I've Lived in New England for 24 Years-This Charming Small Town in Vermont Is the Best Place to See Fall Foliage

"30 minutes west of Lebanon, New Hampshire, is the cute-as-a-button town of Woodstock, Vermont. As the fall season ramps up, there's nothing more fulfilling to me than visiting a place where the air is filled with the smell of mulled apples, maple syrup, and the crisp cool of autumn. I've been heading north from New York City and Boston to Vermont since I was a kid. Now, I have a family of my own, and the Green Mountain State has become our little escape."

""I love talking to the thousands of visitors we have. Most have never seen foliage and love our beautiful town and Vermont in general," says Elizabeth Finlayson, director of the Woodstock Area Chamber of Commerce. According to Finlayson, the town of just 3,000 residents sees a monthly average of 23,800 visitors in the fall."

"Across from Woodstock's Green is the Woodstock Inn & Resort. The aesthetic here feels timelessly charming, and rooms range from options that overlook the inn's gardens to the three-room Laurance S. Rockefeller Suite that has thoughtful details such as hand-painted murals and a walk-in cedar closet."
