Newfane is a small village of about 1600 residents in Southern Vermont, surrounded by tree-covered hills and filled with New England charm. The village dates back to the mid 1700s – it has a long history, and even featured in H.P. Lovecraft’s The Whisperer in Darkness.

Not far away, you’ll find the Gay Beach and Nude Swimming Hole on the Rock River, which has been a safe space for men to gather for over 50 years. At the end of the trail, there are a series of deep, clear water swimming holes. Known as “Indian Love Call” by the locals there is a long tradition of nude bathing on the Rock River as there is in Vermont in general. On any summer weekday or weekend, you will find 50-150 friendly men at the Rock River’s men’s beach.

The Brattleboro area (Brattleboro is 12 miles from Frog Meadow) is well known for its open, gay-friendly progressive values, welcoming attitude, and longstanding embrace of diversity. Vermont was a trailblazer in farm-to-table restaurants and that movement is well represented here. There are numerous Farmer’s Markets and a natural foods coop, 3 microbreweries & a distillery. Brattleboro boasts a rich cultural & visual/performing arts community that includes monthly gallery walks, museums, music, theatre, circus arts performances, frequent artist’s open studio tours, literary & film festivals -including an annual LGBT film festival. Aa a result, it’s no surprise that Brattleboro has been: 

  • Voted #11 of the “20 Best Small Towns in America” by Smithsonian Magazine…
  • Listed as one of “Eight Great Places You’ve Never Heard Of” by Mother Earth News…
  • Named #13 among “America’s Top 25 Art Destinations” by AmericanStyle Magazine…
  • Ranked one of the Ten Best Small Art Towns in “The 100 Best Art Towns in America”

Newfane’s Own Gay Oasis

Frog Meadow - Newfane Gay B&B

Newfane is also home to a well-established gay B&B. Frog Meadow is 4 miles from the Rock River trailhead.

When you pull into the driveway at Frog Meadow you can immediately sense you have arrived at an oasis. A place, as the website promises, where you can shed the trappings of the outside world and be yourself. Owners Scott and Dave – a couple of 32 years – at once make you feel welcome and at ease with their easy openness and good humor. 

Bucking the trend of assimilation and the disappearance of gay places, Frog Meadow offers single and coupled men a place to relax, recharge and reconnect with themselves and other guests. Frog Meadow’s guests are primarily Gay, Bi and Trans men but all men are welcome. This unique and special destination resort is off the beaten path and well worth the visit. 

Frog Meadow - Newfane Gay B&B

After a 16-month pandemic pause Frog Meadow is busier than ever and is a sought-after destination for men of all ages from the US, Canada, and Europe and beyond. Amenities include massage by Dave, a wood-fired hot tub, spring-fed swimming pond, full gym, recreation trails, extensive annual and perennial gardens, and plenty of options to just chill and do nothing on the 63-acre park-like property. 

Frog Meadow’s six unique suites, rooms and cottages offer comfy beds with premium bed linens and other high-quality amenities. Your stay comes complete with a full, made-to-order hot country breakfast prepared daily. In season, you will find local berries, apples, preserves, edible flowers, asparagus, fresh herbs – and of course, honey from Frog Meadow’s beehives and apple cider from the orchard at the breakfast table.

In 2023 Frog Meadow will reinstate their all-inclusive Men’s gatherings, workshops & retreats programming with a Fall Yoga & Wellness retreat in late September and a Massage & Tantra retreat in late October. Scott enthusiastically notes “We’re so happy to once again be supporting the community with retreats following the extended COVID break…our men’s gatherings, workshops & retreats provide a rich opportunity to celebrate, transform, integrate and heal body, mind, spirit and sexuality…in a relaxing and comfortable, supportive and safe environment for men.”

Frog Meadow - Newfane Gay B&B

Dave’s no-nonsense philosophy on massage is that the body, mind, and spirit are intricately intertwined components of the whole being. If any one part is out of alignment all three suffer. By assisting in bringing the body into balance, the mind and spirit benefit as well. With his XXL hands and a 5’10” and 220-pound muscular frame Dave has the strength and power to work out the deepest tension, and the finesse and gentle touch to pamper and comfort. 

Scott & Dave have also been community activists for many years through Frog Meadow’s Community Partners in Pride program. Past and current community partners have included AIDS Project of Southern Vermont, Pride Center of Vermont, Fenway Health, the New England Center for Circus Arts, Grace Cottage Hospital, Out in the Open, Equal Justice Initiative and Rock River Preservation.

Discover Newfane, Brattleboro, and Vermont’s Gay Oasis – why thousands of men from around the world have enjoyed the unparalleled experience that Frog Meadow offers to the Men’s community.

Chateau du Gue aux Biches – Normandy Gay B&B

Chateau du Gue aux Biches - Normandy Gay B&B

Normandy Gay B&B In A Historic Chateau Near Bagnoles

The history of Chateau du Gue aux Biches goes way back but Albert Christophle implemented the biggest changes after he bought the place in 1868 as a hunting lodge. He was the Minister of Public Works in France and the creator of the town of Bagnoles. He was also the mayor and initiator of the very well-preserved Belle Époque neighbourhood of the town.

In 2017, we bought the château and have worked purposefully to renovate it into a Normandy gay B&B, respecting the history and the original details to bring it back to its former greatness. In August 2020, we moved permanently to France to pursue our dream and create a unique home where we look forward to welcoming you as our guests.

Bagnoles is a famous spa town in France. As far back as the Middle Ages, there are tales of the healing hot springs in the town and today there is a large spa that attracts guests from all over Europe.

La Dauphine – Gay New Orleans B&B

La Dauphine – New Orleans Gay B&B - La Dauphine – Gay New Orleans B&B

Fauborg Marigny Gay New Orleans B&B –
Four Blocks from the French Quarter

People often compare New Orleans to San Francisco, Savannah, Charleston, Paris, or Marseilles. It’s not like that at all. The biggest difference? The streets are full of live music year round. You’ve never seen so much “street theater.”

At our gay New Orleans B&B, our most cherished guests come for the wonderful food, music, architecture, history, artists, and writers of the Big Easy, and our French-Caribbean ambiance.

We live in the old French area, as my Creole ancestors did, coming from France and Spain in 1the 1700’s. My mother and father grew up speaking French just a few houses away from us. Our district, Faubourg Marigny, is a quieter version of the adjacent French Quarter – you can actually sleep at night here. It’s a safe, artist/gay residential area with about seventy bed and breakfasts. The city attracts one million visitors each month, so accommodations here book up quickly.

Within a short walk of our New Orleans gay B&B, you’ll enjoy great local restaurants:

* Marigny Brasserie
* Belle Forche’
* Cafe Negril
* Feelings
* Santa Fe
* Marisol
* La Peniche
* Mona’s
* Wasabi
* Adolfo’s
* Santa Fe

And bars:

* Spotted Cat
* Cafe Brasil
* d.b.a.
* Checkpoint Charlie’s
* Phoenix

Not to mention an overabundance of art galleries and antique shops. There’s a Cuban grocery store right across the street, and Jackson Square is just a twenty-minute stroll through the adjacent French Quarter.
