Tour The Quail's Nest

The Quail’s Nest is a circa 1835 house converted to a bed and breakfast in the early 1970s. It is located in the quaint village of Danby (population 1,000), nestled in The Green Mountains, minutes away from the Appalachian and Long Trails [click here for more activities]. We are just off scenic Route 7 and convenient to the shops and restaurants of Manchester, Robert Todd Lincoln’s Hildene Estate, Bromely Mountain, and Stratton Mountain. Sleigh rides and horse back riding are available in Danby and nearby Danby Four Corners (which has only three corners if you’re counting).

Also available for purchase are USGS topographic maps of the southern Green Mountains and a map of the covered bridges in Vermont.
