Horseshoe Garden Frog Meadow New England's Best All Male Gay Resort in Southern Vermont

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.

Guest Reviews

Amazing Peace and Relaxation

I chose this bed & breakfast primarily based on location and being gay-friendly & gay-owned. Upon arriving, I was totally blown away! I was immediately made to feel welcome by the hosts. I was amazed at how immaculate the building is kept. It is quite obviously a labor of love for both Dave and Scott.

I can’t remember the last time I have been so relaxed. I came to Vermont for a business meeting and decided to make Frog Meadow my “home base”. I was able to relax in the hot tub both before and after the meeting. It really didn’t feel like a business trip, it was more like a mini vacation.

I am ready, as soon as my calendar permits, to go back and spend more time here. This is truly a way to get away from it all!
