Ever wonder about those little huts out on the ice around Vermont? Well, beside creating a great “Norman Rockwell” backdrop at our Vermont Inn, they are used by ice fishermen to keep warm and dry.

There is something about the feeling of being outside in the Vermont winter. The crisp clean country air and the peaceful silence that comes with a soft snowfall. One great way to get outside and experience this serenity is snow shoeing. Lucky for us, there are plenty of great cross-country ski trails around Brattleboro that [...]

My first ice skating experience was on a pond – well really it was more of a big puddle, with an eight foot circumference out behind my childhood home in Connecticut. My first skates were double-bladed things that strapped onto my winter boots and my Dad brought out a kitchen stool for me to use for support. Since then most of my skating has been with newer black, single-bladed hockey skates. However there is something about winter in Brattleboro Vermont that calls out for some good old-fashioned ice skating.

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 [...]

Mt. Wantastiquet in Hinsdale, NH is just a short walk from downtown Brattleboro, VT and is one of our favorite simple hikes. It’s easily walkable from our Vermont B&B, and offers 3 great choices for hiking. Start by walking downtown and crossing the steel bridge into New Hampshire. Make the first left and follow that [...]
