Castleton is a picturesque and friendly New England town surrounded by hills and lakes. Castleton's Applewood Manor B & B is conveniently located to all Central Vermont attractions, offering superior lodging for the greater Castleton, Vermont area, and its close proximity to New York State makes it a perfect hub to explore NY' Lake George and Fort Ticonderoga, as well as bordering towns like Whitehall and Granville, home of the interesting Slate Valley Museum.
Killington, Pico and Okemo resorts offer both winter and summer outdoor activities and lively night life.
