Lousy accomodations, great food and fun

I am so excited to read this. We went every year to Orchard Mansion and still have friends that we met there.

Who is still alive from the Kabatznick family?  They came to one of my sons' bar mitzvahs.

You hit the nail right on the head. The accommodations were lousy, but who cared. The food and fun was worth it.

We even took our dog with us.

Fun childhood memories

I have fun images in my head from Moodus and Orchard Mansion… first drink from a natural spring, first hack at a golf ball, a scary walk through the cemetery, the frog pool/pond with giant frog’s legs, shuffle board, watching the MLB All-Star game on a color TV, first female breast sighting, first kiss, (sour) milk and cookies, the Boston/New York rivalry, watching the old men (my dad was probably in his 30’s back then) playing cards by the pool all day, the talent shows in the barn, learning to dive off a diving board, on and on!

Great website.  My family will be thrilled to visit and take a stroll down memory lane.
