WINTER DOESN'T LAST FOREVER!!

It's February already! So if you're thinking about taking that winter Vermont getaway, now is the time. As you can imagine, winter is outstanding here... full of fun, adventure, and of course, romance. But winter fun doesn't last forever. The magic of the season only will be here for two more months.

What's your pleasure?
  • A romantic horse drawn sleigh ride for two (bring your camera)
  • Snowmobiling (no experience or special gear required)
  • Snowshoeing (use our shoes, or rent near the trail options)
  • Cross-country skiing (renting equipment is easy)
  • Downhill skiing (try Burke Mountain, Bretton Woods, or Cannon Mountain)
  • In-room massage (perfect way to unwind)
We've got all that and SO much more. And we can make it real easy for you. Simply choose from one of the great packages below and leave the rest to us.

Hey, Steve & Laura...thanks for the great sleigh ride photo ->



Haven't found the perfect Valentine's Day gift yet? Consider a Rabbit Hill Inn gift certificate. A romantic getaway is waaaaay better than flowers. Of course, a little chocolate on the side would be a nice touch!

New England Getaway Done Perfectly

We just waved goodby to Angie & Irv, who flew from Nebraska to Vermont for a real New England winter vacation - 5 glorious days in the Northeast Kingdom! Their mission was to "enjoy everything that Rabbit Hill Inn & Northern Vermont had to offer". Many come with the same intention, but these folks really pulled it off.

They did everything on their list...well almost!

* Snowmobiling at
Alpine Adventures
* Dog sled ride at
Eden Mountain
* Snowshoeing - everywhere
* Horsedrawn
sleigh ride with Bruce Brink
* Ice skating at Mount Washington
*
Zip line tour at Bretton Woods
* Glorious spa treatments at Mt. Washington Hotel

Each afternoon, they returned home to Rabbit Hill Inn to relax by the fire, soak in their double whirlpool tub, sip fine wine and enjoy exquisite fine dining by candlelight. As each day passed, their smiles grew bigger and bigger. Endless fun & adventure by day, peaceful relaxation & romance by night. Does it get any better? Here's what they had to say...


"There's just so much to do here...after five days, we ran out of time. Two or three more days would have been great. We didn't get to cross country ski, downhill ski, go sledding or tubing. We'll just have to come back." "Although it was tough to choose, our favorite adventure was Dog Sledding. Everything was fantastic!"

Thanks so much Angie & Irv.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
