Travel Information & Things to Do

*We strongly encourage you to book travel arrangements as soon as possible.* Early autumn is a beautiful time in Vermont that also attracts an influx of tourists, a.k.a. "leaf-peepers". Vacancy is already limited and booking up fast. We have suggested many options for lodging below and are working to see if we can add more, but please get in touch if you find difficulty making any travel arrangements.

Vermont experienced flooding in July. Be aware that many roads and businesses are still affected by the flood damage.

Where to stay?

The owners of the Inn at the Long Trail have kindly offered a 10% discount to anyone booking a reservation there for our wedding. Just call and tell them you are visiting for Nina & Stephen's wedding!

Hotel Coolidge is located just across from the White River Junction, VT Amtrak station. They are offering a $15 per night discount when you tell them you are visiting for the Rembert-Wolkwitz wedding!

You might also consider lodging in any of the towns located along U.S. Route 4 in Vermont, including Rutland, Killington, Bridgewater, Woodstock, Quechee, and White River Junction. Many national hotel chains have locations in either Rutland or the White River Junction Area. There are also many lodges associated with the nearby Killington Ski-Resort.
Some of our other recommendations would be:

Quechee/Pine Valley KOA Campgrounds has cabins available to rent (with electricity and hot water) in addition to plots for tents or RVs

The Lincoln Inn: next to a covered-bridge and also a "culinary destination"

Align Inn

Greenbriar Inn

Mountain Meadows Lodge

Hampton Inn Rutland
