Location
In Brattleboro, Vermont -- within walking distance of the downtown area
Set in the hills of the Green Mountains, Brattleboro is a regular New England town, with historic buildings that haven't changed, numerous art galleries and antique shops, and locals who live for the outdoors (skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer). But, similar to Burlington, it has a slightly more liberal and bustling vibe. Known as a small art town, Brattleboro has a funky side and embraces the arts thoroughly. Every month the downtown area hosts "gallery walks" during which residents and visitors can peruse shops and galleries until late in the evening. There are also numerous arts festivals held throughout the year.Brattleboro was formerly a mill town and today this city alongside the Connecticut River is still the commercial center of Southeast Vermont. Forty Putney Road Bed and Breakfast is located on -- no surprise here -- Putney Road. It has a waterfront location at the mouth of the West River, and is a 15-minute walk into town; some choose to walk, others opt for the three-minute drive and then park the car to explore the downtown area.- 1-hour drive to Lebanon Regional Airport
