Guaranteed annual snowfall in Vermont makes it a desirable destination for log-fire lovers and Santa Claus chasers. Nowhere encapsulates the Christmas spirit of The Green Mountain State better than Wilburton Inn. Jetson, the hotel’s very own canine concierge, loves welcoming fellow four-legged friends to his 30-acre “paw-radise,” especially during December when the hotel is decorated with a tree and twinkling lights. Explore the grounds together and discover new and unique sculptures every day on your walks. Every pooch receives a special organic doggie treat at check-in, and pups are even welcome for breakfast. Furry elves stay for free  during “Canine Christmas” and, thanks to Jetson, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels never have to pay.
