Ladies' Home Journal named Woodstock, Vermont as the prettiest small town in the USA, and National Geographic concurred, and described it as one of the ten most beautiful small towns in the USA. The American Architectural Society went one step further and stated: "it is perfect - if any town in any country can be."

is juggling guests and keeping them entertained, particularly if it involves several days. This can be somewhat tricky, and here is where the experienced staff of the Inn comes in very handy.

Arrangements can be made for fly fishing, mountain biking, hiking, golf, tennis, spa services, downhill or cross country skiing, tours of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Park and Farm, trail rides, chef for a day with the inn's culinary staff, canoeing, kayaking, aerobics, yoga, tai chi, racquetball, squash, indoor workouts with the state of the art Cybex equipment, and lap swimming.

There is even a large putting green behind the Inn next to an outdoor pool. If pampering is on the agenda, the bridal party and family can even enjoy a full or half day of the Inn's choice of spa packages.

If you wish to check out the hidden jewels of Woodstock, be sure to ask for a tour with one of the town's most illustrious citizens, Vermont natural historian and raconteur, Kevin Dann. This very interesting chap conducts several tours, including a romantic one, where he recounts the many tales and legends associated with the town. Lily and I were even fortunate in having Kevin recite and sing one of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's beautiful poems, A Psalm Of Life.

With all of the above activities to choose from, you can well appreciate why newly weds decide to stay put, once their wedding celebrations are over.

As for dining, you needn't be too concerned; meals are served in the Dining Room and the Eagle Café. The New American and Regional cuisine is offered in the Inn's Triple A Four Diamond dining facilities that boast an extensive international wine list.

One parting remark, although the inn is part of the Rockefeller collection of properties, it is not snooty or self-conscious, thanks to the unpretentiousness of its warm and qualified staff.
