Fall in Vermont

Fall in Vermont is a most magical season. The foliage becomes an attraction in itself, and the cooler temperatures bring a renewed energy to enjoying the outdoors. While most spring and summer activities are still available, especially biking, hiking, kayaking and fly fishing, there are certain things specific to fall not to be missed – keep reading!

Important: if you are in the early stages of planning your stay with us in the fall, please be aware that this is our busiest season: book your room and your restaurants early!

As always, feel free to call or email us for questions.
