2020 STAY TO STAY WEEKENDS
June 19-22, October 2-5, 2020
We'll Still be Here
Right now, it's much more important for everyone to stay home and stay safe. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are postponing indefinitely all Stay to Stay Weekends. We'll announce future dates as soon as we can.
Even though you can't take an exploratory vacation right now, you can still take in life in Vermont virtually, watch our Stay to Stay video series, and follow Vermont Tourism on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Welcome to the real Rutland County — a colorful combination of country roads, quaint villages, and historic downtown centers in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains.
Lifestyle freedom flourishes here — our residents can easily claim their very own home sweet home, enjoy a range of year-round outdoor activities, and raise families among a network of great K–12 and college-level schools. Whether you’re looking to take the next step in your career or launch that dream business, Rutland County is the perfect place to put down roots for young and seasoned professionals alike.
