From the Archives: Southern Vermont's Frog Meadow Farm – A Perfect Getaway | |
Point Fu: Kelly & Brian's trip planning and travel notebook
As I've said many times before, I'm not a big "hotel person" – I'd rather be out seeing the sights and meeting up with people than ensconced in the stylishly-bland, comfortable nowhere of a posh urban hotel. There are exceptions, though. Visiting a traditional Japanese ryokan inn immediately comes to mind. While they're often located in beautiful settings, the hotel itself is the primary destination. Beautiful seasonal food, soaking tubs and baths, and lots of quiet time for just chilling out for a couple of days. For experiences like these, I'm very much a hotel snob.
Over the past 13 years we've been to Frog Meadow in all four seasons. Scott and Dave, the innkeepers, are like extended family. We came here for our honeymoon. We came here to heal and recuperate after a painful death in the family. And we were some of the firsts guests to return after their long Covid closure.
As a gay man, there's something powerful about having a place to go where I don't have to have my guard up. Many of us have gotten so used to having it up we don't even notice that it's there until we get a chance to take it down and experience what that feels like. You'll never need to censor or otherwise repackage yourself to make sure you don't ruffle the feathers of fellow guests who might not approve of your "lifestyle" or who object to it being visible "in front of the children." It's liberating.
The inn is clothing-optional. In practice that generally means that people are only nude in the tub or the pond, or when an adventurous type goes for a nude hike on one of the private trails. One of my favorite things about Frog Meadow is that it perfectly walks the line between cozy/romantic and flirty/playful – you can have whatever kind of time you want to have there.
There are guests of all ages and sizes, many visiting from Boston, New York, Montreal, or elsewhere in the Northeast, and points beyond, singles and couples,

Let’s take a look at some of the coolest things about Vermont and why the Green Mountain State is simply incredible!

Vermont's covered bridges aren't just cool to look at, most of them are still in use. You'll find several covered bridges, including the longest one still in use just down the road from Frog Meadow! | |

Treat Yourself to a Relaxing & Therapeutic Massage! | |
|
Male touch is a powerful and healing gift. Dave’s training combined with his innate intuitive nature uniquely qualifies him for this work.
Dave’s philosophy is that the body, mind, and spirit are intricately intertwined components of the whole being. If any one part is out of alignment all three suffer. By assisting in bringing the body into balance, the mind and spirit benefit as well.
Dave honors all those who arrive on his table with an individual treatment plan based on your input and what he feels with his hands when the work begins.

Discover Rock River: Our Local Gay Beach! | |
|
Just upstream from the confluence of the Rock and West Rivers, and only four miles from Frog Meadow off Route 30, there are a series of deep, clear water swimming holes. Known as “Indian Love Call” by the locals there is a long tradition of nude bathing on the Rock River as there is in Vermont in general.
As you hike further up the Rock River you will notice that the first swimming hole is deep with a sandy beach and a rope swing. This is the “family” swimming hole where the clothing stays on. The further upstream you go the more likely you are to see nude bathers; the next couple of beaches up the trail are mixed, gay and straight, and nude.
As you continue further up the Rock River it becomes increasingly gay until you reach your final destination, about a 30-minute hike from the road and discover the “official” gay area. While the wooded

areas are very cruisy and do have their share of activities, the scene by the water is very social and quite friendly (e.g. no “attitude”).
Men often bring preparations with them for a summer BBQ and, generally speaking, all are welcome, especially if you have things to share. There is a feeling of being in another time and place when you’re there!
