Maple syrup comes right off the mountain in the back of the building and is used in almost every item on the menu. I recommend the maple ice cream sandwich, year round.

Tipps für Reisende

Was einpacken?

Bathing suits and other water toys

Fresh, clean lakes and streams abound in every direction.
Mit Kindern reisen

Huge park and playground not in plain site

Travel south from the house on route 102 for about 400ft. down a slight hill and look on your right. The Canaan town recreational park has a basketball court, tennis courts, an exercise course/walking loop and playground structures.
