Wonderful rustic getaway - perfect for larger families and groups!
We had such a terrific stay at Stump Sprouts — it’s the perfect place to disconnect from technology (although there’s great WiFi and Verizon cell service if you need it), play tons of family board games, cook in the industrial kitchen, and relax by the cozy living room stove with beautiful views all around. The barn / rec room is filled with fun old-fashioned wooden games like Puck Hole (a cross between shuffleboard and corn hole), a precursor to Foosball, spindles, and a ping-pong table. And then there are miles of well-groomed trails to go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing on — you can easily rent either, for kids and adults! This feels like the perfect place for gathering with close family friends or a big family reunion (each of the 6 bedrooms has at least one bunk bed and one double bed), once we’re past COVID. It’s good to be aware that Hawley is a bit more remote, so you’re not super-close to restaurants or grocery stores — but if you plan ahead and bring your own groceries or stop to get some 30 miles away, the kitchen has everything you need, and the dining room/hall has tons of seating (6 tables!). Our family had a great time, and we’d love to return with more friends and family when it’s possible! Lloyd was incredibly friendly in giving us the welcome tour, while also respecting our privacy for the rest of our stay. Thanks so much!!
