should you. We will drill holes in the ice, set you up with the right gear, and let you at ‘em in a historic way of fishing while you learn all the ins and outs to a great fun and fast-paced pastime.

Ice Skating

Ice Skating

We provide the skates and hot toddies, you bring the laughter. Our mini Zamboni smooths the ice on Copper Pond — as close to an ice rink as you can get in the forest.

Sledding

Sledding

Yes, we have sleds. And no, they’re not just for kids! Start slow, then work your way up to luge-like speeds. Helmets are required — but trudging back uphill isn’t, thanks to the Viking UTV.
