HEALTHFUL PROGRAMS

Our program does not encompass fad diets, it involves plain old-fashioned hard work and correctly sized portions of well balanced healthy spa cuisine. Our nutritional workshops are given by register dietitians who both have a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition. They cover cooking demonstrations, nutritional lectures and post vacation follow up sessions. Our goal is to set you on a path to make healthy choices once you return home. We stress weight loss fundamentals that considers your intake of calories, your daily needs for physical workouts and long term benefits. We believe weight loss is about choices and making the right ones.

For example, choosing a vacation destination: you can choose to go on a cruise, relax and gain weight or choose to come to Vermont to loose weight, take in its beauty and feel healthier, and be stress free. The longer you stay, the better the results. Plus, you will boost your chances of breaking bad habits. Guests who stay over three nights receive a complimentary copy of our Healthful Living Cookbook.

Enjoy the small group setting while exploring the most scenic villages, flat water kayaking and hiking trails Vermont has to offer. While in the villages, we stop at local favorite spots that include art and crafts, antiques, old general stores or a health food store. For more information check out the hiking program pages. We also offer a limited selection of fitness classes. For those guests interested we have a registered dietitian and a personal trainer available at the Inn for consultations, sessions will be à la carte.

We attract both weight loss hikers and athletes so we provide two meal sizes: weight loss portions and hikers' portions. The weight loss portion contains approximately 1500 to 1700 daily calories. We will also cater to special diets such as vegetarian, vegan, low sugar, sodium- wheat- and dairy-free. While here it's a great time to try some of our vegetarian options. For more information check out the spa cuisine page.
