Hiking

Mount Tom - Located in Marsh Billings Rockefeller Park and has over 20 miles of trails available to explore. The Faulkner trail is a favorite (the trailhead is a short walk from the inn through the covered bridge). The trail is to the top includes a special view the village Woodstock. Continue on to the Pogue, a beautiful 14-acre pond located within the park, or make your way back down the Faulkner Trail – depending on the amount of time you want to spend on your hike.


Mount Peg - Steps from the Inn, Mt. Peg features lovely hiking with rolling hills.


Deer Leap – Dip your toe in the Appalachian Trail with this short hike that offers a dramatic reward. About a 30 minute drive from the Inn and near Killington resort, this 2-mile trail leads to a rocky outcrop that overlooks the north side of Sherburne Pass.

Shopping

The Woodstock area offers nationally-known pottery and glass. Simon Pearce in Quechee, Farmhouse Pottery in Woodstock, and Miranda Thomas Pottery in Bridgewater have unique styles that are artistic and functional -- and all are located on Rte. 4.
