Go see the horses, cow, pigs, chickens,bunnies... Dint forget to bring carrots for all of them ! Thanks again .. LaLa and BL

Incredibly rude. Called repeatedly, left messages on vm daily for days to try to plan a family…read moreexcursion. They never returned calls. I eventually reached a live person on my third day of trying to book a trail ride for family; they were rude about booking, wouldn't allow an 11 year old experienced rider to ride without a rope led companion horse and said they didn't know if the possibility of rain would affect the ride and whether we'd go out. I guess they're too busy for "tourists".

I didn't really get along with one of them but I have a feeling it's because the horse could tell I don't know diddely about riding a horse. hahaha. Anyway, the two farm dogs came along for the walk too and they were fun to have around as well. Highly recommend Deepwood Farm!

Adam is great to deal with and was able to schedule me in a couple weeks in advance as we were on a time crunch. You start of in the pen and take a nice ride past a pond, through a river to start, and amazing ride through the woods and loop back around. This ride is recommended for everyone, from beginners to advanced riders. Views are spectacular!!

*I believe North Woods Rafting is a part of Mahoosuc Outdoors, so essentially the same company*…read more We booked a rafting trip for a group of 8 guys on a Bachelor'd party trip, having had booked an airbnb for the weekend nearby. From start to finish, working with these guys was awesome. We actually went on maybe the 2nd to last day of the season, so our tour guides were extra jovial and enthusiastic in ending the season on a high note. Our boat had Bailey while the other guys had Kenny - both hilariously animated guys. We originally thought we'd be able to wake up for the early morning river run, but glad we booked the 2nd one due to having a late and debaucherous night before. The early afternoon was pretty windy so we were worried about freezing waters, but actually the sun came out and warmed us up pretty nice. All the equipment was very modern and new, and the rafts themselves were in great shape. Basically you draft down the river twice, with the second time full of more instances where you're begging to be tossed into the water. The last peaceful stretch was actually a great time for everyone to jump out of the rafts and peacefully wade in the water. There was an included photographer who got some awesome shots, although most of the time I had no idea where or when they were shooting and came up with great candids. The food afterwards was pretty great. You get a choice of protein - I highly recommend the salmon. They also have a bar type setup you can partake in. Overall, I highly recommend this adventure company. It provides a very homey feel and care to give you an awesome experience that is authentic to their roots and passion.

It was just the two of us, but it can sleep many, as long as you don't need too much privacy. Great for small groups who want a clean comfortable place to sleep and prepare simple meals (the kitchen is small but fully equipped). I highly recommend Memory Lane Vacations.

Our guide Kaitlyn was very patient with the two younger children on our ride, and always gave useful advice. The guide would keep checking back at the group along the trail to make sure everyone was ok. Took pictures for us at the end as well which was nice! I think some of the negative reviews on here mostly have to do with Groupon, which it seems they do not use anymore. Another negative seems to be towards the owner, whom I did not meet, but her employee Kaitlyn was very responsible and knowledgeable! Give them a try, I had a great time! I brought my boyfriend who had never ridden a horse before, and he wasn't screamed or yelled at! Very positive experience.

So, how do you rate an open space? In my estimation, it's typically not the "space" people rate…read morehere - but the event they're attending. However, as far as wide open spaces of nature go, this one is stunning to view in the fall; as is the rest of New England, for that matter. On this day, I made an impromptu attendance to a car show. Which is rich, considering I'm not even a car guy, nor have I ever been to one before today. See, I was actually revisiting an old friend from back in the day. And when I say "way back", I'm talkin' like....grade school! Do you know how rare it is to still be talking to someone from grade school years, albeit sporadically? Anyways, the area is surrounded by various in-house cafés and such. To be honest, I don't know too much about the surrounding amenities since I remained outdoors for the couple of hours I was at the car show. I will say there were certainly a variety of....rather interesting cars on this day. Don't ask me when they'll have another event like this because I only discovered this one via my friend's IG post. Still, it looks like a lovely place to hike, if you're into that sort of thing. It's also the perfect place to temporarily jump off the grid, seeing as there is limited (if any) cell phone service out here. Not a complaint, just a word of caution to anyone who doesn't want to be completely disconnected from society for a day. So, yeah...I'd recommend this space to anyone going for long walks or....whatever else people do out in these parts.
