Location (Driving directions are below the map.)
Travel to Vermont and enjoy New England lodging in the Vermont countryside with short drives to great dining, wonderful mountain views, and a wide range of activities. The Grünberg Haus bed and breakfast inn is located in the Green Mountains of north central Vermont. We're four miles south of the village of Waterbury, and about mid-way between the two famous resort areas of Stowe and Sugarbush (the Mad River Valley including the villages of Waitsfield and Warren). Both are about 13 to 14 miles away. We're also about 12 miles north of the Vermont state capital of Montpelier, and about 30 miles southeast of Burlington and Lake Champlain. And we are ideally located for day trips to New York's Adirondack region (1 hour), New Hampshire's White Mountains (1.5 hours) and Montreal (2 hours).
Note: be careful if you use internet directions - some of them are inaccurate. If you have GPS, here are the coordinates according to geocode.com (yours may vary from this): From Interstate 89, take exit 10 (Waterbury-Stowe) and turn onto Route 100 South to Waterbury. Continue on Route 100 through the town and then watch carefully for the right turn that Route 100 takes about 100 yards after crossing a bridge over a river (“Snowfire” car dealership will be on your right at the intersection). Take that right turn to stay on Route 100 and go exactly three miles. Look for our large green and white sign on the left. Turn left into the driveway. The driveway forks about 75 feet from the road - just bear left and come up the small hill. If there is snow on the hill, do not come up slowly, and be sure to keep your momentum all the way up until you reach the flat area at the top. At the top, make a U-turn into the parking lot on the right. The inn is the three story building in front of you with the red door and brass numerals, "94" next to the door. In daylight, you will see a "Wilkommen" sign over the door. If you are flying here in winter, we definitely recommend renting a four wheel drive vehicle. Directions from Albany and Rutland There are many routes you can take from Albany. This one is very scenic. Much of it is along Vermont Route 100, which is often included in the Top 10 scenic roads in the country by various travel, automobile, motorcycle, and bicycle magazines and books. From Albany, take Interstate 87 north to exit 20, Route 149. At the end of the exit ramp, turn left. There are lots of outlet stores here (Polo, Hilfiger, etc.) if you would like to do some shopping. Watch for the right turn that 149 takes just past the shopping area. Go east on 149 to Fort Ann and turn left (north) on Route 4. Take Route 4 through Whitehall and Fair Haven to Rutland. In Rutland, Routes 4 and 7 run together through the town before splitting on the north side of town. Continue on Route 4 to Route 100, which is just a little past the Pico ski area but before you get to Killington ski area. This left turn is just after going down a long hill and is difficult to see especially at night. Turn left (north) onto Route 100. About ten miles later, watch for the “Y” intersection with Route 107 and bear left to stay on Route 100. Site seeing note: about 2.5 miles past Granville is Moss Glen Falls on your left - a parking area is just past the falls also on the left. It's worth a stop and it's a good place for a photo. Warning: watch for moose in the marshy areas alongside the road north of the waterfalls. They are not afraid of cars and will walk in front of one without hesitation. They're very tall and can weigh more than a thousand pounds. If you see one, pull off the road if you would like but stay in your car and be ready to drive away quickly. Moose are usually docile but they are wild animals and are unpredictable. Continue north on Route 100. Watch your speed when going through Waitsfield - it is often patrolled with speed radar. About four miles north of Waitsfield, watch carefully for the left turn that Route 100 takes. (Route 100 B continues straight.) Turn left to stay on Route 100. We are about four miles north of that turn. Watch for a Mobil station (Duxbury Country Store) and then a miniature golf course on your right. About a tenth of a mile past the miniature golf, Route 100 takes a left bend and our driveway comes up quickly on the right. Look for our large green and white sign. Turn right in front of the sign into our driveway. The driveway forks about 75 feet from the road - just bear left and come up the hill. If there is snow on the hill, do not come up slowly, and be sure to keep your momentum all the way up until you reach the flat area at the top. At the top, make a U-turn into the parking lot on the right. The inn is the three story building in front of you with the red door and brass numerals, "94" next to the door. In daylight, you will see a "Wilkommen" sign over the door. If you are flying here in winter, we definitely recommend renting a four wheel drive vehicle. The drive from Albany takes about 3 ¼ hours. |
