We are an all male establishment, as allowed by Vermont State Statute Title 9, Commerce and Trade, Chapter 139, Discrimination in Public Accommodations, section (d). Our customers are primarily gay, bi and trans men, but all men are welcome.

Unregistered Visitors

For the safety and security of our guests and staff, unregistered visitors are not permitted on property at any time without prior notification and consent of the owners. Any unregistered guests must be known previously by the registered guest inviting them for a minimum of one year. Absolutely no persons met on a dating site such as Grindr or Scruff for the purpose of “hooking up” will be allowed. Failure to comply with this policy or to misrepresent the relationship with the invited unregistered guest will result in the immediate expulsion of all parties involved and the outstanding balance for all nights booked will be charged to the card on file.

Please note that we do not offer facility tours.

Handicap Accessibility

Unfortunately, we are not at all wheelchair accessible. There are multiple steps to enter the Main House and other buildings and none of our rooms are on the first floor. The entrance to the B&B is also by stairs. Our B&B is not wheelchair accessible. Bathroom facilities for our guests use do not contain handicap faucets. None of our bathrooms have a curbless shower. We built Frog Meadow as our home in 1995 and never considered that we might one day be a B&B, otherwise we certainly would have done things differently. If we do not meet your accessibility needs, there is a gay-owned motel 12 minutes away (The Lodge at West River www.lodgevt.com) in Newfane and we will help you in any way possible to find lodging that will meet your needs.

We are committed to making all of our web content, including electronic and information technology, accessible to everyone. To ensure that we meet or exceed the requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the 1998 Amendment to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, we continually review our website in order to remove accessibility problems for people with disabilities. While our commitment to accessibility includes making web content accessible, this is a work in progress. If you have a problem accessing or using any of our website, please contact us at 877.365.7242 or by email at info@frogmeadow.com.

Special Dietary Requirements/Food Allergies

Please let us know at time of your booking if you have any special dietary requirements or food allergies (e.g. vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) and we will do our best to accommodate you. We do our best to respond to guests’ food allergies, food sensitivities and vegetarians, but generally cannot 100% accommodate paleo/keto, etc. requests. During summer season, there is a hospitality cabana with fridge, so please feel free to pack snacks.

Kitchen Privileges

We do not offer Kitchen Privileges owing to licensing and insurance compliance. During summer season, there is a hospitality cabana with microwave, fridge/freezer, ice and barware exclusively for guest use.

Camping

We do not offer camping or campsites although there is a wonderful men-only campground nearby in Hinsdale, NH called MountainSide owned by two wonderful guys named David & Michael. You can find out more about camping at MountainSide here.
