Just a short drive from our Vermont Inn, across the bridge in Northfield, New Hampshire you can find a unique entertainment experience that will take you back in time.  I’m talking about the Northfield drive-in movie theater.

Tim and I took a trip over there with some friends this past Saturday night for their double feature of WALL-E and Iron Man.  Opened in 1948 and one of the oldest Drive Ins in New England, the(…)

There is a movement across America to begin purchasing products that are made locally.  Whole Foods, food cooperatives and local grocers have gained serious popularity in the last few years.

I think people are moving this direction for several reasons.  One reason is certainly the recent contamination scares from imported produce.  This year it was salmonella in tomatoes (but really they meant peppers) and don’t forget that last year it was scallions.  Of course, I also(…)

Coming from New Jersey, there really aren’t all that many “hot” days in Brattleboro.  Of course, when the thermometer does climb, there are some perks to living in Southern Vermont?  One is the luxury and serenity of a nice dip in the river.  There is nothing more refreshing then a swim in a nice cool fresh water river.  One of our guests’ most frequently asked questions is “where are the swimming holes?”.  Well, the great(…)

I have asked some folks around and haven’t had much luck with that either. So far all of the details that we have are that the area east of the(…)

With all of the great snow that we have been getting, the mountains are all open and the conditions are great! We made it out to Mount Snow this past weekend (Mount Snow is an easy 20 minute ride from here on the well cleared Route 9). The conditions were great and almost the whole mountain was open (rare for this early in the season). After
