Vermont Life & Living

New England is home to some of America’s most noted history. For example: The midnight ride of Paul Revere took place along the Massachusetts coastline; The 6,250′ summit of New Hampshire’s Mt. Washington (New England’s highest peak) was first sighted by Sebastian Cabot during his Atlantic voyage; And, the quaint New England Village of Vergennes, Vermont is the third-oldest incorporated city in the United States, being succeeded only by Hartford and New Haven, Connecticut.

It is no wonder then that people are flocking to the northeastern United States in search of year-round and vacation homes, hunting camps, beach front condos, development land, and business opportunities.

Locals and visitors agree that when you come indoors you will find warm and gracious New England hospitality. Country inns and bed and breakfast inns dapple New England’s back roads, and full-service destination resorts speckle the hills and valleys – all offering guests unsurpassed accommodations, dining, and activities.

And, though contemplating New England living conjures up visions of its beautiful countryside and quaint villages, New England is also home to many large cities that offer all the metropolitan opportunities for art and culture, business and industry, that are found nation-wide.

What makes New England living so special and unique? The true four season environment, gracious hospitality, the nostalgia of our American history, and the romantic ambience of our quaint New England villages, is found here, in this timeless place – a place set-apart from the rest of the world.
