"Christina Tree is New England's premier guidebook author" —Yankee Magazine This completely revised, expanded, and updated twelfth edition covers all corners of the Green Mountain State from its vibrant arts scene to its quiet country roads, the austerity of the Northeast Kingdom, and all points in between.

"It's possible to jump on a highway and zip past picturesque church steeples rising from the greenery, but 'Inns & Adventures' will make you slow down, explore, and stay the night. Adventures include such activities as white-water kayaking, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, hidden swimming spots, and the thrill of discovering lesser-known countryside. For history buffs, unusual events from favorite inns and regions are also profiled, so readers can 'meet' the innkeepers and learn why the author found these inns the perfect destination after a day outdoors."--Page 4 of cover.
