My friends and I stayed at the Big Blue Ranch for a few days this month because it was on the total…read moreeclipse path, and because we are astronomers, looking for dark skies that we cannot get at home anymore. I would come back here to stay in a minute. The skies in this area are beautiful and huge. The horizons are clear, with very few trees to obstruct the view. Every single night we had amazing skies, whether on account of storms you could see building for miles away, or clear skies that were so very dark and starry. This area is pretty remote; there is not much in the way of towns unless you want to drive about 40 miles, and no light domes to disturb the viewing near the horizon. Note: there is no Wi-Fi here and cell phone connections may be problematic as well; one of our party has AT&T and had a very spotty connection, another of us had Verizon, and had good service there. I have T-Mobile and no service at all while at the ranch. Just something to be aware of. The facilities here are top notch. The kitchen is well-stocked with the amenities, but you should plan to bring your own food. This is a working ranch. Therefore, you can help the family with ranch duties, or you can horse back ride, or any number of other activities, such as fishing in the pond behind the lodge. Our hosts, Bobbie and Scott, were very cordial and attentive. They were perfect. I want them to get business because this place is so wonderful. As I said, I would come back here in a minute. I will have lots of fun memories of this place long into the future.

Great place the employees are amazing and so are the horses. I love the trail ride they take you on…read morethe employees tell you how to sit on the horse if you have never ridden before. I will love to come again and bring my whole family

My mother in law booked a hayrack ride in early October and it was a very memorable experience…read more While we're still in a pandemic, a dozen of us hopped onto a true hayrack, unlike any I've been on before, it's a flat bed, with a literal pile of hay onit. Pro tip- Bring a blanket. The ride is 1 full hour going up the trails that horses ride. The color of the trees is stunning, I haven't been to vermont but I've seen enough romance movies to know what it looks like, and this is it. When we got to the top of the tallest hill we pulled off to Look Out Point and had 10 minutes to take photos, EPIC photos, you may seem them on my christmas card this year. After the ride was over the staff has set up our campfire and got it going for us. It was a 5 star experience start to finish, the staff couldn't have been friendlier and helpful. I hope to make this a yearly tradition.

We got the bread service and the Nola shrimp to start. The shrimp was absolutely incredible and…read moreperfectly cooked with the sauce - I could drink the sauce it was so good. For my main I got the grilled chicken Provençal. It had castelvetrano olives, capers, confit tomatoes with buttered gnocchi. Surprisingly, the olives worked really well with the flavor profile, because I thought it was gonna be overpowering, but it really wasn't at all. Overall it was good but maybe not worth getting again- I would want to try something else next time. My boyfriend got the black garlic honey salmon which looks super good and I wanna try it next time. The pork tenderloin also looked incredible. The vibes were very particular because the restaurant is in a country club. I Would want to sit outside next time - especially when the weather starts to get better and it'd be so nice to have a drink outside!

I had the salmon, probably the best salmon I've ever had! Will come back for it! Dessert--chocolate cake and toffee caramel cake was SO GOOD This was our first time here, so it was a very good first impression!! Service was prompt

Ambience: Good, but not amazing. There are some neat touches, and the bar itself is beautiful, but…read morethe overall space doesn't quite come together. Our table was noticeably uneven. Service: Outstanding. Our waitress was genuinely kind and worked incredibly hard. Even while clearly busy, she stayed attentive and did a great job throughout the meal. Food: The buyer was fantastic, and the quality of the meat really stood out-this is the kind of quality you don't find very often anymore. The sirloin felt a bit tough when cutting into it, but it wasn't chewy at all, which was a pleasant surprise. Medium-rare leaned more toward rare, but still enjoyable. The pasta was also surprisingly good-I honestly expected something closer to basic chain-restaurant pasta, but it exceeded expectations. Overall: A great place with average pricing and notably higher-quality meat than you typically find. Definitely worth a visit.

This was one of the most fun Saturday activities we have done in such a long time. We signed up for…read more"whine" with the alpacas and it was the best time. You get to be up close for 30 minutes then we sat and drank some wine while watching the alpacas graze! Sheri and her mom were the sweetest and made sure to talk to guests and teach guests about the alpacas and their land! It was just a fabulous event and we will definitely be back! Recommend bringing lawn chairs to sit on as the grass can get buggy!

The alpacas come out and graze while you get to enjoy some bevvies. They had probably at least 25 alpacas and we were lucky enough to meet five new borns. They all are so soft to pet (but a little skittish to strangers). They also have feeding events. For further information I would check out their Facebook page. They have a website but the owner more frequently processes request through Facebook

The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance and plenty of seating. We ordered the lobster spinach queso as an appetizer, and it was delicious. For my main course, I chose the wood-grilled salmon with mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes. While the dish wasn't anything particularly unique, it was very well prepared and tasted great. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes.
