Snowshoe for your dinner at Inn at Round Barn Farm, Waitsfield, VT
Here’s one way to work off the calories of a fabulous dinner while adding a little adventure to your evening. Combine a stay at the Inn at Round Barn Farm with a guided evening snowshoe tour through the woods to the inn’s rustic cabin, complete with fieldstone fireplace and a roaring bonfire. Once there, a beautiful candlelit dinner will be presented in the heart of the woods. Bring your favorite bottle of wine or hot toddy with you, as alcohol is not part of the package (however non-alcoholic beverages are!), but your guide, snowshoe rentals and a rustic country three course dinner is all part of the package, for $95 per person (in addition to your room and inn charges). Tours continue weekly through March 2, 2014 and are available to inn guests only.
