I mean, NYC is nice but holy Hannah batman! Sometimes you just gotta go on an epic New York road trip  or a scenic drive through Maine to escape the never-ending piles of garbage, say adios to the rats the size of house cats, and embrace the total awesomeness that is Vermont. 

Because guess what? Even though I’ve been (and still am) a total NYC native for well over twenty years, I spent basically every summer of my life in Vermont.

Yeah, my dad has a not-so-posh house on Lake Champlain that is just a hop, skip, and jump away from the great state of Vermont. 

Therefore, I’ve been traveling to the green mountain state for 20 years and know all about some of the most romantic getaways in Vermont. Idyllic places where you can slow down and reconnect with the one you love in a meaningful way.

You know, minus the all too cruel picture perfectness of social media that leaves me feeling like I totally suck at life since I don’t actually climb mountains in ball gowns.

Or is that just me and an issue that is best left for my therapist?

On second thought, don’t answer that. Instead, check out this super snazzy list of the most romantic Vermont weekend getaways that you ever did see. 

Charming trips that will make you want to impulse buy a red flannel shirt and inhale a large jug of fresh Vermont maple syrup (there’s really no maple syrup-like Vermont maple syrup) as you and all the other uber-cool hipsters around you do fun things like horseback ride into the sunset and sip on copious amounts of champagne in a glorious AF jacuzzi tub of your dreams. 

So, what are you waiting for? Stop dreaming and start living it up with this epic list of the most romantic getaways in Vermont…ever (If you’re looking for even more romance, check out these amazing romantic getaways in Maine  and visit some of the best beach towns in Maine while you’re there).

Heck, in-room massages are even available for an additional fee, as are a variety of uber-fab romance packages that include things like a fresh bouquet from a local florist, gourmet chocolates, a chilled bottle of champagne, a selection of six microbrewed beers (I’m not sure I really know what that actually means but let’s just go with it), and even an awesome picnic package that has everything you need to create a romantic picnic for two. 

Yessiree. The Inn on Putney Road really does have everything you need for one of the best romantic getaways in Vermont ever.

Whatever you do though, do NOT forget to partake in their complimentary, sumptuous breakfast feast or to savor the flavor (not included) at that their great little on-site pub. 

FYI, there’s also a pool table, indoor hot tub, and a beautiful on-site garden (complete with a working fountain) that you’ll totally want to take advantage of while you’re here.

8. Rudyard Kipling’s Naulakha

So, although it’s really hard to pick a favorite, a stay at Rudyard Kipling’s Naulakha is easily one of the best romantic getaways in Vermont ever!

“Why?” you may be rightfully wondering. 

Well, this is a beyond historic attraction/ three-floor inn that offers guests the unique opportunity to stay in the very building where Rudyard Kipling wrote his iconic novel, The Jungle Book.  

Yup, this National Historic Landmark sits at the end of a tree-lined driveway and was first built for Kipling in 1892.

Thankfully, much of the residence’s original furniture still remains, giving you the unique opportunity to sit at the very desk where the famous author wrote many of his most iconic novels. 

It’s also a lovely, shingle-style home that is nestled amidst a sea of vibrant gardens that feature a private tennis court- all of which are conveniently located just a few miles outside Brattleboro.

In total, the hotel has four gorgeous bedrooms that sleep up to eight people. Although, any stay here does require a three-night minimum and includes access to three full baths as well as various other bare necessities (sorry, I just HAD to use that beyond lame pun). 

Additionally, overnight guests can relax in the home’s beautiful library or enjoy the use of a full kitchen that comes complete with a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and a microwave. 

But, if you can’t afford the high price tag associated with an overnight stay, then you can always do a day trip to the site’s private museum, where you can learn all about the life and work of the famous author, Rudyard Kipling 

Address: Naulakha, 481 Kipling Rd, Dummerston, VT 05301

Town: Dummerston (10 minutes from Brattleboro) 

Price: Rooms here start at $450 per night ( see their website for more information) . 

Romantic Weekends in Vermont — Other Locations

9. castle hill resort and spa.

Known for its out of this world elegance, Castle Hill Resort and Spa is the perfect destination for any romantic getaways in Vermont that you might be planning. 

Not only is it located in the charmingly historic village of Ludlow (the town is 150+ years old), but this beautiful stone building is enveloped in exquisite ivy and is so historic that it’s actually featured on the National Register of Historic Places.

Thankfully though, all of the 10 well-appointed rooms here feature a perfect balance of old-world charm and modern amenities since they come fully outfitted with hardwood floors, free WIFI, flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, chic four-poster beds, and anything else you might need for a comfortable stay. 

And when I say, “anything else”, I mean a heated outdoor pool, a hot tub, an Aveda spa, tennis courts, a fitness center, and a fancy AF french restaurant (think world-class French cuisine that is served to you at candlelit tables). 

The property is also well located, making it easy to spend the day on the ski trails that carve their way through Okemo Mountain or at nearby Buttermilk Falls (almost as pretty as some of the best waterfalls in New York) . 

Whatever you do though, do NOT leave without first enjoying at least one cocktail hour (or two) at the property’s picturesque library. Seriously, Beauty and the Beast , eat your heart out. Because this library is next-level awesome.

10. The Pitcher Inn

Swank AF is the name of the game at the beautiful Pitcher Inn in Warren, Vermont. 

Because this charming place sits just three miles away from the scenic Mad River and is also a short drive away from Sugarbush (for any skiiers in the audience who want to explore Vermont in winter ), Roxbury State Forest, and local favorite, Warren Falls (a perfect place to swim in the summer). 

However, what I really love most about this romantic getaway in Vermont is that it has just eleven different rooms, two of which are two-bedroom suites. 

Therefore, you can truly soak up some quiet solitude, engage with the one you love, and delight in a bit of exceptional, personalized service – something that is sorely lacking in most large-scale hotels. 

All of the rooms here are also uniquely decorated with a vibrant selection of artwork and stunning pieces of furniture that feature nothing but the highest quality linens. A design aesthetic that is only enhanced by private balconies, fireplaces, and whirlpool tubs in some of the hotel’s suites.

Throughout your stay, you’ll also enjoy complimentary access to snowshoes, yoga mats, bikes, and even admission to the Sugarbush Health and Racquet Club.

Not gonna lie, this club is next-level awesome since it has a ton of facilities for you to use, including a pool, fitness center, jacuzzi, sauna, squash court, an indoor climbing wall, and more.

And when you’re finally ready to unwind for the evening, book an in-room massage or savor an incredible meal that is freshly prepared in the hotel’s cozy tavern or sleek, fine dining restaurant (make sure to order some wine since The Pitcher Inn is known for its expansive wine cellar). 

Address: 275 Main St, Warren, VT 05674

Town: Warren

Price: Rooms here start at $370 per night ( Book your room now! )

11. The Inn at Weston

Located in (you guessed it) downtown Weston, Vermont, this charming little inn occupies three separate buildings and has thirteen different rooms that guests can choose from. 

A wealth of well-decorated guest rooms that have a distinct, cozy country vibe to them that anyone planning a romantic getaway in Vermont will love. 

No really. This place is no joke when it comes to romance since all of these uber-fab rooms come fully outfitted with gas fireplaces, whirlpool tubs (feel free to “oh” and “ah” at will), private decks, private steam showers/saunas, and free WIFI. 

There’s even a charming on-site library, a beautiful orchid filled greenhouse and a garden side patio on the premises that are all just waiting to be explored. 

So, seriously, let the romance begin. Especially since all of these beyond fantastic amenities are perfectly complemented by a delicious, full breakfast that is served daily in the hotel’s light and bright dining room. 

Plus, for an added bit of awesomeness, The Inn at Weston also serves its guests complimentary afternoon tea and snacks – something that this exceptionally voracious eater can totally get behind.  

What? Still not enough foodie awesomeness for you? Then you’ll be delighted to know that this amazing Vermont hotel also has an on-site fine dining restaurant that serves dinner by candlelight, as well as a quaint little pub with a working fireplace and a deck for luxurious outdoor dining.

Oh, and if you can actually manage to tear yourself away from this beautiful Inn for a solid five minutes, then you’ll love taking a leisurely stroll through the beautiful town of Weston. 

Not only is the Weston Playhouse a short 7-minute walk from the Inn, but there are a ton of cute little boutiques, charming eateries, and fascinating local museums that are just waiting to be explored (the center of town even has this cute little waterfall that you can totally check out).  

***Want to make your stay here one of the most romantic getaways in Vermont ever? Then splurge on one of the inn’s premium romance packages! Yeah, they’re rad with a capital “R” since they feature super-nifty things like chocolates, flowers, champagne, a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow, wedding cake, and 10,000 other super cool things my mind just cannot comprehend right this minute.***

Yeah, The Reluctant Panther Inn kind of stole my heart as soon as I learned that they served complimentary, cooked-to-order, contemporary American-style breakfast in their amazing dining room. 

Their on-site restaurant isn’t too shabby either since it’s well-reviewed and offers a wide selection of foods that herald from good old, Southern Vermont. I mean, Vegan Butternut Quinoa? Yup, sign me up.

Although, they do serve lobster and brie fondue if you’re not as into veggies as me. 

However, if you’re not looking to totally eat all of your feelings away, then you’ll love that this refined Inn absolutely oozes old-world charm with twenty super comfy rooms that all come with vintage antique furniture, modern marble bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, free WIFI, walls adorned with original artwork, and quaint AF four-poster beds.  

Added bonus? Other, uber-fab luxury services are also available here. You know, super snazzy things like daily turndown service, in-room massages, and an assortment of romance packages to help make your weekend away extra special (if you’re into skiing take a look at the Stratton Mountain ski package). 

Add in a lovely little on-site pond as well as a central location that is just nine miles away from Bromley Mountain Ski Resort and you have another perfect place for just one of your many romantic getaways in Vermont. 

Although, if you’re really not that into skiing, you can always do some horseback riding, see a show at Weston Playhouse Theatre (it’s about a 40-minute drive away), try your hand at fly-fishing, go for a bike ride, or shop at one of the area’s many outlet stores (think Kate Spade and UGG Boots)

Address: 39 W Rd, Manchester, VT 05254

13. The Amee Farm

Tucked away amidst 40 rolling acres of waterfall and scenic pond embued property, The Amee Farm is basically like every girl’s fantasy of the perfect bed and breakfast (imagine a beyond exquisite wraparound porch). 

So much so that at night, you can actually look forward to an assortment of freshly baked treats. So yeah, do I really need to go on? 

And just in case you were wondering, yes. A delightful continental breakfast is also included with your stay. 

Plus, this place is so romantic that people typically have weddings here and stay in one of fifteen rustic, individually decorated guest rooms – each of which comes fully outfitted with handcrafted wooden furniture, therapeutic mattresses, flat-screen TVs, WIFI, scenic views, pine flooring, wood framing, and either private or semi-private bathrooms (with fabulous granite tiles and large rain showerheads). 

Sure, The Amee Farm is a bit remote. But, it’s perfect if you’re looking to see the New England Maple Museum, ski in the winter, hike the Green Mountain Trails and enjoy a quiet weekend away from the stresses of everyday life. 

Address: 4275 VT-100, Pittsfield, VT 05762

14. The Inn at Round Barn Farm

This super cute inn (I flipping love the adorbz round barn here) sits on a whopping 245 acres of property in Waitsfield, Vermont.

It’s also located inside a next-level charming 19th-century farmhouse that has been fully refurbished into a super upscale bed and breakfast that sits right next door to the Mad River Glass Gallery and Sugarbush Ski Resort. 

In addition to its awesome location, this fantastic Inn also has twelve exceptionally comfortable, individually decorated rooms that all have a distinct cozy country feel to them (Go for the glory and opt for the Richardson Room with its working fireplace and whirlpool tub).

15. Hotel Vermont

Looking for some slightly more exciting romantic getaways in Vermont that are actually, you know, in a real-life city? If so then check out the Hotel Vermont!

It’s a wonderful property that sits inside one of my fave cities of all time…Burlington, Vermont. 

Yup, it’s just a super cool place with a chill AF vibe about it since UVM is literally right here. So yeah, expect large swaths of college kids to overrun the city when classes are in session.

Otherwise, feel free to explore this hipster chic oasis since it overlooks beautiful Lake Champlain (FYI, you can easily take a scenic ferry ride across the lake to good old New York and check out some amazing romantic getaways in upstate NY  and do some of the best hikes in the Adirondacks while you’re there) and has a ton of fun things to do like explore the Shelbourne Museum , walk down Chruch Street, visit the Magic Hat Factory. tour the Vermont Teddy Bear Company, and so much more. 

However. when you’re not out and about exploring all that Burlington has to offer, kick your heels up at the aforementioned Hotel Vermont.  

Just think of it is as this ever-enchanting, modern luxury hotel that sits in the center of Burlington and that offers guests a wealth of contemporary rooms that feature stone tile bathrooms (oh la la), flat-screen TVs, luxurious beds, fluffy pillows, free WIFI, and more. 

And if you really want to live large, opt for a luxurious suite that also includes a working fireplace, a full living room, a whirlpool tub, a living room, and a kitchenette. 

There are also communal pantries here that are well-stocked with free tea, coffee, and water, as well as an on-site spa and gym that conducts daily yoga classes (for an additional fee).

But the best part? There are not one, but THREE different restaurants on site. So, if all this romance has you feeling a wee bit hungry, then stop by Juniper for some refined American cuisine (1000 stone mushroom ragout for the win), Hen of the Wood  for a chic but casual dinner (they serve a lot of roasts and veggies), and Blue Northeast Kitchen for a posh dinner filled with large plates of veggie burgers and Maine lobster rolls. 

Because we all know that the best way to THIS girl’s heart is with a ginormous plate of delicious food.

Warm and welcoming, individually decorated spaces that feature charming antique furniture, plush robes, spacious sitting areas, Keurig coffee makers, comfortable canopy beds, and suites with additional bedrooms (if you can snag a light, bright, and spacious Tavern Suite for extra comfort).

However, since a weary traveler is unable to sustain themselves on breakfast alone, you’ll be delighted to know that the Grafton Inn is also home to a wide array of award-winning eateries like the Pine Room Bar (sample some craft beers or freshly made cocktails), Phelps Barn Pub (a relaxed restaurant serving local pub fare), and the 1801 Tavern (a charming farm-to-table restaurant known for their bold flavors and modern American cuisine). 

***PSST…while you’re here don’t forget to sit in on one of the inn’s live music nights (located in the pub) or plan your visit for their annual Grafton Food and Spirits Festival.***

17. Mountain Top Inn and Resort

Located right smack dab in the middle of Rutland and Killington, Vermont, the stunning Mountain Top Inn and Resort quietly sits upon 350-acres of land and offers guests exquisite panoramas of the nearby Green Mountains.

Heck, you’ll even get access to a private lake and enjoy a stay in one of the hotel’s gorgeous classic lodge rooms, luxury lodge rooms, or luxury suites, which all include super snazzy things like free Wi-Fi, a mini-fridge, a microwave, a fireplace, and a coffeemaker. 

And while in-room amenities may vary, all of these artfully decorated modern/log cabin style rooms come individually designed and feature a private bathroom with a walk-in shower (think the uber-luxe life with wood-paneled ceilings, stainless steel fixtures, marble countertops, and premium bath products).  

However, when you’re finally ready to leave the quiet comfort of your luxurious room behind, enjoy free access to the inn’s hot tub, sauna, fitness room, heated outdoor pool, tennis court, private beach (with kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards available to use), cross country ski trails, snowshoe trail passes, and an ice skating rink (spa treatments and yoga classes are also on offer for an additional fee).

But, when all of this outdoor splendor leaves you feeling a bit peckish, enjoy a decadent meal at either The Mountain Top Dining Room (open for breakfast and dinner and slightly more formal) or the Mountain Top Tavern (A more casual place that is open for lunch and dinner. They have a limited menu but if you can, try their popular Burger and Brew night menu).

Both restaurants are located on-site and offer up some of the most amazing New England-style cuisines in the region, including fine cut steaks, chicken masala, mac and cheese, burgers, and pork poutine.

The 7 most romantic hotel getaways in Vermont

“What’s the most romantic hotel in Vermont ?” I asked my husband one recent afternoon, as he steered us along a winding road in the southern Green Mountains. He should know. Married to a travel writer, he’s tagged along on journeys to every corner of our adopted home state.

We’ve tested out the hotel bathrobes in ski towns, wandered historic villages, and discovered rural getaways across the Green Mountains. But the most romantic spot? The answer depends on the day. Sometimes, we’re looking for alpine adventure; at other moments, romance means a weekend browsing downtown Burlington.

When he replied on that afternoon, his answer surprised me. “I think it’s the place with the amazing bathroom,” he said. Years ago, we had spent a blustery spring night in the bridal suite of The Wilburton , a Manchester estate perched high above a tree-filled valley.

I loved the four-poster bed and sweeping views from the tall windows. It turns out he remembered the Roman shower and vast soaking tub. Who knew? Whatever your version of romance, you can get a taste at these Vermont hotels – you might be talking about the trip for years to come.

Classic New England style in a postcard-perfect village

Cross-country ski trails wind across the sprawling property behind the Woodstock Inn & Resort , whose old-fashioned style is updated with thoughtful design and amenities. Afternoon tea is served each day in the book-lined conservatory, while rooms look over the property’s organic gardens and 18-hole golf course.

Downtown Woodstock is steps away, offering strollable art galleries, souvenir shops, and farm-to-table cafes. Hike across the nearby covered bridge and up to the gentle summit of Mount Tom, earning vistas across a surrounding patchwork of farm fields and forest. For a closer look at Vermont’s farming traditions, visit nearby Billings Farm & Museum to meet brown-spotted cows who graze by million-dollar views.

Hotel Woodstock Inn & Resort

Mountain adventure access with spa relaxation.

A prime location on Stowe’s Mountain Road means Topnotch Resort is perfect for early-bird couples ready to hit the slopes of Mount Mansfield for hiking, biking, or skiing . Vermont’s highest peak is a year-round destination, with summer trails giving way to some of the best snow sports in New England. (Or you can simply hop the gondola to the summit for alpine access without all the work.)

The onsite spa at Topnotch Resort is made for post-adventure relaxation: Soak in hot tubs with views across the valley, book a couple’s massage, or snag a lounger by the indoor or outdoor pool. After dark, flickering gas fireplaces illuminate the property, and the hotel packs ready-made s’mores kits so you can toast your own sticky treats right over the flames.

Topnotch Resort

Old-school elegance on a romantic art-filled estate.

A family-owned charmer sprawling over a forested Manchester estate, The Wilburton exudes old-fashioned appeal. The grand salon has a wood-burning fireplace and grand piano, while outdoor Adirondack chairs look over a rolling, mountain skyline.

To ramp up romance, plan for an in-room massage from the inn’s on-call specialist. Booking a fall foliage package means innkeepers will greet you with a bottle of wine and bread from the inn’s nearby sister farm and bakery, Earth Sky Time .

Guest rooms in the Wilburton Mansion are full of handpicked antiques, and guest houses in a range of styles dot the property. The two- bedroom Innkeeper’s Cottage features a private deck with views across the valley to Mount Equinox — or you can drive to the top of the mountain for the ultimate Manchester panorama.

Wilburton Inn

A classic bed and breakfast puts the focus on fine dining.

With a rural location outside of St. Johnsbury, the Rabbit Hill Inn offers classic hospitality and gourmet cuisine. All eight rooms are appointed with fireplaces and fluffy robes ideal for lounging on winter evenings, while private porches look out over manicured grounds that bloom in summer months. Venture out to explore the artwork at the nearby St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, a small-town library with grand style. Then head to Dog Mountain and browse the canine-themed stained glass artist Stephen Huneck installed in the hillside Dog Chapel.

Each day begins with a candlelight breakfast. Be sure to make it back to the inn for afternoon tea, which features treats made fresh each day. The onsite restaurant is a region-wide destination, too, offering specialties including house-made pasta and Spanish-style octopus. With just one seating each night, the 14-table dining room invites leisurely dinners (and ensures there’s plenty of time to linger over dessert).

Rabbit Hill Inn

Downtown hangout a stroll from burlington's waterfront.

Shiny cruiser bikes at the stylish and modern Hotel Vermont are ideal for exploring the nearby Burlington Bike Path, which traces the scenic shore of Lake Champlain. Grab a pair to explore together, or head in the other direction to Church Street – a car-free string of boutiques and restaurants that bustle on warm summer evenings.

Craft beer enthusiasts can book tasting tours with Hotel Vermont’s beer concierge, who is full of inside tips on the best places to sip locally made brews. On snowy nights, snag a coveted spot by the open fireplace in the hotel lobby, instead, where you can sip craft cocktails from the onsite Juniper Bar as you watch the sidewalks turn white.

Hotel Vermont

Modern style in a vermont mountain hotspot.

The chic cocktail bar at Ludlow’s fresh-feeling Main + Mountain Bar and Hotel is a hangout for townies and visitors alike, with drinks that feature locally sourced spirits. The bar sets a convivial tone for this no-fuss, 13- room “boutique motel” in downtown Ludlow, walking distance from the ski shops and restaurants of the town center.

In-room gear closets are ready for active adventures, and Okemo Mountain is under a mile away – that means summertime trails and snow sports all winter long. To taste Vermont’s sweetest crop, make an afternoon trip to Ludlow’s Green Mountain Sugarhouse, where you can learn how maple syrup is made and pick up bottles to bring home.

Main And Mountain Bar & Motel

Cozy up in a village inn with world-class dining.

Blink and you’ll miss tiny Warren village, where there’s just a country store, a clear-running river, and The Pitcher Inn — it’s a prestigious Relais & Châteaux property where you’d least expect one. Each of the inn’s 11 plush rooms and suites has its own theme – many decorated with hewn logs and flannel to remind guests that despite the luxe amenities, they’re still in mountain country; Sugarbush Resort has downhill skiing and mountain biking a few minutes away.

Whatever your adventure of choice, plan to return in time for dinner at 275 Main at The Pitcher Inn, whose seasonal menu is matched with an impressive wine list. In-room whirlpool tubs and radiant floor heating ensure that nights are cozy, and the onsite spa offers pampering treatments from massages to pedicures and facials.

However, it's the secluded inns, some of them seemingly hidden in the countryside, that make Vermont particularly worthy of a romantic escape.

From historic icons like the Woodstock Inn & Resort to lesser-known bed-and-breakfasts like the Inn at Shelburne Farms, these are the most romantic getaways in Vermont.

The Grafton Inn: Grafton

For a romantic getaway off the grid, head to The Grafton Inn. Located in the tiny village of Grafton, the historic hotel dates back to 1801, with previous guests including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Today, the inn is owned by the Windham Foundation, a local nonprofit whose mission is to preserve Vermont's rural way of life in the state's smaller communities.

The Grafton Inn offers 42 rooms, suites and guesthouses. Each room's unique decor reflects the heritage of the inn; some are located in the main inn, while others are situated across the street in the annex building. Casual dining options include the 1801 Tavern – where you'll find the Pine Room Bar – and the Phelps Barn Pub, which often hosts live entertainment.

While you're in town, walk to Grafton Village Cheese to sample its award-winning aged cheddars, and be sure to browse the handcrafted wares at Small Town Forge, a historic blacksmith shop under new ownership. You can also go for a driving tour of the local covered bridges, a dip in the swimming pond or a hike in the area.

Address: 92 Main St., Grafton, VT 05146

Woodstock Inn & Resort: Woodstock

Opened in 1892 and later purchased by Laurance Rockefeller – conservationist, philanthropist and founder of RockResorts – the Woodstock Inn & Resort is one of the most iconic hotels in the U.S. Accommodations include six Legacy Suites, inspired by the Rockefeller family and others who shaped the town of Woodstock.

The Red Rooster, an AAA Four-Diamond award-winning restaurant, is a must for dinner, as are tandem treatments at the on-site spa, which features a four-season outdoor courtyard, Scandinavian cedar sauna and whirlpools. Guests also enjoy complimentary admission to the Billings Farm & Museum, a short stroll from the hotel.

While you're in Woodstock, take time to browse the the eclectic collection of toys, tools and everything in between at FH Gillingham and Sons General Store.

Address: 14 The Green, Woodstock, VT 05091

Inn at Shelburne Farms: Shelburne

The Inn at Shelburne Farms feels like a secret – and in some ways, it actually is. Tucked away on Shelburne Farms' sprawling 1,400-acre property, the stunning hotel is located down a winding road reserved for overnight guests or patrons of its farm-to-table restaurant. It's nearly impossible not to be blown away as the 19th-century building comes within view and you discover that it actually sits on Lake Champlain.

Inspired by the hotel's past as a country estate, each accommodation is different from the next. Select inn rooms feature antique clawfoot tubs, while the Glass House offers lakefront seclusion and convenient amenities like a fully equipped kitchen. None of the accommodations offer modern technology (though Wi-Fi is available in the lobby); instead, couples can enjoy the simple pleasures of life in the countryside. Order a glass of wine and settle into Adirondack chairs that overlook the lake and gardens, or enjoy a meal at the on-site restaurant, where breakfast and dinner are largely sourced from the property's working farm. It's also fun to tour the farm campus, which includes a dairy, a solar orchard and a number of hiking trails.

Note that the Inn at Shelburne Farms and its restaurant are open seasonally, mid-May through mid-October.

Address: 1611 Harbor Road, Shelburne, VT 05482

The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa: Manchester

There's even an award-winning par-71, 18-hole championship golf course."

Don't mistake the hotel's grandiosity for a lack of intimacy, though. Couples in search of romance can tuck into a meal at the cozy Marsh Tavern, open since 1767 and one of four romantic dining establishments on-site. You can also cozy up by a fire pit in the evening, go ice skating in the winter, and practically have the hiking trails to yourselves at any given time – the trails encompass 914 scenic acres in the Green Mountain National Forest. Recent guests praise both the resort and its location in Vermont.

Address: 3567 Main St., Manchester, VT 05254

January: Winter Recreation in Bennington and Manchester

Collectively known as the Shires of Vermont, Bennington and Manchester embrace everything that we love about winter — beautiful trails for snowshoeing and skiing, postcard-worthy views and historic sites, and a healthy sprinkling of great restaurants and shops.

Spend a night in each shire town or make one your home base for the weekend. In Bennington, be sure to visit the Old First Church and the historic cemetery where poet Robert Frost is buried. Walk the grounds of Park McCullough House , and tour the bright red covered bridges that span the Walloomsac River.

In Manchester, the summer estate of Robert Todd Lincoln known as Hildene strikes a magnificent pose against a snowy backdrop. Tour the historic home, meander through the woods, and visit the goats at the Hildene Farm and Dairy.

The campus of Southern Vermont Arts Center sits on 12 acres at the foot of Mount Equinox. It features a state-of-the-art museum complex with an outdoor sculpture park and rotating indoor exhibits that feature nationally acclaimed and local artists.

February: Winter Glamping in Putney

Looking for an adventurous way to spend a winter weekend in Vermont?

Pack your warmest clothes, your favorite coffee, some easy meals, and a pair of snowshoes, and head to this beautiful geodesic dome in Putney, Vermont for an off-grid getaway.

The interior of the dome is the aesthetic of every glamping retreat I’ve ever fallen in love with — lots of open space, plenty of light and warmth, and a super cozy bed next to a roaring woodstove. I

t’s very simple and very inviting. It’s also rustic. There isn’t running water, but the outhouse is very close!

March: Mud Season in Brattleboro

Brattleboro is a lively little town in the southeast corner of Vermont. It’s the perfect escape for foodies and anyone who loves a bit of urban living in a small-town package.

A weekend in Brattleboro is the perfect escape for city dwellers. It’s just three hours from Boston and four from NYC, plus it’s one of the few towns in Vermont with an Amtrak station, so you can easily plan a car-free adventure.

Mud season , as Vermonters call March through May, is the perfect time to find excellent deals on lodging in Vermont, and in Brattleboro, you can also shop the lovely boutiques and antique stores, eat amazing food, and check out live music, theater, and gallery exhibits.

Here are some fun things to do and see in Brattleboro during mud season:

New England Center or Circus Arts:  Offering special events and workshops throughout the year, if you’ve ever wanted to learn to juggle, swing on a trapeze, or try wire walking, you may want to check this out. Even if you don’t fancy yourself a circus performer, there are spectator events throughout the year.

Brattleboro Museum and Art Center:  BMAC is a non-collecting contemporary art museum focused on the work of living artists. Exhibits are housed in six galleries and are rotated every three to four months. The galleries are open Wednesday-Sunday, 10-4.

The Stone Church:  If you are fortunate enough to be in Brattleboro when there’s a performance at the Stone Church, be sure to buy tickets. This is a unique performance space with amazing acoustics, and the musical talent is always impressive.

Where to stay in Brattleboro: The Latchis Hotel is an 81-year-old quirky Art Deco building where you can travel back in time. From the terrazzo stairwells and stone corridors to the vintage radiators and bathroom fixtures, you’ll find a touch of history in every corner of The Latchis Hotel. 

April: Cabin Camping at Merck Forest in Rupert

You may have noticed our affinity for outdoor adventures in Vermont. Enjoying the outdoors is one of the best ways we know to succeed at living in a rural state, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Nights are still cold in April and the trees are still bare, but if you book a cabin at Merck Forest & Farmland Center for the weekend, you will undoubtedly start to see signs of springs in the forest.

Rustic cabins, complete with wood-burning stoves and stacked firewood are available for rent, as long as you are prepared to hike in your gear (0.5 to 2.25 miles from the visitor center).

The last of the maple sugaring happens in early April, and Merck Forest produces approximately 800 gallons of maple syrup from 2,900 taps. You can visit the sugar house to learn how syrup is made and buy some to take home.

April is also baby animal season on the farm. The 60-acre farm at Merck Forest is home to draft horses, sheep, and pigs that you can visit during your stay.

Finally, 30 miles of hiking trails allow visitors to explore the wonders of the forest. Our favorite is the hike to the top of Mount Antone with its panoramic vistas of the Taconic and Green Mountains.

May: Rockin’ Vacation in Barre

The city of Barre in central Vermont is home to Vermont’s largest quarrying operation, Rock of Ages, where the beautiful grey stone is excavated from a 600-foot deep cavernous hole.

The stone is known as Barre Granite, and it is used extensively in the creation of monuments, statues, and gravestones around the world.

While Rock of Ages has been around since 1880, the very first quarry in Barre opened in 1812, and in 1867, stone sheds were built for skilled carvers who migrated from all over North America and Europe for the expanded economic opportunities or to escape the political, economic, and social crises in their home communities.

Barre granite became well-known for its exceptional strength, hardness, imperviousness, and resistance to weathering, and the sculptures became known for their ability to turn slabs of rock into finely detailed and beautiful works of art.

You can explore the history, art, and economics of Barre’s famous granite with a weekend getaway.

Here are stops you won’t want to miss during your visit.

Rock of Ages Quarry: Take a guided tour of the largest operating deep-hole, dimension granite quarry in the world. 

Vermont Granite Museum: Located within an authentic turn-of-the-century granite manufacturing plant, the Vermont Granite Museum celebrates the geologists, technology, history, and art of Vermont’s granite industry.

Millstone Trails: The Millstone Trails are a network of multi-use trails traversing the historic quarry lands of Millstone Hill. The trails wind their way through northern hardwood and coniferous forests and along exposed granite spines with fantastic views of the quarries.

Hope Cemetery: Hope Cemetery features incredible stone artistry from celebrated granite carvers through the ages. Like the marble industry, granite has been quarried, sculpted, and celebrated in Vermont since the Civil War.

Visit Hope Cemetery at 201 Maple Avenue in Barre, between 7 am and 5 pm.

Downtown Barre granite sculptures: Take a self-guided Art Stroll with Studio Place Arts through the city of Barre. Discover whimsical granite sculptures, both historic and contemporary.

Where to stay in Barre: Firehouse Inn is a historic inn that was once a firehouse, located along the Winooski River. It features free Wi-Fi, an on-site firefighter museum, and rooms with cable TV. The renowned Barre Opera House is across from the inn.

June: History and Hiking in Killington

If you are looking for a hiking hub in Vermont with an abundance of trails, swimming, camping, waterfalls, and amazing views, you have to check out Killington!

Summer is a fantastic time to pitch a tent at Gifford Woods State Park and explore the Green Mountains in central Vermont.

Killington Peak is one of Vermont’s few 4,000+ foot mountains, and the views from the top are spectacular.

Bucklin Trail is 7.4 miles (round trip) and brings you passed beautiful Irene Falls (pictured above) and up to the rocky peak after ascending 2,470 feet. It’s not an easy hike, but it’s so worth it.

Insider tip: Don’t want to hike to the top of Killington? You can ride the gondola at Killington Resort to the top for the same views that your hiker pals achieve after two hours of huffing and puffing (you’ll miss the pretty waterfall, though).

History lovers will also want to check out President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site , the childhood home and village of the 30th President of the United States. the village of Plymouth Notch has been preserved much as it was during Coolidge’s lifetime, and you can visit his boyhood home as well as the room where he was sworn into the office of the presidency on August 3, 1923.

From there, head to Long Trail Brewing in Bridgewater Corners, one of Vermont’s oldest and most distinguished craft breweries.

July: Summer Adventures in Stowe

Stowe is another mountain village in Vermont that embraces the outdoors. It’s got two of the most beautiful waterfalls in the state, the tallest mountain in Vermont, and too many hiking trails to count.

At 4,395 feet, Mt. Mansfield in Stowe is Vermont’s highest mountain. On a clear day, you can see west to Lake Champlain, north to Canada, and east to New Hampshire.

There are several trails leading to the top, but if you don’t have time for an all-day hike, consider driving the  auto-toll road  or riding the gondola to the top of the mountain from Stowe Mountain Resort.

The village of Stowe is buzzing with activity in every season, and there is no shortage of cute Vermont shops and fantastic restaurants. Be sure to visit the   Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum,  walk on the Stowe Recreation Path, and hike up to Sunset Rock, for – you guessed it – the sunset.

Pop into  Black Cap Coffee  for lunch or an afternoon espresso, and treat yourself to dinner at  Idletyme Brewing  (great outdoor seating and fantastic onion rings).

Where to stay in Stowe:  Tälta Lodge Bluebird  is our new favorite place to stay in Stowe, this beautiful lodge is located on the Mountain Road with the river flowing behind the property.

You can easily access the Stowe Recreation Path and Smuggler’s Notch is just up the road. Rooms come with an outdoor seating area, and there is an indoor pool and sauna. Unfortunately, pets are not permitted.

August: Small Town Adventures in Jamaica, Londonderry, and Weston

Explore small-town Vermont in the summer, and you may find yourself packing your bags to move here permanently.

Southern Vermont has no shortage of beautiful towns worth exploring, but the mountain villages of Jamaica, Londonderry, and Weston are particularly charming.

The village of Jamaica is the gateway to Jamaica State Park, with its numerous swimming holes and great campsites.

Londonderry features several shops and restaurants, Taylor Farm (known for its artisanal cheese), and Lowell Lake , one of the area’s premier paddling spots.

In Weston, you won’t want to miss the world-famous Vermont Country Store , where you can stock up on everything from penny candy to flannel nightgowns.

All three towns feature historic churches and buildings just begging to be photographed and back roads that beckon from beyond the town limits.

Where to stay: If you don’t mind roughing it, I can’t say enough great things about camping in Jamaica State Park. For a more refined experience, book this adorable riverfront home with a private deck in Weston.

September: A Relaxing Weekend in the Lake Champlain Islands

The Lake Champlain Islands in Vermont are unassuming — as if they haven’t quite figured out how popular they actually are.

The three islands and one peninsula that make up what locals call ‘the Islands’ are home to regular folk — farmers, school teachers, and construction workers, living in modest homes with million-dollar views. 

There is no wrong time to visit the Lake Champlain Islands, but there is something magical about September when orchards are open for pick-your-own apples, every farm stand is bursting with fresh veggies, and the lake is still warm enough to swim in.

Between mid-September and mid-October is the shoulder season that dreams are made of, provided you aren’t looking for nightlife that involves more than gazing at the stars. 

Here’s an overview of the best things to do on a fall weekend in the Lake Champlain Islands:

Alburgh Dunes State Park : A 625-acre day-use park that includes one of the largest sandy beaches on Lake Champlain, as well as unique sand dunes that are more common along ocean shorelines.

St. Anne’s Shrine : A peaceful, spiritual, and historical attraction, which has been developed and maintained for the past 100 years by the Society of Saint Edmund in Vermont’s scenic Champlain Islands. 

Chazy Fossil Reef: Step back in time and explore one of the oldest known coral reefs in the world! Lake Champlain was once part of a tropical sea, and the fossilized plants and animals at the Chazy Reef are approximately 480 million years old.

Snow Farm Vineyard in South Hero : How many of you knew that the oldest commercial vineyard and winery in Vermont was located in South Hero? Stop in for a tasting, where you can choose to taste four or eight wines, both red and white before hiking up to the high point in the island (279 feet).

Where to stay: Rent one of the rustic camping cabins at Grand Island State Park or stay at Snow Farm Inn , right down the road from Snow Farm Vineyard with gorgeous Lake Champlain views.

October: Fall Foliage in the Northeast Kingdom

Never underestimate the power of a few million leaves breaking down chlorophyll to captivate the soul.

You can plan a trip to just about any corner of Vermont during the leaf-peeping season to marvel at nature’s handiwork, but the Northeast Kingdom (NEK) of Vermont is one of the most enchanting spots to be in early October.

The leaves start to change color in the NEK before anywhere else in Vermont, and the massive tracts of forested land make this area a feast for the eyes.

Plan to take things slow, and explore some of the many back roads, thousands of lakes and ponds, and numerous hiking trails in the area.

Here are some of our favorite spots to visit in the Northeast Kingdom in the fall:

Lake Willoughby, Westmore: Lake Willoughby is the deepest lake entirely within Vermont, and I’d argue that it’s also one of the most picturesque. Take an easy hike on the South Shore Trail or the more exhilarating hike up Pisgah for breathtaking views.

Old Stone House Museum, Brownington: Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Old Stone House Museum & Historic Village was established by the Orleans County Historical Society and has been operating as a museum since 1926. It has now grown from one building to become an impressive historic site with seven restored buildings and three neighboring structures, all dating from the early 1800s.

Jay Peak, Jay : Visit Vermont’s only tram for views of the Northeast Kingdom and Quebec from an elevation of almost 4,000 feet, or hike to the top for the same views with a nice workout. Jay Peak Resort also houses Vermont’s only indoor waterpark.

Peacham , Vermont:  Classic New England scenery in a small package!

Brighton State Park and Island Pond: Island Pond is another quintessential New England village with spectacular foliage. Hike the Bluff Mountain Trail for views of the village and surrounding lakes and ponds, or r ent a rustic cabin in Brighton State Park to explore more of the area.

Where to stay: The Village Inn in East Burke , Vermont provides beautiful accommodations in the Northeast Kingdom.

November: Holiday Shopping and Craft Beer in Burlington

Vermont is largely rural, and while many towns include a few wonderful shops where you can pick up unique gifts, Burlington takes the prize for its wonderful shops and restaurants along the pedestrian-only Church Stree Marketplace .

If holiday shopping is on your to-do list, why not make a vacation out of it?

Burlington is Vermont’s largest city, and with just over 40,000 people, it’s small enough to walk just about everywhere (just dress appropriately – those winds off Lake Champlain can be brutal).

Here are a few indoor activities that we’d recommend checking out while you’re in Burlington:

Visit the Echo Center on Lake Champlain:  This science and nature museum features live animals, changing exhibits, and a 3D theater. Learn all about the history, geology, and ecology of the Lake Champlain Basin.

Take a Burlington Brewery Tour:  Most of the craft breweries on the Burlington Beer Trail are within walking distance of each other, but if you don’t want to hoof it, check out the  Sip of Burlington Tour ,  which provides a designated driver and VIP access to local breweries.

Check out Burlington City Arts Center:  Part gallery, part art education center, Burlington City Arts features rotating exhibits, classes, and open studio time.

Go Climbing at Petra Cliffs:  This indoor climbing facility in Burlington appeals to every type of climber, even folks that have never done it before. Great for kids and adults.

Visit Get Air Trampoline Park : Visiting Burlington with kids? Get Air in Williston is one of the best ways for them to burn off energy indoors. Not only does Get Air have thousands of square feet of trampolines, but they’ve also got foam pits, slack lines, and special events.

Where to stay in Burlington, Vermont: While I don’t usually recommend large chain hotels, but the Hilton Garden Inn in Burlington is impressive in its location, price, and comfort. Even the lobby is beautiful. This Hilton is located on Main Street, just a few blocks from the Church Street Marketplace and the waterfront. It’s also got an indoor pool and fitness center.

December: Romantic Winter Weekend in Woodstock

There’s nothing quite as magical as a winter weekend in Vermont , and while there are lots of adorable towns worth visiting, a stroll through the historic town of Woodstock in the winter is like walking right into a snow globe!

From the center of town, you can explore several blocks of beautiful historic homes, festive holiday decorations, and incredible shops and restaurants. We recommend taking the afternoon to get the lay of the land and poke around in the shops.

If you love cross-country skiing or are interested in learning how to do it, Woodstock is one of the best spots to give it a go. The Woodstock Inn & Resort grooms the Nordic ski trails in Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (Vermont’s only national park) and the trails on Mount Peg. There are 45 km of trails, and many of them are perfect for beginners. There are a few more difficult trails for experienced skiers too.

Billings Farm & Museum  is a working farm and non-profit organization on 200 acres in Woodstock, Vermont. If you’re interested in learning more about farm life, meeting some adorable farm animals, taking a winter sleigh ride, or just meandering around a beautiful farm, you have to make time for a visit.

Finally, if you can’t decide on which weekend to visit Woodstock, consider Wassail Weekend , which will be taking place December 9-11, 2022. This festive holiday weekend includes a scavenger hunt, a gingerbread house contest, live music, kids’ activities, and a holiday parade.

Where to stay in Woodstock: The Village Inn of Woodstock  is beautifully pink on the outside and the interior features luxurious rooms with fireplaces. It’s located within walking distance of everything downtown Woodstock has to offer.

Ready to plan your next Vermont weekend getaway? No matter when you choose to visit, there’s a remarkable Vermont vacation with your name on it!

This Quaint Town in Portugal Was Just Named the Best Place to Invest in Europe — and It Has Stunning Beaches

Lush pine forests, cobblestone streets, endless ocean views, and low real estate prices await in this quaint community in northern Portugal.

Xurxo Lobato/Getty Images

Portugal is on everyone's mind these days. The country's sunny weather , many beaches , and affordable cost of living have made it a popular choice for retirees and digital nomads. However, as is often the case, real estate prices in some of its most sought-after regions, like the capital, Lisbon and Algarve , have soared. But that doesn't mean you should give up on your dream of owning property in Portugal.

A new report by International Living ranked the small, under-the-radar- town of Caminha the best place to invest in real estate in Europe for its value and growth potential. 

The community is located in the northwest along the mouth of the Minho River, which separates Portugal from Spain, and is home to about 16,000 residents. International Living gave Caminha a perfect score of 10 in the relative value category and nine for quality of life and stability.

"Caminha, which is only separated from Spain by a river, completely charmed me," Ronan McMahon, founder of Real Estate Trend Alert and author of International Living's Global Real Estate Index, told Travel + Leisure . "It has a beautiful Old Town surrounded by a verdant and bucolic countryside, with mountains, rivers, forests, and fields overflowing with brightly colored flowers and fruit trees heavy with their bounty. And then there are the stunning Atlantic beaches."

The ancient town has plenty of character, with fountains, churches, and other buildings dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. And it's easily accessible from Porto, which is just an hour and 15 minutes south, providing access to an international airport. 

Jeff Opdyke, International Living's personal finance editor, called Caminha a "holdover of Portugal before tourism and modernity swept over Lisbon, the Algarve, and Porto," where affordable real estate is still the norm. 

Potential buyers can find apartments downtown for as low as $150,000 and stand-alone houses for $280,000 .

And while Caminha is the best place to invest in Europe, another destination took the top prize for global real estate value: Mexico's Los Cabos. International Living ranked first with almost perfect scores in categories such as income potential, climate, and international appeal. Riviera Maya and Estepona in Spain, a town in the country's famous Costa del Sol region, are tied for the third place.
