24 Hours in Vermont: Your Stress-Free Itinerary

Apr 29

Guest Blog By Brittany Radtke 


If you think you need a week to experience the best of Vermont, think again. We just wrapped up a whirlwind 24-hour trip, and let me tell you... It was an absolute blast! I know how overwhelming planning can be when you’re short on time, so I’ve done the heavy lifting for you.


I left Vermont feeling so inspired (and very satisfied), and I wanted to share exactly how we made the most of every single minute. Whether you’re a local looking for a weekend trip or visiting from out of state (like my husband and I), I’ve got the perfect itinerary ready for you. No stress, no endless Googling—just grab your keys and go!


Brittany meeting Violet, the Mini Highlander

Stop 1: Exploring Burlington 

We landed in Burlington on a Thursday and went straight to our first restaurant. Our first stop was Guild Tavern, where we had an incredible Surf and Turf with Smoked Cheddar Grits.


For dessert, I insisted on finding Island Homemade Ice Cream. I first discovered them through the weekly Fairmont Market email newsletter, and their selection did not disappoint. It was the perfect "welcome to Vermont" moment.


The Stay: The 1919 Mountain Farmhouse

We spent the night at a stunning Airbnb hosted by my dear friends Ricky and Elizabeth Hall. The 1919 Mountain Farmhouse is truly stunning—cozy, beautifully decorated, and exactly what you imagine a Vermont farmhouse should be. Waking up to the sunrise and the mountains was a highlight of the trip.


Stop 2: Morning in Montpelier

Friday morning was all about the "Smallest State Capital" charm. We grabbed coffee and flaky pastries at Bohemian Bakery before exploring downtown Montpelier, including a fascinating self-led tour at the Vermont Historical Society Museum.


For lunch, we headed to Three Penny Taproom. Since I knew they were one of the local restaurants that serve Fairmont meats, I had to try the burger made with Fairmont Ground Beef. It was fantastic! So juicy and flavorful, easily one of the best burgers we've had.


Stop 3: Sweet Traditions at Morse Farm

You can’t visit Vermont without a maple stop. We popped into Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks for syrup, maple candy, and more. A huge shout-out to them for having "TSA Approved" signage on their syrup sizes—it was so helpful for those of us traveling and made it easy to pick exactly what we could bring home!


Stop 4: Fairmont Farm & Market

Finally, it was time for the main event. We met Bonnie Hall at Fairmont Farm for a quick tour. We saw the dairy calves, the cows, the sheep, and even Violet, the mini Highlander! We also got to see the milking parlor. All the animals seemed so happy, healthy, and clearly well-taken care of.


Our final stop was Fairmont Market at "The Haven." I was so excited to see the market space! It’s amazing how much variety is packed into their space. We saw:

  • The fridge where pickup orders are collected for the public.

  • The market space with Cabot Dairy products and dry storage items like maple syrup and jam.

  • The walk-in freezer, stocked with all the meat products.

Since we still had more traveling to do, we couldn't grab any meat to take back, but we were thrilled that we at least got to have the burger at Three Penny Taproom! I did make sure to grab a Fairmont Market sweatshirt, though.


Final Thoughts

A huge thank you to Bonnie Hall and the team at Fairmont for being so welcoming to us. We can't wait to visit again and see this business continue to grow!

I loved your itinerary for a stress-free day in Vermont! It reminds me of my own trips to cozy spots like monkey market for snacks. What was your favorite moment during the trip?

I had a little spare time after work, so I compared the mobile layouts of several gaming websites instead of judging them from the homepage alone. Jai Club was included in that comparison, and I went through different sections at a normal browsing pace. What I noticed first was that the page arrangement was not difficult to understand, which helped when switching from one area to another. Sameer usually checks this before spending time on any platform because confusing navigation can become irritating quite quickly during regular smartphone use.

I enjoyed the straightforward structure of this game because it makes everything feel more manageable. The menus are clearly organized, and the basic controls are easy to pick up.

Yaar win Game There are several features to explore, giving players some variety during different sessions. The overall design feels friendly to beginners while remaining convenient for regular players who already understand the basics.

Before downloading any application, I prefer checking the basic file information rather than treating the download button as the entire process. While looking at Tiranga game download, I considered things such as the source, device compatibility, permissions, and available storage. Saurav usually checks these points before installing an APK because problems with compatibility are easier to prevent than fix. Taking a minute to understand the file can make the installation process more predictable.

I find gaming websites more useful when they keep their important information easy to reach. Visitors should not have to open several unrelated pages before finding the answer they need. Logical categories and relevant internal links can make navigation much simpler. I also prefer websites where the page structure remains consistent. Familiar layouts reduce confusion and help returning visitors move around quickly. Good organization can improve the experience without adding complicated features.
