Traveler reviews
★★★★★
About as pretty as a New England village gets, especially with the foliage out. Quechee Gorge was a great quick stop on the way in.

Skied Suicide Six for a relaxed half-day then wandered the village green. Lovely, low-key winter trip.
Tom B. · February 2023
★★★★☆
Stayed at a farmhouse outside town, visited Billings Farm with the kids, and ate very well. A really restful few days.
