I'll be honest. Spring is my least favorite season in Vermont. And I use the term "spring" loosely because we don't really have one. Yes, the blooms start, with the forsythia and then those smart enough to plant daffodil and tulip bulbs, and then everything else...
Vermont has two quiet seasons, also known as Stick Season and Mud Season. While these aren't official seasons that the Department of Tourism would recognize ha, because there's nothing nice about them, but they do have a beauty all their own. Stick season is in...
This crazy pandemic winter was the best winter of my life! I think I was the only one, but it was all thanks to nordic skiing. I meant to start skiing last year, but just never got around to it, so it wasn't the pandemic that made me want to ski, cross-country skis...
Sure the snow and bitter cold temps can be a challenge in winter, but I think the number one complaint of Vermonters would be the lack of sunshine. You can definitely turn up the heat, and snow can be gorgeous, especially when it has first fallen, but if there's no...
You might recall I did a post on winter running last year (you can read the full post here) and yet another winter is going by with me running every day and while most of my tips are the same, I have even more gear recs than last year that you guys might find helpful....
One real silver lining to this pandemic (and believe me, there aren't many lol!) is that I have spent more time in and around my town. I feel like sometimes you ignore what's right in front of you, but with less travel (even within the state of Vermont, I've been to...
It's the most wonderful time of the year! And though it will look a little different this year, Vermonters are decking their halls and trimming their trees! We're having a special event in our state called #vtlightstheway where our Governor has asked Vermonters to...
They call November in Vermont "The Quiet Season", and if you're a golfer like me, trust me, the Quiet Season is a big relief after rushing around to get in every minute on the course that you can in summer and fall. I was literally praying for dreary, cold rainy days...
As New England (and one of the nation's) most rural states, Vermont is not lacking in stunning rustic vistas to capture and enjoy. People think that Vermont is all small-town charm and there is that, but to me what makes Vermont such a special place is the miles and...
No one does small-town charm quite like Vermont! Vermont is known for it's quaint, cheerful tiny towns, many of which only have one or two country stores and of course, a post office and town green or common, but their sweetness and beauty makes them worth the trip,...
Many Vermont inns and resorts were offering special travel deals to Vermont residents this summer (Vermont has some of the strictest travel restrictions of any state), so you did not have to ask us twice to take advantage! We haven't lived here long enough to really...
Spectacular Stowe! We enjoyed a lovely weekend in Stowe in June, The Stoweflake resort had a special for Vermont residents that we took advantage of with another couple, they love The Stoweflake and it was our first time so we were excited. Stowe is super charming,...
This summer, many Vermont inns and resorts are offering special rates for Vermont residents only. I have polled instagram to come up with a list of Vermont inns you might enjoy, and will be adding to it as I find them! Four Chimneys Inn Bennington Four Chimneys Inn -...
Classic Woodstock Vermont. Not to be confused with the infamous Woodstock New York, our Woodstock is one of Vermont's tourist gems, a pristine town in classic New England style. The anchor of Woodstock is of course the Woodstock Inn, which is a 5 star inn and...
A little bit out of the way, Grafton Vermont is one of the nicest, most classic New England towns. Unfortunately it's not necessarily on the road to anywhere really, but it makes for a wonderful side trip! The Grafton Inn anchors the small town of Grafton, and it has...
