A blend of Yankee and Quebecois cultures, Vermont's Northeast Kingdom offers a glimpse of your grandparents' New England. Rolling country roads wind past spectacular lakes, farms, and evergreen forests. Our home base is the Mountain View Farm Inn, nestled on the grounds of a 19th-century gentleman's farm, where 440 acres of wild and pastoral lands meet. The hiking and biking trails on the Inn’s property are part of the nationally acclaimed Kingdom Trails, which provide some of the most breathtaking hilltop views in Vermont. Our 6-day tour is designed to offer guests an intriguing, and relaxing, multi-active Vermont experience.
