Stony Hill Farm is in the heart of the beautiful Mad River Valley. While its legendary skiing attracts winter sports enthusiasts, unlike many other ski resorts the area is surprisingly free of crowds and traffic. Its pristine countryside makes it a wonderful destination throughout the year for bikers, walkers, golfers, riders, kayakers, and everyone who after their first visit falls in love with its fresh air and natural beauty. The area is burgeoning with a progressive and sophisticated community and is home to cultural, sports and arts events throughout the year, including the Taste of the Valley, the Vermont Festival of the Arts, Farmers' Markets, the legendary Warren 4th of July parade, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream factory, the Vermont Icelandic Horse Farm, and much much more. The crystal clear Mad River has many beautiful swimming holes and is wonderful for fishing, tubing, or just skipping rocks.
