Winter celebration and solitude at Whispering Willows Farm

Winter is a time of crisp, quiet and joyful rest at Whispering Willows Farm, and
it is an inspiring place to plan a grand Christmas and New Year Celebration or a post holiday time of quiet rejuvenation.

When you are a guest at the Farm you have acres and acres of property available for your outdoor recreation, rest, and enjoyment of the property’s tranquility.

Come walk the Pond and Creek Paths, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the peacefulness of walking, snow shoeing, or cross-country skiing among the hayfield knolls or the meandering creek and the mature forest. Experience the quiet solitude of the Norwegian Pine Trail only then to be surrounded by the warmth of the pellet stove in the living room each evening after watching a beautiful sunset. Enjoy the Farm while it is at winter rest.

The flavors of a grand meal prepared in our Epicurean Kitchen, and the continued warmth of the pellet stove in the living room await you as you complete a full day and settle in with your favorite evening libation.

If you seek more challenging activities bring your sled or toboggan and give them a try on our hillsides or enjoy the exhilarating Toboggan Slide in Eagle's Mere. https://www.eaglesmeretobogganslide.com/index.html

Recreate, rest and restore. At the end of the evening step outside on a clear night and marvel at the thousands of twinkling stars.

Sleep well through the night on our premium king and queen beds and enjoy our 400 sq. ft. 1st floor Master Bedroom with private bath and sitting area which provides easy access for persons with limited mobility and its own private views of the westward sunsets.
