The Perfect Day
Wake up and enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea on the back deck or sun drenched coffee table as you take in an incredible view of the new day. You can either cook up a delicious breakfast for your group or head into town and find some brunch. Then head to the slopes to shred some snow, or grab those clubs and hit the links, or your fishing pole and test your skills as an angler on the best lakes and rivers that Vermont has to offer.
There are several wineries and breweries to tour, art galleries to browse, and local artists to support, if that is more your speed. Pair your purchases by visiting a local farm or cheese factory.
As the day moves into the evening, you can head into town to find a great restaurant or bar, then spend some time in the hot tub. If you prefer to cook, complement the food you purchased at the grocery store with fresh fruits and vegetables you selected at the local farms, and serve with your paired beverage. Remember to fill up the enclosed fire in the lounge room, it will keep the house nice and toasty! Then set up the board games or cards. For those looking to relax, serve a round of your favorite beverage as you and your group have a lovely conversation on the large outdoor deck and watch as the delightful Vermont sunset announces the conclusion of the day. Then gather around the entertainment center before a restful night’s sleep in the incredibly comfortable beds.
For the creatives, the property will provide plenty of inspiration, peace, and stress-melting relaxation to get that next great idea front in center in your brain, capture it and write it down or paint it before it is gone!
