Where to Stay in Woodstock, VT
Woodstock has a village green lined with Federal and Greek Revival houses, covered bridges, including one in the village center, and the Ottauquechee River running through town. Billings Farm has operated since 1871, and the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, Vermont's only national park, protects the forest and mansion above the village. The Woodstock Inn & Resort, on the village green, was rebuilt by Laurance Rockefeller in 1969 and has 142 rooms, a golf course, a spa with 10 treatment rooms, a Nordic center and its own small ski area, Saskadena Six, formerly Suicide Six. The village is compact enough to see on foot.
