nothing resets the mind, or your family’s vibe or, a team’s thinking better than a change of scenery.

a place to explore
perimeter trail
the perimeter trail at the sweep links together several zones, vistas, and magical locations to discover.
a scavenger hunt of happy places in the wild - with lots to choose from.
whether you bring your dog, your coffee, or your bike, the perimeter trail at the sweep will take you through rock gardens, maple groves, an old apple orchard, around the pond and to the top of breezy hay fields.
the views are nothing short of stunning.

a place to interact
the sweep banquet lawn
raise a glass. make a bad speech. hoot. holler. feast. celebrate. tear up the dance floor.
if these trees could talk…

a place to escape
the perch
atop the highest hill at the sweep, the perch sits quietly over the upper field where you can see everything there is to see, and breathe in all the joy, peace, and serenity you can stand.
the perch is one of the favorite intimate spots along the perimeter trail used to meet, celebrate, or escape at the sweep.

a place to inhabit
cabin by the pond
a rustic shelter with just the right amount of luxury to make roughing it an absolute pleasure.
after a brisk swim and a greenhouse roof to gaze up through, you are one with nature in any season.
(a fluffy comforter/pillow fortress helps this concept shine brightest.)

a place to hide
find your hiding place
is it in the field under the vast night sky? is it in the woods under the dappled light tree canopy? which ever suits your needs, you will find each other at the sweep. ponder what it all means - or don’t think at all. Our favorite is to just sit back and let the trees read you the news from the universe.
