The summer brings with it so many wonderful things to see and do in this part of Vermont. Friends, new and old, venture out into places they wouldn’t think of going in winter months. Birds fill the air with melody and blooms of all kinds are everywhere.
Here at Back Inn Time we’ve had does and fawns visiting near our shade garden and drinking from the brook. The pool is just the right temp when it’s hot, but warm enough on cool mornings. Guests have remarked about the serenity, and yet how close to everything.
We are uniquely situated here: close to where Chittenden, Lamoille, and Franklin counties meet, so it’s a hop, skip, or a jump to just about anything you could ever want to do. Hiking, boating, golfing, fishing, shopping, kayaking, swimming, eating, visiting family or friends, antiquing, wineries, breweries, and distilleries. How about a woodworking course at the Vermont Woodworking School? The most unique yarn shop you’ll ever visit is What A Yarn, just ten minutes away. There are multiple wedding venues very close by, too. Stowe is an easy scenic ride, Burlington’s waterfront is close, as are multiple very well groomed trails for biking or walking, like The Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail or the Lamoille Rail Trail, and the Colchester Causeway and bike path.
At the end of the day, when you want to kick back and relax, light a fire in one of our cozy firepits, grab your favorite beverage, and look up at the constellations. Maybe even make good old-fashioned S’mores. The night sky here is breathtaking and awe inspiring. Go to sleep in one of our comfy, luxury lined beds and wake refreshed to do something else the next day.
Spending a few days like this always refurbishes the soul, stokes the gratitude and joy that simple pleasures, personal rest, and recreation bring. Here’s to a refreshing getaway.
PRO TIPS:
*Bring a passport if you want to spend some time traversing the border’s many wonderful shops and wineries (on both sides).
*For an amazing dinner just 8-10 minutes away, check out Café Monette, where Food Network season winner and James Beard semifinalist Adam Monette creates the most amazing authentic French cuisine. BUT you’ll want to make reservations at the same time that you reserve your stay with us—they are frequently booked out.
*Don’t forget to pack your swimsuit!
*If you’re coming to visit family in the area and staying more than 3 days, call for an exclusive discount.
