Photo by Greg Trulson Vermont’s Newest Tree House B&B Sets Grand Opening June 16th The award-winning Moose Meadow Lodge – an Adirondack style luxury log home B&B on 86 acres in Duxbury, Vermont – will host a grand opening celebration of their new Tree House. The event will take place on Fathers Day, Sunday, June 16, 2013, 12:00 –4:00 pm as part of the Duxbury B&B Tour. The Tour is one of the events in 2013 celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the Town of Duxbury, Vermont. Proceeds will benefit the Duxbury Historical Society – a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the town of Duxbury – located between the foodie mecca of Waterbury and the world-class ski areas of the Mad River Valley. The Moose Meadow Tree House will be the newest addition to the international trend of tree house hotels and to a growing number of luxury accommodations known as “glamping” or glamorous camping. “It’s camping without roughing it,” says co-owner Greg Trulson. The 2-story Tree House comes equipped with an electric fireplace and high-speed WiFi Internet. Although there is no plumbing, guests may use bathroom facilities in the main lodge and will have access to a local fitness center for shower and exercise facilities. “We asked guests what was more important -plumbing or WiFi – and they said ‘WiFi.’ Trulson added.” Supported by two mature pine trees and overlooking the pond at Moose Meadow, the 450-square-foot Tree House features a wrap-around deck, a living room, a second-story bedroom with balcony, 24 windows, custom-made antler light fixtures, trees and branches from the property and other locally-sourced materials. The Tree House was designed by its owners, Greg Trulson and Willie Docto, along with lead contractor Eyrich Stauffer of Stauffer Woodworking in Montpelier, Vermont.The platform of the Tree House was built by students of Yestermorrow – a design/build school in Waitsfield, Vermont – as part of their tree house building curriculum. The house was built by a team of skilled craftspeople of Stauffer Woodworking.Interior lighting fixtures made of moose antlers and deer antlers were handcrafted by Ken Kenia of Mad River Antlers in Warren, Vermont. Tickets for the Duxbury B&B Tour are $10 and include tours and refreshments at three other inns. More information about Moose Meadow Lodge can be found at www.moosemeadowlodge.com. Information and tickets for the Duxbury B&B Tour can be found at www.duxbury250.com. Walking into Top Notch Resort in Stowe, Vermont, feels like being enveloped in a long, deep hug.

It’s not just your imagination. The Top Notch Resort is a smart choice for anyone, but it also happens to be the only TAG Approved gay-friendly hotel in the entire ski town of Stowe. Better still: Top Notch offers an elopement package for just $1,500. Where better to tie the knot than Vermont - one of only six states in which gay marriage is legal - and what better way to celebrate than with champagne, dinner for two, cake, flowers, luxurious robes to take home and a Justice of the peace to officiate? Forgo the limo in favor of a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride over the grounds; it’s all included in the package. If you’re not ready to exchange vows, Top Notch can offer you whatever type of getaway you’re in the market for. Those in search of relaxation and pampering will find solace in the spa, which offers everything from a wealth of massages, facial care, full salon services and even a wink at local fare with a maple sugar body scrub. The spa, which spans 35,000 generous square feet and includes 30 treatment rooms, a sauna and steam room, three pools, a Jacuzzi and a hot tub with a cascading waterfall, is open year-round. With six outdoor and four indoor tennis courts and a pro shop on the grounds, those who crave athletic adventure are sure to be satisfied. The Grand Slam tennis package, available from Mid-May through Mid-October includes nightly accommodations, morning small group workshops, racquet tune-up and a discount on pro-shop merchandise. And don’t forget about the mountains! The Stowe ski area is minutes away from Top Notch. Dine on the grounds at Norma’s, a beautiful restaurant with mountain views that features creative, Vermont-inspired cuisine with dishes like a local cheese tasting and roasted beet carpaccio with Vermont feta and endive. Or just order in 24-hour room service and share a meal in your guest room. With stunning views of the natural landscape and resort, as well as decor fit for a king - or a queen - one thing is for certain. Staying at Top Notch Resort is like coming home.
