December in Vermont

Under Winter’s Blanket

Once the first real snowfall touches Vermont, December takes on a distinctly different rhythm. The Green Mountains brighten, the air feels sharp and invigorating, and the village comes alive beneath a soft light as we prepare for the Holidays. The moment you step back inside from the cold, the season shifts: fires crackle, meals comfort, and every space feels inviting. From serene mornings on the trails to evenings tucked into a warm bed, we invite you to embrace the heart of winter at the Woodstock Inn & Resort.
