Farms and Meadows

Vermont is well known for many aspects of its farm community: maple syrup, fine cheeses, pastoral landscapes, Morgan horses, family farms, innovative, responsible practices, and historic visionaries who left farms that delight and teach us still.

In Franklin County, as in the Champlain Islands, you're surrounded by the vast views—waterscapes and wildflower meadows, farm fields and mountain highs, the fall foliage against our special backdrops of lake and verdant land. Wherever the scenery draws you, you'll delight in the detours. Rounds of golf at numerous courses in spectacular settings. The inviting shops. The delicious dining.

Come in summer. Get closer to nature at the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge and so many other special wildlife viewing sites or get closer to each other on hay rides!

One of the best ways to visit this northern region, is to bike or walk along the Missisquoi Rail Trail, a series of trails developed over decommissioned railroad lines. The rails were removed, and the surfaces made even, to offer the visitor easy going access into the heart of Northern Vermont’s agricultural open lands. The “Trail” wanders through the farms fields and wetlands of Franklin County at a railroad’s pace – slow, steady grades with sweeping bends. For the full length of the Trail you’ll see the postcard images of Vermont you’ve seen everywhere. You’ll also see the working families and working landscapes that created and support this spectacular scenery.

After a day of outdoor adventure, return to the inn for a delicious meal featuring localvore / organic menu items which celebrate Vermont's unique working landscape.
