Item Description
2-Nights at the Willow Pond Farm B&B
Located Near the Colchester Reef Lighthouse, at the Shelburne Museum
Secluded on 200 acres of New England pasture, woods, and meadows and surrounded on all sides by working farms, this Shelburne inn offers breathtaking Adirondack and Green Mountain views.
The grounds are exceptional. There are some 20 birdhouses in view, usually populated with nesting tree swallows. A rose garden and beautiful perennial gardens bloom in summer, and yellow clematis vines bloom on the pergola at the end of the wraparound porch.
The Vermont farm borders Shelburne Pond, a haven for wildflowers, birds, and wildlife. Ospreys, pileated woodpeckers, mergansers, bluebirds, wild turkeys, grebes, otters and mink are some of the wildlife that roam the farm where for 4,000 years the Abenaki and Iroquois camped and fished.
Extensive landscaping, ponds, romantic rose and perennial gardens encircle this country home. In fact, Vermont, An Explorer's Guide says "If we had special sections for birders and gardeners, Sawyer and Zita Lee's elegant home would top both lists." The house, set among apple trees, looks down on a smaller three-acre private pond which affords a view of the great blue heron, nesting ducks, and other aquatic life.
Willow Pond Farm is an ideal place for hiking and strolling through the gardens, or you can just sit back and enjoy the view from the terrace and situated only ten minutes from Shelburne.
