A Perfect Vermont Getaway: 5 Must-Do Experiences Near Grey Bonnet Inn

Welcome to Vermont, Weekender-style.
Tucked in the heart of Killington, the Grey Bonnet Inn is your basecamp for mountain adventures, small-town charm, and those simple moments that make travel unforgettable. Whether you’re here for crisp autumn hikes, snowy slopes, or lazy summer afternoons by the water, this corner of Vermont has something for everyone. Here are five experiences you can’t miss during your stay.

1. Explore the Trails on Foot or Bike

Vermont’s Green Mountains are calling. Just minutes from the inn, you’ll find a network of scenic hiking and biking trails ranging from easy woodland strolls to rewarding summit climbs. In the warmer months, pack a picnic and head up Killington Peak for sweeping views of the surrounding valleys. If biking is your thing, the area’s singletrack and paved paths make it easy to spend a day exploring on two wheels.

2. Sample Local Flavors at Farmstands and Breweries

Vermont is known for its farm-to-table culture, and Killington delivers. You’ll find roadside farmstands stocked with maple syrup, fresh produce, and local cheeses, as well as craft breweries pouring small-batch ales that taste like pure New England. It’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon: wander, sip, taste, repeat.

3. Take a Scenic Drive Through the Green Mountains

Few places are better suited for a leisurely drive than Vermont. The winding roads just outside Killington are lined with covered bridges, rolling hills, and charming villages that seem frozen in time. Bring your camera — between the historic barns and sweeping overlooks, every turn feels like a postcard.

4. Cool Off at Nearby Lakes and Rivers

In summer, trade hiking boots for a swimsuit and head to one of the area’s nearby lakes for a refreshing dip or paddle. Rent a kayak, float on an inner tube, or simply stretch out on the shore with a good book. Vermont’s freshwater escapes are peaceful, uncrowded, and ideal for lazy afternoons.

5. Embrace Vermont Evenings

When the sun dips behind the mountains, the real magic begins. Evenings at the Grey Bonnet Inn are all about firepits, good conversation, and crisp night air. Grab a blanket, roast marshmallows, and watch the stars — because sometimes, the best experiences are the simplest.

Your Vermont adventure starts here.
Whether it’s your first trip or your tenth, Killington’s mix of nature, food, and local charm makes it a destination you’ll return to again and again.
