 The
Grounds
As soon as you arrive at Frog Meadow you’ll realize you are
somewhere special. Tall, mature sugar maples frame the southern
view of the surrounding hills. The house sits at the location of
a long gone farmhouse and is surrounded by ancient stonewalls once
used to define property lines and contain sheep. The only sound
you might hear is a lone woodpecker hammering on a basswood tree,
or a pair of owls calling to each other from opposite ends of the
meadow in the evening.
The pond is 12 feet deep and fed by the brook, keeping its water
cool, fresh and clear for swimming. Keep your eyes out for an otter,
often seen racing up the brook in search for food and fun. The quiet
is palpable, comforting and fresh. It invites you to shake off the
accumulations of your everyday existence and accept its embrace.
 Hot
Tub
Warmed by hardwood logs harvested from the surrounding woods, the
hot tub looks over the perennial gardens that seem to be everywhere.
The outdoor shower next to the hot tub is surrounded by native stonework.
There are as many ways to relax at Frog Meadow as there are frogs
in the pond. Take a hot tub, swim or float around the pond on an
inner tube with your friends, make new friends, read a book on the
swing, stroll through the gardens, or do it all and then get a 90
minute massage!
 Meals
All rooms come complete with a full country breakfast prepared by
Dave. Fresh local fruits in season, muffins, bagels, fresh brewed
coffee, eggs made to order, whole-wheat pancakes, waffles and French
toast are all items you might find on the menu. With advance notice
Dave will be happy to accommodate special dietary needs. While lunch
and dinner are not available at Frog Meadow there are many good
restaurants in the area. Scott and Dave will be happy to make recommendations
and assist you in making reservations for dinner if you like. Simple
meals may also be prepared in the Barn Suite.
The Gym
Frog Meadow also has a well-equipped gym room with Olympic free
weights, dumbbells from five to 100 lbs., a stationary bike, Nordic
Trac machine, Pec Dec, and cables for rowing and legwork. One wall
is covered entirely with mirrors, and there is a television with
a DVD player and a shower. Dave likes to watch wrestling videos
while he works out. Ask him nicely and I bet he’ll let you
borrow one.
