Destination Description

Vermont’s population of more than 625,000 makes it the second-least-populated state in the country—a fact that leaves much of its area appealingly untouched by development. Instead, you’ll find stretches of rolling hills, mountains, farms and villages, as well as some of the nation’s finest dairy products and, of course, maple syrup. Its meeting venues are scattered throughout the state, in areas including Burlington, Stowe, Woodstock and Killington.

Known for being the greener, quieter and, in recent years, more liberal element that makes up New England, Vermont has long been a favorite for bed and breakfasting and weekends away.  With its close proximity, but night-and-day difference in appearance from nearby metropolitan areas, Vermont is a beautiful place to spend a few days. Get back to nature in the lush green landscape, or make a weekend of it by choosing one of the quaint cottage destinations that define the state.
