The Original Vermont Airbnb
Before Airbnb was a thing, we were hosting guests at our very own Snow Farm Inn in South Hero, Vermont, built in the 1820s. While you won’t find us on Airbnb, you can learn more on our website and book directly by emailing us.
The allure of our Vermont inn is our charming farmhouse and our nearby vineyard and maple sugaring operation; both a short walk down the road.
Step out the back door and you’ll be on Lake Champlain on your own private beach. Or, leave from the inn on your bicycle to ride on paved roads that connect to the Champlain Bikeway, a series of bike trails through the Champlain Islands that also connect to the city of Burlington.
