ACTIVITIES

Gather Around the Firepit...

Enjoy a glass of wine around our propane firepit as the sun filters through the shade trees above. And treat yourself again to the cozy firepit as you enjoy your morning coffee and chirping birds. 

Our main deck features seating for 12. Four of those seats are comfortable swivel chairs that nest perfectly around the propane firepit. 

Before your visit, the propane is filled and deck prepared.

Host a Picnic on the Lawn

This is your opportunity to slow down to enjoy an unhurried meal and create a lasting memory with an old-fashioned picnic! The north and south lawn – or even the meadow - are the perfect place to throw out a blanket and enjoy snacks and sips. 

Available for use during your stay, everything you need to enjoy the fresh air and lawn is tucked away in our luxury picnic backpack including a soft blanket, a cooler, an insulated wine sleeve, salt/pepper, a petite cutting board and knife, and plates, utensils, and cups for up to four. 

Enjoy this sweet on-property experience!

Enjoy Yard Games

Whimsical yard games are the ideal reason to get out of the digital world and get outside. 

Perfect for families, couples, and retreats - enjoy a rousing game of cornhole, croquet, or ladder ball on one of our lawns. 

Create a team competition or just create a memorable afternoon of laughs and connection with loved ones as you breathe in the fresh country air.

Read, Build Puzzles, and Play Games

Tired of non-stop media? Recharge your soul with our provided books, puzzles and games. 

Evening time and rainy days beckon you to unplug with a good book in our leather library couch or on a rocking chair by the fireplace. 

The library is stocked with a variety of books, board games, and puzzles engaging guests of all ages and building real lasting memories.

Take Family Photos

Dream Acres is an idyllic location to capture your family photos. When you book overnight stays with us, you are welcome to bring a photographer during your stay. 

Bundle up and stand in front of our forest – an aging Christmas tree farm – for your holiday greeting card. 

Or capture your memories in the orchard or lawns or other beautiful backdrops.
