Beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont

Usually, when we tell someone we are going to Vermont for the weekend their response runs something like this, "Oh we love Vermont...where are you heading?" Our response, quite often in unison, is "The Northeast Kingdom". This is almost always followed by blank stares and confusion.... most of you have never heard of it.

The Northeast Kingdom of Vermont...truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. If you have been to Vermont but have not been to The Kingdom, then you have not experienced the real Vermont. Located in the remote northeast corner of the state, it has managed to allude the over development of it's more southernly sister. It has been called "the Vermonters' Vermont" and when you visit you will understand why.

One of the first things that struck us about the Northeast Kingdom was how spectacular the views and vistas were. With dizzying effects you will often find yourself on a third class dirt road gazing down into a lush green valley with distant mountain tops to cap it all off. Every bend in the road brings with it sighs of wonder and awe. The Kingdom is an outdoorsman's(or woman's) dream come true. With rivers to paddle, trials to hike and bike, mountains to ski, and streams and lakes to fish in, one is hard pressed not to find something to do.


But don't be fooled into thinking that the great outdoors is all that The Kingdom has to offer. It is also home to many an interesting gallery, a multitude of museums and fabulous restaurants. With such eclectic businesses as the Down to Earth Worm Farm in Greensboro Bend and The Red Sky Trading shop in Glover, even the shopper in you will be satisfied. And after a day of hiking, shopping, eating and gallery perusing, you can attend to your spiritual and emotional health with a stay at the Stepping Stone Spa and Wellness Center in Lyndonville.



My husband and I have been vacationing in the Northeast Kingdom for seven years now. So taken by this little piece of heaven , we purchased a home(vacation) there is 2001. We have a saying between us..."living the dream" and how true it is when your in The Northeast Kingdom.
