❄️ Winter — Après, Reimagined

Winter in Vermont is both exhilarating and deeply cozy.

Days unfold outdoors — skiing and snowboarding at nearby Mount Snow, snowshoeing through quiet wooded trails, fat biking across snowy terrain, and cross-country skiing at Timber Creek. Tubing, sledding, and scenic winter walks round out days that feel active, fresh, and deeply connected to the landscape.

As the day winds down, the best part begins.

• Easy, warm entry for winter gear
• Hot cocoa, tea, and après-ski drinks
• Board games, movie nights, and quiet winter rituals
• Fireside evenings that invite everyone to gather

After the slopes, the best part of the day happens at home.

🌿 Summer — Mountain Air & Easy Days

Summer in the mountains is all about fresh air, open landscapes, and time outdoors.

Days invite movement and exploration — mountain biking and hiking along nearby trails, scenic chairlift rides with sweeping views, and tee times at the Mount Snow Golf Club. Nearby rivers offer opportunities to cool off and enjoy the slower rhythm of warm-weather days.

Long daylight hours make space for relaxed schedules, shared meals, and evenings that stretch effortlessly into night.

🌿 🌸 Spring — Quiet Mountain Reset

Spring arrives gently in the mountains, bringing fresh air, open landscapes, and a sense of renewal.

Trails feel especially peaceful this time of year, perfect for long walks and easy hikes surrounded by budding trees and open views. Nearby farms begin to awaken as well — with early blooms, open fields, and the arrival of spring animals, offering simple, seasonal moments that feel distinctly Vermont.

Days are ideal for scenic drives along quiet roads, visiting local farms and markets as they reopen, or enjoying slow mornings and fresh starts back at the house.

• Easygoing days with room to wander

• Peaceful trails and open landscapes

• Spring farms, early blooms, and animal sightings

• Cozy mornings and long breakfasts

• Time to read, rest, and reconnect

A season shaped by fresh starts, open space, and the simple pleasure of being outside.
