Brattleboro is cool if you want to avoid skiers. To me Brattleboro feels like a little Burlington. Burlington is always an option.

Gotta find an authentic BnB right? I know near Jay Newport and Derby there are some awesome places!

Why not Montreal? Yes a bit out of state but it feels very foreign and is a great escape. Like going to Europe to honeymoon but only a 3 hour drive. Quebec city is also wonderful but a bit further and can be very very cold

Stowe is beautiful in the winter in my opinion. My then fiancé / now wife stayed at a Bed & Breakfast and loved it.

It’s beautiful just prepare for the crowds and traffic. If you’re looking for more of a serene, away-from-people experience look for BnBs in Eden or Craftsbury.

Avoid in the winter if you are looking for something chill. Unless sitting in 4 hour lines of traffic is your thing

Where are the 4 hour lines of traffic in the winter? Longest I’ve ever been caught in traffic was going over smugglers notch when the leaf peepers were here, and that was like 45min…

Stowe if you can swing it and don't mind people from New Jersey and Mass. Jay for a cheaper option, but with French Canadians and a water park.

Really depends what you're looking for. Woodstock is great. I'd always recommend. Or heat to West Dover and stay at the farm road estate. Really great property

Woodstock is such a cool little anomaly. I rode around there this summer on a motorcycle and was really surprised. The main strips were full of people, and all the brick and stone buildings were interesting. Also an impressive amount of restaurants and galleries all packed together. I'll have to do more than a ride-through next time.

Yeah, it's such a great town. And one of the best parts, all the power lines in downtown are buried. Next time you're there, take some of the side roads up into the hills. Mostly dirt roads, but well kept for the most part.

Dirt roads up in the hills is by far and away my favorite thing about Vermont!

Have you not ever been outside of rutland

jackington17 OP t1_ivp0rug wrote

I have. But I would like opinions from people in state on where to go. Also, not everyone is privileged enough to get to travel far from their hometown or where they settle… try to remember that when making comments like this. While I may be asking just to get more ideas, someone may actually not have had the opportunity to get out or travel much.

Rutland pretty much centrally located in the state. You could travel to any other part of it and still not "travel far".

jackington17 OP t1_ivseuad wrote

I do know where Rutland is located and that is still kind of assuming people have the privilege. Even central to the state, there are things that are indeed far and very expensive so not everyone gets to travel often. I’m not sure why this is even a debate. I’m simply asking for ideas from other Vermonters because I like to try new things… and even if someone hasn’t traveled much regardless of the reason it shouldn’t be an issue, should it?
