Things To Do

If you're new to the area, here are a few places nearby that you might want to check out during your visit. Feel free to contact us if you need specific recommendations for restaurants and accommodations.

Burlington's Waterfront Park

20 Lake Street, Burlington, VT 05401
, (802) 865-7247

Take a walk on the boardwalk and enjoy the view. Great place to get some exercise and/or have a meal on the lake.

Church Street Marketplace

Burlington, VT 05401

This is the street that Burlington is known for. Lots of shopping, restaurants, bars, music and people-watching.

Pine Street and South End

Pine Street, Burlington, VT 05401

You can walk or drive up and down Pine Street and taste-test all our local craft beers. We recommend Zero Gravity, Switchback and Burlington Beer Company. The area is also home to a huge festival called the South End Art Hop on September 9-11.

Shelburne Museum

6000 Shelburne Rd, Shelburne, VT 05482

This is a full-day excursion and worth it! American folk art. French Impressionist paintings. Historic New England architecture. Duck decoys, circus animals, and dolls. These were just some of the some of the interests of Shelburne Museum founder Electra Havemeyer Webb.

Shelburne Farms

1611 Harbor Road, Shelburne, VT 05482
, (802) 985-8686

Sure, the baby farm animals are cute and all, but we like this place for the historic inn on the lakeshore. Ask if you can look around and enjoy the grounds. Don't miss the cheddar cheese. Don once took a class here and made his own!

Mt. Philo State Park

5425 Mount Philo Road, Charlotte, VT 05445

This peak is very accessible, you can even drive up if you don't want to hike. The view of Lake Champlain from the top is Instagram gold. If it's a clear day and you're in the vicinity, give it a shot!

Vermont Cookie Love

6915 U.S. 7, Ferrisburgh, VT 05473
, (802) 425-8181

Consistently the best place to get ice cream on Rt. 7. They make everything in-house and sell their cookies (and dough) at all the local grocery stores. You will not be disappointed.

Falls of Lana

Salisbury, VT 05769

Another easy hike where you walk along a winding waterfall and end up with a view overlooking a mountain lake. We suggest bringing a picnic and having a very lazy day in the woods.

A&W

1557 U.S. 7, Middlebury, VT 05753
, (802) 388-2876

This joint is a bit far from Burlington, but if you're in the Middlebury area, A&W is a real summer treat — especially if you're never been served food in your car by a rollerskating server. Don & Shawn make a pilgrimage at least once each summer.

Lake Champlain Bridge

Addison, VT 05491

If you're traveling from New York state into Vermont via Rt 9N, be sure to cross the Lake Champlain Bridge from Crown Point. Don's great grandfather was a blacksmith who helped build the original bridge (demolished in 2009) and Don's dad used to fish in this bay as a youngster. Lots of Eggert-Winters history in Addison County, VT.
