Sometimes you experience a place in Vermont that is so incredible, it seems a bit surreal. We are fortunate to have all these places, both natural and man-made, at hand to see the postcard-worthy scenes that are so perfect that it’s straight out of our imagination. Let’s take a look at some of the places in Vermont that are so picturesque it’s breathtaking. From castles to farmhouses to gardens to rivers, there is simply no place like Vermont.
- Farmhouses

- Beautiful Nests
Flickr/Kent McFarland Check out the beautiful colored eggs in this Hermit Thrush nest spotted in the Northeast Kingdom.
- Wildflowers in the brook.

- Hildene Gardens
Flickr/Bradjward The Lincoln family home is worth the trip, but if you can see the gardens when the peonies are blooming, it’s magical!
- Fairy House.
Flickr/Patrick You may find a fairy house or two at the Vermont Flower Show in Essex Junction.
- Forest Walks
Flickr/Rain0975 Smuggler’s Notch State Park is one of the many forest areas you can hike along and reconnect with nature.
- Colors and smells.

- Orange Clouds
Flickr/Paul Moody The colors of Vermont sunsets are amazing.
- Lily Pads
Flickr/Jim McDonough Lily pads and ponds full of frogs make natural playgrounds for kids and serene settings for all.

- Thompson’s Point Afterglow
