Our second stay with Alison was as wonderful as the first. Our first visit was a romantic getaway with my husband. This time, we brought our 3 year old boy.
We spent a morning at the nearby Franconia Sculpture Park where he climbed and played to his heart's content. Later he enjoyed swinging in the hammock swing chair, getting up close and personal with the chickens, roosters, and baby chicks. Alison shared some farm fresh eggs with us that were sooooo delicious and rich with our breakfast. We picked up some root beers and fresh maple syrup just down the road, and ate at a yummy, farm-to-table lunch at The Watershed Cafe per Alison's suggestion, while our son got a kick out of the waterfall he could look out the window at and even stand over on the platform built there. We did a family hike down to the river and our son made it almost the whole way all by himself! Both our stays were during 90+ degree heat waves, yet we stayed cool under the tree canopy and the breeze. In the height of the afternoon, we played in the river to cool down. and by evening the tent is totally comfortable. The bell tent leaves ample room for all our stuff and everyone to sleep in a real bed, much appreciated by us tired parents! My son found the twinkle lights in the tent to be so magical.
A stay at the Wilder Bell Tent is just marvelous all around!
