When one thinks of Vermont, the images of open fields and pastures filled with cows, integrity and purity come to mind. Tourism is quickly replacing agriculture, but it is still the big red barns, hand-picked stone-wall-lined fields, covered bridges and tractors haying in the fields that guests are coming to enjoy.

Historic Bridge Street in Waitsfield is the first local landmark on your directions. The imagined quintessential Vermont town now becomes reality... a covered bridge, a country bakery, a specialty teddy bear shop. Shopping our Vermont craft fairs and galleries is one of the favorite activities of visitors.

    On Saturday and Sunday, we offer Round Barn Snowshoe Tours for $25 per person!

Snowshoeing is very easy to do, no prior experience is necessary. It's a great way to "work off those Round Barn pancakes" and enjoy the fresh air and snow. Private group tours and extended day tours as well as advanced terrain tours may be arranged!
