A Vermont Country Bed and Breakfast
Just want all to know that we are fine! JCFlats was spared (again) from any major flooding. Just a bit of basement cleanup from groundwater seepage and back to normal. The streams are still moving but definitely slowing down. Thanks for all your prayers, emails and overall concern! Check out this photo of our favorite “flat rock”. Where is it you might ask? Two days ago it looked like this, very much under water. Back to normal now! “Woof! Woof!” says Toby

Come visit the oldest state fish hatchery (1891) with the newest technology. No thanks to tropical storm Irene, our fish hatchery was devastated, leaving thousands of trout floundering on land. Seven years and $6 million later, a beautiful facility exists combining the best of the old with the new. While a magnificent sculpture of a Brook Trout ( by local sculptor, Sean H. Williams) welcomes visitors to the hatchery, one old tradition remains. Everyone can experience the excitement of feeding the fish! Roxbury Fish Hatchery
Early spring known as Vermont’s 5th season called “Mudseason” has arrived, providing many opportunities for ‘mudding’ AND maple sugaring. So come up for a visit, tour a maple sugar house in operation and best of all, try a Maple Cremee! Note: our inn is minimally affected by mud; no 4 wheel drive needed! Mudseason Things to Do
