Family Friendly Lodging
Central Vermont offer lodgings and hospitality to families and kids
Central Vermont's hotels, motels, inns, and resorts strive to be family friendly, welcoming parents and children with a relaxed atmosphere and, in some places, lots of planned activities for the kids. Some resorts in Central VT, which includes the towns of Killington, Montpelier, and Rutland, have kids' camps, with swimming, arts, field trips, and cookouts. Some offer day care, playgrounds, and kids' night out activities. And any vacation spot in Vermont is, of course, surrounded by world-class skiing, golf, hiking, biking, swimming, sightseeing, and just plain relaxing, for adults and children.
