It's "Stick Season" here in Vermont!
I love our "Stick Season" here in Vermont! Really... I do... we even get a chance to enjoy it since it isn't so busy... feel free to come up and enjoy it as well... lots of rooms and great rates... just check availability... pick out your room... and book right online... lots left for Thanksgiving too... and... at Value Season rates, plus Last Minute Coupon... the mountains are open... much more snow will come... there will be lots of skiing going on... not just Stowe but Smuggs and Jay as well... and great cross country up in Craftsbury.... love to hear from you... some bookings already in for Christmas in Vermont!
always an exciting transition..... :)
We go thru this every year... it is always the same.... the transition from having virtually every room full for 3 weeks... a transition to what seems like all activity of any kind comes grinding to a halt... :).....we go from that almost 100% occupancy of Foliage Season craziness to a whole lot of rooms available.... a very real "withdrawal" experience, especially since Foliage comes directly out of a summer of averaging over 50% occupancy that seems to start around the middle of June, the moment the kids are finished with school... and we love every minute of it... must say though it's nice to have a little more "quiet time" to catch up on all the yard work of the season change... and our "spring cleaning" routine that we do every fall... :)
It's over when it's over....!
And for sure it is over... foliage season has drawn to a close in the Lamoille Valley... the color is still beautiful in the Champlain Valley and it is heading South... there are still a zillion good reasons to come up and visit us here in Morrisville... never a bad time to visit Vermont... :) and the rates just went down for the rest of October and will go down again on November 1st as our value season begins....
final week of our foliage season!
Our foliage season here at Village Victorian officially comes to a close on October 14th... it also is the date when we have some rooms available once again...then our regular season rates go into effect on the 15th and continue for the rest of the month... the color here in the Lamoille Valey has peaked... now it is a question of just how long will it stay beautiful... we shall see... you can check the color at the Foliage Network for updates throughout Vermont at this link: foliagenetwork.com ... click on their foliage reorts....
Start thinking about our quieter times here in Vermont as we head towards our Value Season starting on November 1st. Just enjoy a little escape to an always beautiful Vermont at very reasonable rates.
Foliage is peaking here...right on time!
It has been the best color in years... the guests keep bringing back glowing reports... wish we had more rooms to sell but only two room nights left during foliage... still availability at our Shadow Lake Cottage for this next week... it is just past peak up there but still gorgeous... the week after foliage kinda depends on the weather but usually is just receding in intensity and brightness as the leaves start to fall more seriously... plenty of availability the week of October 14th.... come on up... enjoy a little escape.... :)
