Pond Mountain Inn, Vermont, Writers Paradise
The Garden Cottage is like a private cabin in the woods situated in the slim pillars of pines—inviting, rustic yet delightfully comfortable open space that provides a sense of peace and tranquility—truly a writers’ paradise. With the perfect balance of seclusion, both inside and out, your literary imagination is buoyed by the pleasure of being able to devote one’s self fully, in solitude, to the work. If you're not a writer, this is still a wonderful place to find yourself.
