A bit of a drive, but a wonderful spot. This one doesn't have a swimming hole, but it is fun to wander over the falls on a cool walking bridge.

This route is a beautiful example of the rural Vermont landscape and beautiful in every season. We love the stretch starting at the end of 66 and taking a right toward South Royalton.

We love this place!! It is twenty minutes from the cottage, but worth the drive!! With a vegetarian menu that combos a brewery it might sound odd, but even for non-vegetarians the food menu will not disappoint you and neither will the brews and views. Take 12A to Bent Hill. A beautiful scenic drive.

Roma's is a butchery, but it also serves lunch and dinner. If you are looking to BBQ non-veggie this would be a go to for that. They do have some options for non-meat eaters if you are going for lunch.

Sandwiches, coffee, milk, the paper and damn good homemade cookies. This place has a long Vermont history. The scale out front is for weighing deer and bear. Not for the faint of heart during hunting season.

Stowe is a bit crowded in the busier tourist season, but It is a famous destination for tourism and skiing if you like that sort of thing. The drive over Smuggler's Notch is fun.

Conseils aux voyageurs

Se déplacer dans les environs

You need a car

You will need a car to get to the cottage. It is also the most practical way to experience what Vermont has to offer. There are, however, many wonderful roads for biking and Amtrak does service out of Randolph. Heading North that train makes stops to Montpelier, Waterbury and Essex Junction.
