Detail from the Horseshoe Garden to the west of the Main House

Frog Meadow is located on the site of the Wheeler Farm, a 1700’s dairy farm and apple orchard that borders historic Newfane Village’s original mountaintop site atop Newfane Hill.

Our extensive perennial and annual gardens, varietal apple orchard, fruit and vegetable gardens are pollinated by our active beehives, butterflies, hummingbirds and bats who also call Frog Meadow their home.

In addition, owls, hawks, songbirds, wild turkeys, pileated woodpeckers, otters, deer, the occasional moose – and of course, our many species of frogs – share their wonderful habitat with our guests. We have identified over 100 different varieties of birds at Frog Meadow (including Tuvu, Tuti, Robin, Red-Eyed Vireo, Cedar Waxwing, Indigo Bunting, Chestnut-Sided Warbler, Tru Swallow, Thrush, Hawk, Chickadee, Crow, Raven, Goldfinch, Wren, Phoebe, Nuthatch, Hairy Woodpecker, Song Sparrow, Yellowthroat, Chimmney Swift, Pewee, Overbird, Chipping Sparrow, Winter Wren)!

Explore Frog Meadow’s gardens and plantings by taking a walkabout tour or relaxing on one of our many stone benches, Adirondack chairs, chaise lounges or the hammock by the swimming pond.

“An Exceptional Place!”

We decided to spend a few days at Frog Meadow to rest, and we were not disappointed!

Scott and Dave welcomed us with professionalism at all times, but also with warmth and generosity. The rooms are spotlessly clean. We shared the bathroom, but that was no problem – we took most of our showers in the garden’s hot-and-cold outdoor shower!

A true happiness! The place was a tad more nudist than we thought, which was not displeasing to us at all…the atmosphere is very relaxed.

Breakfast is outstanding and plentiful. Dave is an outstanding cook and offered a new menu each day: pancakes, French toast, waffles, omelets…if the idea of ​​a breakfast other than the traditional bread-butter-jam ails you, do know! As a bonus, hummingbirds sometimes came to greet us at breakfast time.

The European guests and American guests who were staying with us at the time did not understand quite why we rejoiced as we did, as we were a little worried regarding other meals, since the nearest village is 15 minutes away and the town of Brattleboro half an hour away. In fact, it was no problem! There is a good take-out restaurant in Newfane (incredible for such a small town!) And a farm stand that offers very good fresh local produce. One can easily whip up a nice meal there which is then eaten on the terrace…or one can also purchase enough things for a picnic.

The nearby small town of Brattleboro is quite surprising for the United States, with a downtown “to the European” where there are several very good restaurants. On the way, the local distillery and the cheese factory are definitley worth visiting. Vermont is a state where we know good cheer!

One tip – ask Scott to show you “the big lake on the other side of the hill” (which surely must have a name, but we forgot). Aside from Frog Meadow’s own swimming pond, this is also a beautiful place to swim a few minutes from Frog Meadow!
