Fabulous food, music, drinks, and arcade for the kids all in a historic barn. This place really checks all the boxes. Set the kids loose in the arcade while the grownups unwind in the upstairs loft bar. Or grab some dinner while listening to some live music. Highly recommend this place.

A special piece of history in West Dover serving fine-dining. Perfect place for a special occasion or date night.
In the late 1700s, the building was moved, stick by stick, from Marlboro, Massachusetts and is reputedly the oldest frame building in the town of Dover. It was then situated on the lower acreage of what used to be the "Snowbrook Inn" and was then known as the "Grout Place".
In the early 1900s, the property was bought by President Theodore Roosevelt's son and daughter-in-law. She has vividly recounted her family's adventures there (including bear hunting) in her biography. According to local residents with
keen memories, and to TR's granddaughter, who has been our guest, President Roosevelt himself was known to have come here as a retreat. Often arriving unannounced at the old railway station (now Deerfield Valley Supply in Wilmington) he would be given a ride by one of the local residents.
In the early 1940s, the Roosevelt family sold the property to Mr. Lincoln Haynes of Wilmington (of Vermont Barnboard Fame) and the "Two Tannery Road" building was moved yet again - this time on rollers during a winter blizzard, to its present location. The site had been home to several sawmills and a tannery, thus, its present name.

Ski the mountain right out the front door. The mountain is 0.35 miles from the house. You could walk but there is also a shuttle at the bottom of the hill. In the summer, hit the trails on foot, mountain bike or ski lift to the top for some food and views.
