Isabelle & Luke
Things To Do
Woodstock Farmers' Market
Great stop for sandwiches, baked goods, and coffee, local grocery options and produce.
Long Trail Brewing Company
0.1 miles from the venue! Local brew pub located on the banks of the Ottauquechee River.
Village Butcher Shop
A great place to grab sandwiches or stock up on local grocery items.
Abracadabra Coffee Co.
A funky coffee shop and one on the way into town. Try the hottie horchata!
Mon Vert Cafe
Cozy cafe in downtown Woodstock for breakfast or lunch.
Worthy Kitchen
Casual, fun spot for a yummy local burger and craft beers.
Au Comptoir
Located down an alleyway in Woodstock, VT you will find this (tiny) bar with fresh drinks, snacks and an amazing atmosphere.
Killington Resort
Our favorite ski resort! In med school, we'd go ski/study at Killington from October through June! In the summer you'll find excellent mountain biking, hiking, alpine slides, good restaurants, bars, and more!
Billings Farm & Museum National Historic Park
Billings Farm & Museum is just a scenic stroll from the village center of Woodstock, Vermont, and is regarded as one of the finest outdoor history museums in the country.
VINS Nature Center
Explore the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) Nature Center, a 47-acre facility in Quechee featuring live bird exhibits, nature trails, and the unique Forest Canopy Walk. It's an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts to learn about avian wildlife and enjoy the scenic beauty of Vermont's woodlands.
Andrew Pearce Bowls
Beautiful hand-crafted, locally-sourced, world-famous wood kitchen-ware, made just down the hill from Luke's parents' place in Hartland, Vermont!
Simon Pearce
Visit the world-famous glassblowing 'factory' to watch master artisans at work! Have lunch on the balcony overlooking the waterfall in which Isabelle & Luke shared their first kiss! Climb under the bridge to find the best swimming hole in the world.
Mount Tom
An easy to moderate 4.2 mile out and back hike that starts right in the town of Woodstock with nice views of the town and surrounding hills at the top!
Gile Mountain
Easy 1.4 mile out and back hike that ends at a fire tower with beautiful 360 views. Low effort to high reward! The hike is only 20 minutes from Dartmouth and was a very frequent, quick study break for us to get out into nature! (40 minutes from Woodstock, Dartmouth is on the way if you wanted to see the campus)
Mount Ascutney
Moderate 6.8 mile hike with beautiful 360 views at the top! A classic hike in the area that we came back to at least once a year in medical school. In 1995, Luke was featured in the local newspaper at the age of 3 for winning the prize awarded to the youngest hiker to climb to the top of Mount Ascutney! (45 minutes from Woodstock)
Mount Cardigan
Easy to moderate 2.8 mile out and back with fantastic sweeping 360 views! Low to moderate effort to high reward! One of our favorites to watch the fireworks on the Fourth of July or to admire the fall foliage. (55 minutes from Woodstock)
Mount Moosilauke
6.9 mile moderate to hard hike that starts and ends at the Moosilauke Lodge, which is owned by Dartmouth! A classic Dartmouth hike that most Dartmouth undergrad and medical school students summit as part of their orientation! The view is usually better than the one in the photo, but we both would say it was worth it anyway! (1 hour and 20 minutes from Woodstock)
Franconia Ridge
Our absolute favorite hike in the area! A challenging 8.6 mile hike with an ascent up Little Haystack Mountain crossing back and forth across a waterfall followed by a ridge line walk across Mount Lincoln to Mount Lafayette and a descent back to the parking lot. Please be mindful of the weather before embarking on this adventure as the weather in the White Mountains can change quickly. (2 hours from Woodstock)
