MAPLE OPEN HOUSE WEEKEND

3/26/2018

 
Maple Open House Weekend is one of the best times of the year! When the sap is running in the spring we love to visit Elm Grove Farm, Charron's Family Maple, Baird Farm, and Sugarbush Farm, just to name a few of our favorites. 

If you've never had a sugar shack experience, the sugarhouses are FILLED with steam of sugary goodness. Workers are bustling to keep the fire stoked and the boiling process at peak temperature. Visitors can sample hot maple syrup on Vermont snow and even entice you with homemade cider donuts, apple pancakes, beer waffles and specialty candies! It's a true Vermont experience you don't want to miss. 

Have a favorite spot you like to visit, please share :)

WINTER ROAD TRIP

1/18/2018

 
There's nothing better than hitting the open road with no plan, stumbling along, and finding all the unique nooks and crannies of each town as you go.

We were traveling through Woodstock just as the snow started picking up and the Middle Bridge just looked so picturesque... all the fluffy white snow and barn board, it still felt like the holidays.

Come stay with us, take some time from your busy life to wander and discover what makes Vermont so special!
