Hot Take:
Vermont, once famous for its picturesque setting in “White Christmas,” is now sweeping the nation as the go-to place for home shoppers with an eye for charm, amenities, and a sprinkle of tranquility. It’s like the ultimate package deal – bundle up with beautiful landscapes, a sense of community, and an easy drive to Burlington for those necessary city escapades. You can almost hear the sigh relief from telecommuters nationwide!
Now, if you’re someone who’d rather snuggle up beside a fire than scramble amidst skyscrapers, small-town Vermont might be calling your name. It’s like a scene straight out of a Hallmark movie – except, you won’t find Candace Cameron Bure waiting around the corner. But hey, you will find food trucks, and that’s way better!
Peruse quaint boutiques, relish locally-sourced delicacies, and savor a sip of ‘responsibly produced’ craft beer. That’s an average Saturday in towns like Stowe, Woodstock, Middlebury, and Manchester. So, this isn’t just about changing zip codes, ladies and gents, this is about a lifestyle upgrade. It’s good vibes only in these towns!
In the Internet-era of WFH and Zoom gloom, these little Vermont havens are a breath of fresh air (literally and metaphorically). So, consider this your Hogwarts-style invitation and let Vermont’s charming small towns cast their spell on you if you dare!
Note: While Vermont’s small towns are magical, they’ve yet to succeed in Apparition, so a decent car is still recommended for those city visits. Also, you might want to stock up on flannels – this isn’t the tropics, folks!
