In most cases we do provide all meals during our workshops.

Guest Reviews

Don’t hesitate to spend some time here!

We were celebrating our 14 years of being together, and we wanted to find something intimate but relaxing and not the frenetic pace of many gay meccas….we found it at Frog Meadow!

Meticulous attention to detail, sublime pristine rural setting and attentive hosts. Accommodations were spotless and well equipped, breakfast with homemade honey and jams, wood fired soaking tub and of course a first class massage to get the stress out.

Don’t hesitate to spend some time here!
