Cowshed Cabin Farm

The Setting

Cowhsed Trail, between Cemetery Rd. and Silver Hill Rd. was once used as a path for moving cows from one pasture to another. At one end, it is a one lane, tree-lined, dirt road that is bordered by woods and open fields. It expands into two lanes halfway through, where about a dozen homes have been built. The original cow shed and other farm buildings still remain.

Cowshed Trail is frequently used for riding and driving and is often a part of GMHA or other locally sanctioned distance rides, so it is common to see riders or drivers enjoying their sport or just out for pleasure. From the property, you can ride or drive directly onto the dirt roads that offer hours and even days of beautiful vistas, good footing and often a challenging terrain.

Four miles away is the Green Mountain Horse Association facility and grounds. From there you can participate in or observe the many shows, events, clinics and other equestrian activities that are going on. Next to GMHA is a well known tack shop and nearby are many enjoyable restaurants, general stores, and interesting tourist attractions. Lots to do and see!

Also in the area are the Ascutney Mountain Resort and Woodstock Inn fitness centers, with pools, saunas and whirlpools. The Strong House Spa is in about 20 minutes away in Quechee.
