SIGHTSEEING

Tucked along the shores of spectacular Lake Champlain, the historic town of Shelburne, Vermont, delights visitors with its lush landscapes (think stunning fall foliage) as well as its unique attractions:

• Travel back in time to historic New England with a visit to SHELBURNE MUSEUM. With a steamship, a lighthouse, a blacksmith shop, a print shop, and much more all on the same property, it’s more like five museums in one. Your ticket gets you in for two days (we have a special rate coupon for you!), and there’s enough to see that most people spend a full day here.

• Ever wanted to run with chickens or milk a goat in a classy fashion at a Vanderbilt estate? You can do all that and more at SHELBURNE FARMS, another classic stop in town. In-season (from mid-May to mid-October), the Farms offer cheesemaking tours, guided property tours, wedding and other special events venues, and ten miles of walking trails with views of Lake Champlain.

• Kids of ALL ages (there's no upper age limit) can get their cuddles on at The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory just a little over a mile south of the B&B. American-made, Vermont-strong!

• Walking/hiking/biking trails, Shelburne Town Beach, Shelburne Falls, and other sights await!

EAT & SIP

There are several fantastic restaurants, cafés, and eateries within a short walking distance (or a short drive) from our Inn in Shelburne, VT, offering craft gourmet fare with a local Vermont flair, including gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan friendly dishes (inquire directly):

• Barkeaters: A popular local lunch and dinner spot (Tue-Sat), offering Adirondack-inspired Northeastern cuisine and an impressive selection of beverages. Wednesday Beer'n'Burger Nights are always a big hit!

• (The) Bearded Frog: Known for its eclectic American fare, The Frog is serves creative dinners all seven days a week! Enjoy a Frog Juice (our fave!) or other creative delightful bevvies at the bar as early as 4:30 pm.

• Cucina Antica Bistro: This casual family-friendly Mediterranean-inspired bistro offers Italian and Greek dishes (pastas, pizzas, mezes, opa!) made with locally sourced ingredients Tue-Sun.

• Folino's Pizza (Vermont Artisan Village, a short 1-mile drive drive, if you insist) is sure to work up an appetite for mouthwatering Neapolitan-style wood fired "apizza". This lively counter-served spot is BYOB and provides glasses for your own beer (cheap mass-produced swill or hard liquor, though).

• (Restaurant at The) Inn at Shelburne Farms: One of Vermont's premier farm-to-table restaurants is just a short 3-mile drive from our Inn. Menus are crafted around fresh, local, and addictively delicious ingredients sustainably grown/raised at Shelburne Farms and nearby farming partners. Generously sprinkle glorious lake views and your dinner experience is elevated to a whole another level.

• Peg & Ter's: A new vibrant trendy bar & kitchen in town (think "gastropub built around creative adult bevvies and small plates", not a full-service restaurant). We love its hip yet relaxed, vibrant yet warm atmosphere.

• Rustic Roots: This cozy and warm Chef-owned New American restaurant is a must! Highly unique (and rustic!) breakfasts, brunches, lunches (Wed-Sun) and dinners (Fri-Sat) are made from scratch using the finest ingredients. One of the best Bloody Marys we have ever had worldwide! House-made terrine and pâtés, various creative soups and main courses will be sure to impress a variety of tastes.

• Village Wine & Coffee: A lovely local - you guessed it! - wine and coffee spot. Deliciously made and beautifully presented caffeinated (or not) beverages (mmm, espresso!) and pastries along with a fantastic selection of wines (keep an eye out for afternoon tastings!) are the name of the game here.
