Winter in Vermont is classic. It really is what you dream it to be: festive villages dressed up for the season, mountains of deep snow, sleigh rides, snowman building, ice pond skating, apres ski by the fire, local foods, arts, crafts, and all the skiing, riding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, hiking, ice climbing, and sledding you can handle.

The quiet of a Vermont winter is distinct and well-known the world over for good reason. With a thick blanket of snow covering all our lands like natural sound-proofing, Vermont is ideal for both play and rest. For there is no better place to unwind, relax and recharge than beside a fire at a warm B&B. Simply no better place to naturally hush the roar of the world.

True beauty is redefined every morning after a fresh snowfall in which the kids can run and jump and flop all around in the powder. And so can you.

They can get a whitewashed face and laugh it off as they ride a sled with no worries and no plans. Enjoying the moment because it is all that matters. And so can you.

They can see mountains full of trees and even more mountains beyond those in layer upon layer as far as their eyes can see. No skyscrapers in the distance, no smog in the way, no billboards fighting for attention. They can see the real world outside. And so can you.

And so will you, this winter in Vermont.

With air so clean, all you’ll see is your breath, Vermont is pure and simple. Take time to make it to Vermont this winter. Take time to simply take time. In the entire world there’s only one Vermont. In the entire world there’s only one you. Make both a priority this season.
