Travel
We’re so excited to welcome you to Vermont for our wedding weekend! Burke and St. Johnsbury are nestled in the Northeast Kingdom — a beautiful (and slightly remote) part of the state. A little planning goes a long way, so we’ve included options below to help you get here smoothly.
Accommodations:
We are arranging for a room block for wedding guests. More information about how to book your room at the Burke Mountain Hotel will be provided shortly.
Burke Mountain Hotel & Conference Center
Perched high on Burke Mountain, the Burke Mountain Hotel offers sweeping mountain views and fresh Vermont air in every direction. It’s the perfect home base for our special weekend.
Rooms range from cozy studios to spacious three-bedroom suites, many with kitchenettes and/or fireplaces.
Guests can enjoy the seasonal outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, arcade, and terrace overlooking the mountains. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.
For the adventurous, the hotel offers on-site downhill mountain biking, and you’re just minutes from the renowned Kingdom Trails network. Hiking trails are right outside your door, and Lake Willoughby (about 30 minutes away) offers kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, and stunning views.
While you’re in the area, you can also visit Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, explore the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium, or simply enjoy the scenic charm of the Northeast Kingdom.
We hope you’ll make a weekend of it and experience a little bit of Vermont while you’re here.
