Spring Newsletter

For our entire lives we have always assumed that in order to experience Vermont, you had to travel several hours into the state to experience most of what Vermont has to offer.  That all changed when we moved to Wilmington.  As many of you know, Wilmington is located in Southern Vermont & an easy drive to all major cities on the East Coast. Visiting us here is an easy way to escape the hustle and bustle of the real world.

As new transplants to Southern Vermont, we had little knowledge that there were tons of adventures & events in the Deerfield Valley all year long.  Every guest that we interacted with this winter had no idea that the Deerfield Valley had so many fun activities in the summer and fall. So we decided to take on the important task & educate everyone on upcoming activities & events.

Activities 

Right now while you are sitting in your office or riding the subway from work, start dreaming about your next adventure.  Where can you escape to that you don't have to drive all night for 2 days of fun.  One of the benefits of the Deerfield Valley is that it offers lots of adventures in the immediate area of the Inn!  In order to keep everyone reading, here are some easy bullets about the various things to do this summer & fall!
