Winter in the Northeast Kingdom! 

Winter has arrived in the Northeast Kingdom! With early snow this season it is time to switch gears and that means changing gear!  Put away those bikes, hiking shoes and swimsuits, and dust off your skis, boards, snowshoes, ice climbing equipment and of course the snowmobiles. One thing you can keep out is your fishing pole – ice fishing is very popular on lake Willoughby, just trade in the canoe for a shanty and you are good to go!

The WilloughVale is a four-season Inn, a perfect home base for all your winter adventures. When the lake freezes over the activity continues with ice fishing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. Along the edge of the lake you can ice climb up Mt. Pigah, one of the most renowned climbing experiences in the Northeast, although this is not for the novice climber, experience is a must for scaling the 300’ steep cliff walls.

For the snowmobiling enthusiasts the Inn is conveniently located on the VAST trail. Be sure to ask about our VAST Member Discounts - offered all season long!

After a busy day of winter adventures, return to your room or cottage at the Inn, relax and take in the sweeping view of Lake Willoughby, equally breathtaking in every season.

Fall in the Northeast Kingdom!

When you think of fall foliage - you picture the vibrant colors across the mountains and hills of Vermont. The Northeast Kingdom is the quintessential place to take in the autumn beauty by foot, horseback, bike or car.

Hike Mt. Pisgah & Mt. Hor where you will get the dramatic view of Lake Willoughby. Other great hikes include Wheeler Mountain and Bald Mountain.

Enjoy the beauty of the landscape on horseback! DND Stables in East Burke offers 1.5 hour guided fall foliage horseback rides.

For bike riding in the fall Kingdom Trails offers an extensive network of scenic recreational trails constructed to accommodate all levels of ability.

Hop in your car and drive the winding roads through the hills of the Kingdom. We can help with suggested drives and fun stops along the way.

However you choose to explore the spectacular foliage that the Northeast Kingdom has to offer you will not be disappointed. The best way may be to simply sit back and take in the view from your room or cottage at the WilloughVale Inn!
