Vermont Fuel Your Vacation Sweepstakes and A Word on Stowe

We noticed that VermontVacation.com has a tremendous travel savings incentive on its Web site entitled Vermont Fuels Your Vacation. This program offers weekly drawings for $100 in gas vouchers redeemable at all Jiffy Mart and other participating locations in Vermont. This travel incentive runs until Sept. 30, 2008. For more details, please visit the VermontVacation.com Vermont Fuels Your Vacation page.

For the uninitated, Vermont is a beautiful place to vacation, with its beautiful countryside, gentle, tall green mountains, quaint villages, and wonderful small cities like Burlington and Montpelier. We especially like Stowe, with its 200-year-old quintessential New England village (with some modern elements combined) beautifully situated at Mt. Mansfield (Vermont's highest peak). The scenery is just splendid in Stowe and there's many fine dining (the Shed offers affordable lunch and dinner items), lodging and recreational offerings. The 5.3 mile bike path is free, starting in the Village and meandering through some beautiful Vermont countryside. Also, It's always especially nice stopping at the famous Trapp Family Lodge for an afternoon tea!

The feeling of Stowe is laid back and full of fresh mountain air that can only be experienced and not fully described. Although it has become more commercial over the past several years, Stowe remains an authentic classic mountain resort community that forces one to relax. Check out GoStowe.com for more information on this storied village.

Last but not least, Stowe does offer affordable lodging, at this writing, with three such examples:
Commodores Inn
Stowe Motel
Northern Lights Lodge
