Well, actually they aren’t the only ones, so are the innkeepers!  The snow is flying. The fire is raging.  We still have openings for Wassail Weekend and Christmas week.  Wassail Weekend kicks off on Friday, December 13.  Don’t miss the Victorian sleigh parade Saturday and the historic house tour where all are decorated for the holidays.  A horse drawn sleigh picks you up at the door of first house and takes you from one house to the next.  Christmas carols on the Green and a bonfire to keep you cozy in the afternoon.

Or just take a break after the holiday is over.  Join us for the January and February doldrums.  Take a load off your mind and relax by our fireplace.  We are waiting for your call!  You won’t be disappointed!

With foliage season about to pass into late Autumn, there is still time to come to Vermont.  While there is still color in the trees late October is more relaxed,  more slow paced. Come on up and sight see all day and then come back and sit in front of the fire.   Doesn’t get much better than this.

Hard to believe the Christmas season is fast approaching.  Wassail Weekend (December 13-15) is a great way to get into the spirit and kick off the holiday.  Victorian sleighs, Christmas caroling on the Green, music venues all around town, historic holiday house tours in the village, we have it all.  Treat yourself to a pre holiday getaway.

We have had the rain and the heat like everybody else on the east coast.  But our lakes and streams are spring fed and very refreshing.  Swim in them, canoe or kayak on them, picnic by them!  The summer offers you all kinds of activities.  Bookstock  on July 28 has reading panels led by current authors, vintage book sales, book art exhibits and food and music on the Village Green.  The Killington Music festival goes on through July on Killington Mountain.   Check out what is happening in the Woodstock area on www.woodstockvt.com.  Treat yourself, you deserve it!  One of our rooms is waiting for you.

Finally Spring has arrived!  The trees have blossomed in an intense shade of green validating the name of our beautiful state, the Green Mountain State.  You cross the border into Vermont and you can’t help but sigh with relief.  We  are in full swing now.   Come enjoy our museums, galleries, historic sites, small independent shops.  Bring your bikes, canoes, kayaks or rent them here.  Drive through the beautiful countryside without ever seeing a billboard, box store or fast food place.  Life is a little slower here.  Do you need to slow down a little?  Come to Vermont.

The holidays are over.  The craziness and rush of the season is finished.  January has set in and with it those winter doldrums.  The cure is a dose of Vermont!  Do something for yourself now.  We have it all- horse drawn sleigh rides, dog sled rides, X-country skiing, downhill skiing, snowshoeing, skating, snowmobiling.  Stay at Deer Brook Inn and all winter sports are at your fingertips.  Come on, you deserve a little getaway and time for yourself.  We look forward to meeting you.

Well, the leaves aren’t green, but here we come a-wassailing! What a way to kick off the Christmas season. December 8, 9 and 10, 2012, demonstrates how the Village of Woodstock welcomes holiday travelers. Come see the live entertainment, the Victorian horse parade, and the caroling on the Village Green. Tour the historic houses all decorated for the holiday season, and attend the holiday crafts fair.

Get into the Spirit before the craziness of the holidays takes over. Come back in time to Woodstock and let the Grinch and Scrooge melt away.

Deer Brook Inn is waiting for your reservation. Come sit by our raging fireplace.
