GEMUTLICHKEIT (ga-moot-li-kyt)
Few people pronounce it properly, but it is a feeling all who visit The Farm can sense. It is the German good life, a satisfaction that comes from time and leisure, and friendships old and new. It is the essence of convivial gatherings in the pursuit of good times.

It welcomes you when you arrive at Bill Hoffman's Knox Creek Farm. It embraces and warms you as you sit next to the fireplace in the Main House, or a wood burning stove in a trail cabin. It is in every cup of hot chocolate, glass of wine, snifter of Cognac. It is along every ski and hiking trail, in the sauna, and under every quilt atop every plush bed. It is the comfort of discovering a pleasure the Farm has offered since 1885: this is the right place to enjoy life.

DISCOVERY
Knox Creek Farm provides pleasant discovery inside and out. Scenic miles of groomed ski and hiking trails are dotted with Leopold benches and heated trail cabins that sleep up to four. Innumerable species of plant and wild life abound in the Arboretum. And wondrous natural phenomena are to be discovered along every landscape. Fishing and canoeing opportunities are also abundant in the area, with Willow Flowage and a host of other lakes and streams all nearby.

Next to the Main House, which sleeps up to six, you will find an authentic Finnish sauna to warm your bones at the end of the day - or beginning. And inside the Main House are Bill Hoffman's personal collections of priceless art, literature and historic pieces to stimulate the cultural sophisticate in all of us. Within a short walk is the Brantwood Heritage Center, a fine collection of historic buildings and artifacts. Pubs, dining and the Brigadoon Winery are all just a short drive from The Farm.
