Bird Sightings
 

Welcome to the Meadowlark Inn, an ideal destination for a bird watching vacation in beautiful Vermont!  The inn is surrounded by magnificent maple trees, meadows and woodlands with miles of panoramic mountains in the distance. Each of our eight guestrooms also offer stunning views, as well as comfortable accommodations. 

During the milder months, take your morning coffee on one of our porches and take in the crisp morning air, enjoy an evening walk on a country lane with plenty of wildlife and bird watching or simply sit on one of the large porches in a rocking chair and watch the sunset. We often see deer and wild turkeys strolling through the yard at dawn or dusk and a nearby pond offers a spring symphony of peepers that is wonderful to listen to while drifting off to sleep.

 

The Meadowlark Inn is certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation, so you will enjoy unique Vermont bird watching at the bird feeders and the many bird houses situated throughout the grounds.
