Stowe is one of Vermont’s most idyllic ski towns… and there are ample opportunities for self care at area spas. The experience at The Calm Company, just off the Mountain Road, is unique and special however. The one-of-a-kind soothing space features a private barrel sauna, cold plunge, and […]
Growing up, my mom used to always tell my sister and me that the most important thing in life and the best investment is education… since no one can ever take it away from you. Fast forward many years into my career, I have attended extensive professional development, […]
No matter what season you’re visiting Vermont in, every town and city is worth a visit for the unique sights, restaurants, breweries, cafes, shops, and experiences within them that define them. Here are 7 over-overlooked towns for an authentic Vermont afternoon visit… And what to do in each […]
Vermont ski resorts and towns are not only enjoyed during the winter! There are many quaint ski towns that this non-skier believes are even better enjoyed in the peak of fall foliage season. Gondola and single chair rides, hiking and biking, orchards and pumpkin patches, galleries and shopping… […]
It’s no secret that Hen of the Wood is my favorite restaurant in Vermont. For years, it has been on my Vermont bucket list to have dinner in the acclaimed Butcher Room, a private dining experience for 6-12 on a butcher-block table off of the kitchen at Hen. […]

When I lived in Middlebury, I would frequently take the Appalachian Gap over to Fayston, Waitsfield, and Warren to explore in my favorite valley in Vermont… The Mad River Valley. I remember one distinct day in 2014. It was a summer afternoon in August, and I stopped at […]
One of my favorite things about traveling through Vermont is finding hidden gems. Mendon, a town situated between Rutland, Chittenden, and Killington with a population of just over 1,000, is best known for Vermont Maple Sugar and Spice. But, there is another compelling reason to visit in Mendon, […]
I’m a big fan of trying unique spa treatments around Vermont, especially with my goal of prioritizing more self care this year. And every facial or massage I try is a wholly unique experience. The products and techniques they use, along with the environment they offer, really makes […]
I am not a skier, and I never will be. In fact, I’ve never even been on skis. I’ve only ever snowboarded once in my life. The last (and only time) I was on a board, I decided I can still enjoy Vermont winters from the comfort of […]
Ever since I spent time working at a luxury dude ranch in Montana, I have a fondness for log-style lodges with grand—yet cozy— interiors. Imagine my delight when we arrived at Johnny Seesaw’s for dinner on the grounds of the recently renovated Seesaw’s Lodge in Peru, Vermont. The […]
I have traveled through Bennington, Vermont, the southwestern entrance to the Green Mountain state, many times. Admittedly, however, I had never spent much time exploring Bennington.
