| BARNARD > THE FAN HOUSE - A VERMONT BED AND BREAKFAST
Guests of The Fan House in Barnard, Vermont, experience concierge-style service in a world-class setting. Resident host Sara Widness comes to inn keeping after a career in international public relations that led her to, among others, Rio de Janeiro, Myanmar (Burma), Australia's Gold Coast and Botswana. Her clients, including many in Europe, schooled her in the art of delivering the finest in service and accommodation which she now brings to Barnard, a region second to none in natural beauty.
Birding and Tracking Outings are available to our guests. The Fan House has enlisted the services of a local Audubon Society leader as well as those of an animal tracker to introduce bed & breakfast guests to the year-round wonders and mysteries of Vermont's abundant bird and wildlife. Reminiscent of the stunning new documentary, Winged Migration, guests may, for example, experience in October the spectacle of 10,000 Snow Geese heading south. Or in January they may don snowshoes to witness where bears have defined their territory.
Here are just a few of the other activities our guests can enjoy: Eco tourism adventures arranged by The Fan House and including personalized snowshoe treks through the Chateauguay wilderness area. Hiking the Appalachian Trail. Biking in four directions out of Barnard. Browsing through antique shops and boutiques in historic Woodstock. World-class dining at The Barnard Inn just up the road and at the award-winning Jackson House Inn in Woodstock. Alpine skiing at a number of resorts including Killington and Okemo, with Suicide Six just over that hill. Click Here for Latest VT Birding News on Surfbirds
