There’s nothing quite like experiencing winter in Vermont; on average, starting in late November, our verdant landscape has already turned from green to gold, and then the first dusting of snow comes. The ski resorts begin their busy season, the snowshoes come out of storage, and we spend our evenings curled up by the fire. Whether you have time before or after the holidays, this is a great time to get a trip on the books focused on relaxation and rejuvenation.
Our Vermont Bed and Breakfast is the ideal place to do just that. Our historic farmhouse offers the perfect reprieve either as a pre-holiday reset or a post-holiday break—or for those who might be planning for a getaway on Thanksgiving or Christmas; we also love welcoming guests to join us in the celebrations! During your time at our cozy B&B, you’ll get to fully appreciate the beauty and wonder that is winter in Vermont. Start planning today and get your reservation on the books!
