From Addison County’s historic village, hike the Long Trail, explore the Green Mountains and admire Moss Glen Falls.

Discover Granville, a quintessential Vermont town in the heart of the state. With only a few hundred residents, nature takes center stage.

Hike the Long Trail, which cuts through town. This 272-mile (438-kilometer) trail runs the length of Vermont. Challenge yourself along the strenuous 12-mile (19-kilometer) portion from the Appalachian Gap to the Lincoln Gap. For stunning Lake Champlain and Adirondack views, take the 1.5-mile (2.4-kilometer) segment from Lincoln Gap to Sunset Rock. See Granville’s forests and fields along the scenic loop of the Robert Frost Interpretive Trail.

Check out several stunning waterfalls in Granville Gulf Reservation, a protected natural area just north of town in the Green Mountain area. Find the source of the Mad River tumbling down at Granville Notch. Get your camera ready at Moss Glen Falls, one of the most photographed waterfalls in the state. Deer Hollow Brook cascades down a pile of roughly hewn rocks, creating a stunning display of nature.

Go fishing for brook and rainbow trout in the White River. Find swimming holes scattered along the river or go to Warren Falls, where unique rock formations in the Mad River create a natural water park, with a deep pool, high dives and waterslides. Grab your swimsuit and join the summer fun.

Plan a visit during fall to see Granville’s trees in a stunning array of colors. Go on a ski lift ride at Sugarbush Resort, in nearby Warren, to see the splendid colors of fall foliage from above. Return to ski in winter.

Granville, founded in 1781, was originally called Kingston in honor of the King family, who settled the town. It was renamed in 1834 and is made up of the villages of Granville and Lower Granville. Take a side trip to Lower Granville to view its historic buildings.

Traverse Granville’s scenic roads year-round. Bike, hike, snowshoe or cross-country ski through town. Slow speed limits and low levels of car traffic make Granville a safe place to explore.

"Hotel was adorable. If you are not a fan of elevators - you might want to request a room on the first floor. It's the original elevator and can only be operated by staff. Very cool - but very small,"

"We loved how cozy and warm the cabin was, how easy the fireplace was to operate, and how much room we had. The view of sunrise from the back window and our ability to walk out there to enjoy it was a pleasant surprise. We'd love to come back."
