We just spent a few glorious days in Woodstock, Vermont, staying at the Woodstock Inn. This is our fourth visit and much of the same staff were in attendance. You know a place treats it’s employees well when they stay on year after year.
We also spent some time just up the road at the Billings Farm and Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Park, touring the original estate mansion. (the main large home you’ll see in the photos below). We stopped briefly at The Vermont Country Store- do you get the catalog? So fun to browse the old fashioned clothes, soaps, candies, flannels, pj’s, blankets, dishwear, natural remedies of days gone by (that still work!)
I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

Ladybird Johnson slept in this room when visiting, having been a friend of the Billings-Rockefellers at the time.
The pool house, with greenhouses behind it.
It was a wonderful, peaceful, easy-going kind of weekend. We consumed ridiculous amounts of really good food, (good thing we did a lot of walking) some good hearty laughter and some drink, enjoyed fantastic fall weather and good company, mom and our son and future DIL having joined us. It’s a beautiful thing.
I hope all is well in your part of the world – thank you for stopping by. 🍂🍁
