Nearby are
four major ski resorts: Stowe, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen and Bolton Valley offering some of the best skiing/snowboarding/x-country
skiing in Vermont. Snowshoeing opportunities can be found right out the back
door and VAST
(Vermont Association of Snow Travelers) snowmobile trails can be accessed
nearby also.
When it's warmer
these same mountains provide awesome hiking, backpacking, mountain
biking and camping possibilities. Running right behind our Inn, the
Winooski River offers great canoeing and kayaking as well as some
of the best fly fishing waters in New England. Additionally, the Waterbury
Reservoir is a great resource for all water sports.
For the relaxed
traveler or for those who have had their fill of outdoor activities,
there are loads of other attractions including Ben
& Jerry's Ice Cream Factory (which has factory tours), The
Cold Hollow Cider
Mill, Lake
Champlain Chocolates, Cabot Cheese Creamery and many others, including abundant
antique stores and a fine array of restaurants for all tastes.
