Life can be hectic and sometimes we forget to take a moment for ourselves and relax. Luckily, Only In Vermont has you covered (even if it's just for a moment or two.) Sit back and soak in the beauty of Vermont and be thankful for such a wonderful place where beauty abounds. We've also paired up the pictures with beautiful words from Robert Frost. So without further ado, here are the the most relaxing places in Vermont
In 1920, Robert Frost moved from New Hampshire to Vermont "to seek a better place to farm and especially grow apples." For the next four decades, Frost lived principally in Vermont, becoming the much loved poet laureate of the Green Mountain State. Frost wrote much of his verse in a log cabin in Ripton in central Vermont, and his ashes lie beneath the ground in Old Bennington. He ended his Pulitzer Prize-winning poem, "New Hampshire," with the ironic words, "At present I am living in Vermont."

Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."
― Robert Frost
