Scenes of Vermont Travel Guide
Not just postcard scenes but "the scene", a travel guide featuring links and lengthy descriptions for Inns and B&Bs throughout the state, local ski conditions and the requisite fall foliage report. Their "Vermont Weekender" section is perfect for those looking for a quick visit, and the photos are breathtaking.

Welcome to Rural, Vermont
We're all just neighbors here! Only in rural Vermont with its down-home charm and true town-hall democratic tradition could pull off such a guileless...and wonderfully clever site. By simply talking about their professions or passions, a cast of true rural Vermonters -- the bookstore owner, the town clerk, the farmer, the birdwatcher -- subtly reveal why Vermont's a great place to visit. And they're right. Love the Cow!

Vermont.com
Chockful of links for fun ski resorts, fall foliage routes, and the best tourist attractions to be found in the Green Mountain State. The shopping section alone (crafts and pottery, maple syrup and fudge galore) is not to be missed.

Access Vermont
No stunning landscape photos here, but this link-heavy page will give you instant access to local Chamber of Commerce sites throughout the state, from Brattleboro up to Jay Peak. Most sites serve up lodging, dining and sightseeing info for their town and the surrounding region, and the guides really give users an insiders view of life in Vermont.

Vermont Traveler's Guide
Vermont, where tourists can find world famous foliage AND maple syrup, serves up this colorful looking yet poorly designed site, with links a-plenty. In addition, this official state site has an updated events calendar (find the nearest chicken pie supper or foliage fair) and weather updates. For lodging and dining info, click "The Links to Vermont"

Discover Vermont.com
Not a bad starting point for your Vermont foray given its breadth of topics -- lodging, resorts, golf, etc. -- but a bit thin after you dig deeper. Best for a reference point to other travel-related sites in Vermont.
