Memorial Day on the Jackson House Porch

Memorial Day Weekend is the time to visit us in Woodstock, Vermont!  Whatever your interest, come stay at The Jackson House Inn to relax, rejuvenate and refresh.  This holiday weekend in Central Vermont offers the chance to visit Vermont’s talented artists in their studios, cheer on competitors in Killington’s major cycling stage race event or at the pony dressage rally at the Green Mountain Horse Association, or sample Vermont cheeses at Billings Farm and Museum, all while we truly honor those who have preserved our freedom.

Memorial Day marks the “unofficial” start to summer, so our rockers and wicker chairs are waiting for you on our porches, balconies and patios.  You can relax and refresh – the golden-green hues of spring have given way to hills of lush maples and bright green lawns.  Our brook is flowing and the pond is shimmering – it’s time to breathe in the outdoors!

Stay at The Jackson House Inn and take advantage of one of our Memorial Day weekend discounts:

  • Book two weekend nights, get the weekday rate
  • Book three nights, receive a 50% discount for the third night

Vermont offers fabulous adventure opportunities for children and youth. Summer camps allow for time on the lakes, in the woods, and in the fields (sporting or farming). Camp Billings on Lake Fairlee near Post Mills, VT is special to our family – our two children attended for nearly 15 years (our son definitely enjoyed the dodgeball game)! And, we’ve enjoyed meeting the staff from Farm and Wilderness Camps near Plymouth since we’ve moved to Woodstock.
