The Property
You can hear our babbling brook from anywhere on the property – all year around (except those few frozen days).
The Moonbeams Trail is a short loop in our woods that crosses the brook at 2 different scenic points. You can also climb to the top of our mountain – yes, we have a mountain.
Book, in advance, the wood-fired hot tub experience and we’ll prepare it for you!
Take a dip in our swimming hole! It’s especially great for a cold plunge between hot tub soaks.
Enjoy our different fire pit locations to warm up and spark conversation by.
By 2026, we plan on Moonbeams being 100% carbon neutral. Sustainability and caring for our earth is top of mind and action.

Hike The Surroundings
Walk or bike a scenic 2 miles up our less traveled road to state forest land.
