WHO: Battenkill Lodge
WHAT: Three or Four Day Luxury Package Vacation
WHERE: Shushan, NY

WHEN: 2018 or 2019

TERMS: This is a three day weekend, or four day mid-week stay at the luxurious Battenkill Lodge on the famous Battenkill Farm in New York. The estate was established as a private sportsmens preserve and has over 660 acres. The successful bidder can use the lodge as a base for their fly fishing, sightseeing, or upland bird hunting adventures. New England shopping is a short drive. The Battenkill Lodge offers superb accommodations in a beautiful, natural setting. Using the quaint town of Shushan as a springboard, guests can visit many picturesque sights in the foothills of the Green Mountains. Many visit the American Museum of Fly Fishing and the Orvis headquarters in Manchester Village. Additional sights to see include the Norman Rockwell Home and Museum as well as the outlet shops and restaurants nearby. The lodge owns two miles of the water on the Battenkill River Trophy Area, and ½ mile of the Owlkill River. The Hoosic River is only a short drive, and the lodge owns over 3 miles of water there. These waters contain wild brook and brown trout with no hatchery stocking. Fly fishing is the only method permitted in these trophy areas. The lodge can arrange for a guide if you would like a complete fishing package. In the fall you may want to combine the fishing and beautiful fall colors with some upland bird hunting. Migrating Woodcock and Ruffed Grouse are the primary targets. The excellent natural cover has been enhanced through selective timber management designed to benefit the wildlife. The rolling terrain, old stone walls, Aspen, Hemlock, and Sumac provide a vivid backdrop for an enjoyable upland hunting day. Again, the Lodge is able to provide a guide and a complete hunting or fishing package.
