Traveler advice
Don't miss
Sunsets
The best local place to watch sunsets is on the end of Eagle Camp Road which is directly across from the driveway.
Don't miss
Walk the property
The property is a beautiful place to walk. Its magical walking between the rows of Giant Blue Spruce rows. Walk between the spindly pines and around the pond continue between the tire path to the second pond and over the wood bridge. The path will take you along the far side of the property to the Grand Isle Nursery which is on the property. Walk parallel to the road back towards the house which will lead you through the rows of trees and to the Orchard (apple, peach, pear, cherry)
Don't miss
Feel free to use
Feel free to use our Paddle Boards, Kayaks, Sleds, Golf clubs (there is a hole at the bottom of the hill in front of the pond).
Please use them with care and put them back

Drive around the island
There are always things to do and places to go but take the time to drive the island and take in the views while stopping at each of our local hidden gems. Keep and eye out for the uniqueness (magical mini castles built throughout the island, Dinosaurs, birdhouses, rain chains, wild life)
