Food Scene
Fantastic farm-to-table dining with exactly what you would expect for Vermont farm-to-table ambiance. There is a gorgeous covered porch wrapped in wisteria for when the weather is nice, and a huge stone hearth to keep you toasty in the winter. Brunch on weekends.

Parks & Nature
The trailhead to this amazing trail is within walking distance of the house and is definitely my favorite local hike. I had gone hiking here with a school group when I was 17 and didn't realize until AFTER I bought the house that this was the same Pinnacle trail... at which point I felt like I had won the lottery. The hike up to the Pinnacle lean-to and back is about three miles and with a mix of walk/running usually takes me under an hour, but the trails go on for miles beyond, along the ridge so you could use the house as a base camp for a long backpacking trip or go for several different longer hikes during your stay.

Shopping
My favorite antique store, that I'm hesitant to send anyone to because I don't want it to get picked over. Very reasonable prices and museum-like decor that will hold your attention for hours on a rainy day.
