Sugarbush Resort. Also, if you go make sure to check out the
Vermont Country Store across the street.
The Pitcher Inn looks amazing (about what I'd expect of a Relais & Chateaux place), but is about double the cost of Shelburne (also what I'd expect
).
Thanks all! I've booked the Vineyard Cottage at Shelburne. I'll let you know how it goes.
