THE SIMPSONS' MOVIE made its world premiere next door in Springfield, VT. Other noteable films in greater Vermont include; Alan Alda's 'The Four Seasons' (Stowe), 'Beetlejuice' (East Corinth), Hitchcock's 'The Trouble With Harry' (Craftsbury Common), Jim Carrey's 'Me, Myself and Irene' (Burlington, Waterbury), and Harrison Ford and Michele Pfeifer's 'What Lies Beneath' (Addison).
By the way, The Corvette Museum, Norman Rockwell Museum, King Arthur Flour tour, & Vermont Institute of Natural Science & Raptor Center are all great day trips (actually, you could do 2 or even 3 in the same day if you're not in vacation mode).
TESTIMONIALS: We had a wonderful time this weekend. It felt like a home away from home. The location was great for us as we skied and snow boarded at Ascutney. The general store was great...MMMMM... Connor had a great 12th birthday and we had a great weekend. Thanks again.' -- The B. Family, CT.
'We had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was so cute and cozy. It was convenient to so many things which we missed the last time we came and stayed at the Ascutney Mountain resort. We got a lot of snow while we were there which made for great ski conditions. We also got in some sight seeing. Woodstock is a great little town... We look forward to making another trip to Vermont in the near future.'--Tara Z. & family, NJ.
'What a great place to stay - so comfy & homey. We had a wonderful time, spending snowy days in the village. Loved seeing the alpacas and eating at the Irish pub with the kids. Thanks for sharing your home .' -- Don & Sue S. & kids, MA.
