Happy Birthday to the Vermont's Northeast Kingdom!

November marks the birthdate of the Northeast Kingdom - come help us celebrate! U.S. Senator George Aiken gave birth to Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom in 1949 – well, at least he gave birth to the name. A frequent visitor to the region, the Vermont senator coined the name because of the beauty of the region’s working landscape. "You know, this is such beautiful country up here, it should be called the Northeast Kingdom,” he exclaimed. Come and see for yourself just how right he was. A memorable Vermont Vacation awaits you in the Kingdom!

Winter fun is on the way! There's even a glimpse of snow atop the mountain peaks. Many of our Hotels, Inns, B & B’s, and Cottages are offering some great late season deals.
