Reader Comments on Vermont: The Green Mountain State from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:54:02 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/travel/vermont I love Vermont. The Mountains, animals,scenic views, covered bridges. A good Bed and Breakfast ids the Carriage House of Woodstock, Vermont. I went there for a few days in October 2007.

We were looking for a special place to picnic and found Jamaica State Park, I believe it was a little bit north of Brattleboro. October is the best time, before they open the dam, as the small river that runs along the park is spectacular. We went back two years later in May, but the river was high and you couldn't walk down to the banks. I love New England in general, but that was a very special memory for both of us.

Visits and vacations just don't do it anymore.

As I start to wind up a nearly ten-year stretch of living in the San Francisco Bay Area, city life has grown tiresome, and memories of crisp, fresh Fall air, vibrant blue skies, brilliant foliage colors, endless snowy days of dazzling sunshine, and the smell of a wood-burning stove are all making me homesick. Well, in 2014, I will be back in the Green Mountain State, a state that has been my home (on and off) since 1978. Yankee Readers look for my new B&B, which will be opening sometime in the late Fall/early Winter of 2014/2015, in South Newfane, Vt, located between Brattleboro and the Mount Snow Ski Resort. Website launch is planned for mid-Fall 2014. I can't wait! It will be so good to come home! Ben A. Schaeffer, future proprietor of Ben's Rainbow House B&B, South Newfane, Vt.

Route 7 and Route 7A Historical are not only historical routes that the Ethan Allen Boys walked and rode, but have some of the finest scenery, antiques, restaurants, independently owned motels/hotels/inn, independent book stores and as voted by Yankee readers--the #1 and #2 Foliage towns-Manchester VT and Middlebury, VT. Designer Outlets, finest skiing in the Northeast and yet-FORGOTTEN ON OUR VT MAP! Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:55:24 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/travel/vermont Vermont will be open for business this foliage season, Irene notwithstanding. We are working as hard as anyone can to put our roads and bridges back together. Go to www.aot.state.vt.us for a Google map showing closures, reopened roads, and bridges out. Above all, please be patient with us, observe all road signs, and be courteous. We\'re going to be bruised for a long time, but we\'ll welcome your smiling faces. Just be gentle and don\'t expect too much. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Sun, 04 Sep 2011 02:58:59 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/travel/vermont We love the Wilmington Mt Snow area. We know of at a fantastic B&B the Nutmeg Inn. if you have AAA or are a teacher or a senior they give you a 10% DISCOUNT.
