General Comment: People from urban and suburban areas are sometimes surprised by how "remote" Vermont can seem, especially when they are traveling at night. There are not a lot of streets. Outside of the larger towns, there are rarely street lights, and almost no 24 hour businesses. Many roads are narrow and winding (but the roads to our home are all paved), and directional signs and road signs are often small. The directions below have been written with as much care and precision as possible. Especially if you are coming at night, please follow directions carefully. We will have the barn light and porch light on. Note - Map Quest has not provided reliable directions.
