A quintessential Vermont village–not the now common “Vermont-inspired” village–complete with white steeples and a country store. The kind of place where logging trucks still share the road with SUVs filled with ski families up for the week.
like one.
In the town center you find places where the jokes are old, but still told. Where the coffee generally comes in two flavors–and the other one is decaf. Where that coffee washes down donuts delivered fresh and still warm from the bakery down the road. Where the bread is made every morning. After a day spent outside, you’ll find chef-owned restaurants that turn ingredients from the surrounding farmlands into dishes you’d expect to find in Boston or Montreal. You’ll find ice-cold, craft brews served with a warm bowl of something made that day. In certain barns turned studios, craftspeople share their wares to those who stop in. And dotting the surrounding woods and farmlands, you’ll find picture-perfect inns and B&Bs–where to the owner, every guest is a VIP.
In our neighboring town of Lyndonville, there are more shops and restaurants, a brew pub, local hotels and the “big” grocery store where you can stock up on your first day.
If you’re looking for overcrowded souvenir shops selling that same brand of faux Vermont (Fauxmont?), you won’t find them here. You won’t find corporate coffee bars or theme restaurants. You won’t find minor celebrities pining for attention. If you’re looking for that experience, go west or south or east. But you won’t find it in our town, not in the home of True North.
The kind you don’t find too often anymore.
Especially around a mountain with over 2000’ of vertical.
