Where to stay in Weston [REPOST]


So say you've already gotten your tickets and you know how you're getting to Vermont.  Now where do you stay?

The Inn at Weston
If you're looking to stay in Weston itself, the beautiful Inn at Weston is just down the road (walking distance) from the Playhouse and has beautiful rooms, a fancy restaurant, and swanky breakfasts and teas for their guests.  The Apple Knoll Inn is at the other end of Main Street (still walking distance) and is a bit less expensive.  The Colonial House is just a little bit further away (and still even a bit less expensive) but just as accessible!  You can make reservations online for all three!

If you're game for staying a little bit further away, you can look at the Best Western Colonial or the Governor's Inn in Ludlow (just to the north of Weston), the Motel in the Meadow and Stone Hearth Inn & Tavern in Chester (just to the east of Weston) or the Swiss Inn in Londonderry (just south of Weston.)

As if a musical is not enough to do in Southern Vermont, there is also a cool farm with a petting zoo, artisanal cheese, apple orchards and berry picking all within an hour's drive.  The theatre is also right next to the amazing Vermont Country Store (where you can eat your weight in cheese samples!)

Getting to Weston [REPOST]


So you've gotten your tickets to come up to see the show.  Now how do you get here?

The easiest way to get to Weston is to drive.  If you're coming from NYC, the drive takes just under 5 hours going up I-87 through New York or up I-91 through Connecticut and Massachusetts.

(Find out for yourself by entering the Playhouse's address: 12 Park Street, Weston, VT 05161.)

When it comes to public transportation, there are a few good options.  If you don't want to drive yourself the whole way, either Megabus or various airlines can take you to Albany (about a 90 minute drive to Weston).  Amtrak trains run daily to Rutland, VT (about 45 minutes away.)  And Dartmouth College runs a bus service between NYC and Lebanon/Hanover, NH (about an hour away.)
