Local Things to Do

A two-minute drive or a ten-minute walk just up the street. Live music on the weekends, ice cream and burgers, a bar, apple/pumpkin/berry picking, a corn maze, and a petting zoo. Depends on the season. Great for kids and adults!

Bring the littles to this adorable zoo, attached to the Millbrook School. My favorite is watching the red pandas. Perfect for kids 10 and under. Have lunch in one of the fabulous Millbrook restaurants and cafes when you're finished! Or grab a coffee and a snack at Babette's Coffee Shop.

Hiking and Nature

Spectacular Hike to Cat Rock on the Appalachian Trail. Yes, the parking spot's GPS is an oak tree! Hike the trail on the opposite side of the tree to the cliff overlooking Pawling, NY. This 45-minute hike has some strenuous parts, but the view is worth it. You also pass (on an offshoot to your left near the creek) one of the few lean-to shelters on the trail.

Feels like a Norman Rockwell Painting! This quaint village is less than 10 minutes away. Several coffee shops (I love Sunflour!), tacos, pubs, restaurants, gift shops, ice cream... I taught in the local high school for over a decade. It's a very homey and lovely place.
