The Barn at Frost Moon Mountain
Nestled in the sleepy Equinox Valley where the cloud’s kiss lingers on the mountains, our exquisitely restored 250-year-old farm rests along Vermont’s famed Battenkill River. Frost Moon Mountain is located in Manchester Center just a few hours North of New York City and Northwest of Boston. Once a working farm, the remnants of our agricultural history provide an air of nostalgia so prominent it’s palpable. Though the horse’s stalls are gone, we’ve preserved Frost Moon Mountain’s heritage by retaining much of its original charm while updating amenities to today’s contemporary standards of comfort and luxury. Our peaceful mountain escape combines bohemian sensibility with rustic radiance - the perfect backdrop for any event or gathering.

There several additional areas that can be used for gatherings depending on event type and preference; have your guests hike up to the top of our mountain for your wedding ceremony overlooking the valley, stage a dinner in the meadow, practice yoga under the majestic Chestnut tree, grab a good seat on the cocktail patio for sunset, (it has the best views), take a walk around our 25-acre property, there are a lot of cleared paths, or snuggle in and enjoy s’mores around a giant bonfire. Whether you’re hosting, or attending, Frost Moon Mountain has something for everyone.

Most of them are also relatively clairvoyant - and with a steady hand they will guide you towards the best possible choices for the most amazing event you can imagine. Event planners can be brought on for full planning, partial planning or even just weekend-of coordination.
