Winter Activities

X Country Ski, Snowshoe, and now Snowbikes too!

With the popularity of our trails, lit loops and adjacent VASA Pathway, we have made many neighborhood friends that we see exclusively in the wintertime. In addition to local residents, many “downstaters” are finding that our grounds make for a perfect “Up North” winter weekend. Our cozy lodge with fireplace and outdoor, circular fireplace often see guests mingling, warming their toes and enjoying a cup of cocoa. Guests also enjoy skiing, snowshoeing or snowbiking right up to their cottage, which are heated and open year round.
