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...
Two towns that we really overlooked when we got here are Chester and Andover. Both located on Route 11, you can get there from Bennington by going up through Peru and Londonderry and heading east on Route 11. Andover is more rustic with gorgeous mountain views (some...
Old First Church Bennington Since I live in Bennington, I've become an expert at day trips well within a half day's drive from Bennington. Located in the Southwest corner of Vermont, Bennington is close to Williamstown, MA, as well as the Stratton ski slopes and it's...
If you're looking for a great place to get away from all the pandemic panic, Foxglove Farm in Leicester, Vermont is an amazing secret getaway. It's a beautiful forested property owned by the lovely Mark and Catherine, who are really warm and friendly people but will...
While Vermont was shut down, a lot of our inns and airbnbs were really hurting because they couldn't future book and many of their reservations were cancelled. So when I heard that my friends over at Foxglove Farm in the beautiful Champlain Valley of Vermont had this...
One of the beautiful things about Vermont is the great variety of landscapes and topography in our state. When people think about Vermont, they generally immediately think mountains, and it's true, the Green Mountains bisect the state, and offer absolutely spectacular...
This winter running guide is not necessarily specific to Vermont, but over the past winter, I have run nearly every day, and I've become somewhat of an expert on winter running. I was really anxious after moving to Vermont as to how it would affect my running, I...
Another wonderful little town in Southwest Vermont is Wilmington. Route 9 is the main route between Bennington and Brattleboro, which is Southern Vermont's southeastern-most town, and one way you can get over to Boston (and a much prettier choice than the Mass Pike)....
I recently learned about Ludlow from a Yankee Magazine article about some of the best towns in Vermont, and after visiting I'd have to heartily agree! We had an errand to run in Weston last weekend so I figured we'd pop over to Ludlow for lunch afterwards. It's about...
Weston is truly one of the most picturesque towns in Vermont, a charming tourist destination that's home to the Vermont Country Store and that boasts an old-fashioned grist mill and adorable town green with a gazebo. It's also home to the Weston Playhouse, in case you...
Right down the road from Weston you'll find Jamaica, Vermont, quite possibly one of the prettiest towns in southern Vermont. As you crest the hill down into Jamaica, you will see one of the most spectacular vistas I've experienced here, I actually risked getting mowed...
