What we loved about Vermont and how we planned a trip during the pandemic. While we wrote off international travel for a few years, it hasn't stopped us from exploring our local area and planning a domestic getaway.

We recently spent four days exploring the rural areas of Shaftsbury, Vermont. While we usually choose our accommodations based on our destination, we ditched our original plans after finding a cozy log cabin on Airbnb.

We spent lots of time outdoors during our trip and wandered around town. Did I mention we also saw a Black Bear right in our backyard?
