We had a busy Summer and Fall, hosting the inn-to-inn walking tours as one of four inns meeting guests from near (Vermont) or far (Australia). The intrepid walkers head out each day on a route of 8-10 miles on the back roads of our area. Dinner is served every night that we have walkers and if you would like to join them for dinner while you are here you are more than welcome to do so. The walkers bring some fascinating stories from their travels and are fun to host!
