By far my favorite breakfast place! Traditional breakfast options plus amazing carnitas omelette, gluten free bread options and amazing fish tacos! Make sure you head to their new location in a converted gas station at 1 Main St, Essex. It’s right at 5 corners and there is ample free parking behind the building.

Want to feel like your at a resort in the Caribbean? Look no further. Enjoy your lunch or dinner on a dock overlooking beautiful Lake Champlain! My fav is to sit in the lounge area which requires no reservations and is first come first serve. : )

This is a super hip new taco spot! The carnitas taco is hands down the best taco I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of tacos! The ambiance is on point, and the outdoor seating is fantastic! They also have a take out window if you prefer.

Live music, great food and incredible atmosphere! Great for people who cannot eat gluten as they are pretty aware and have a gluten free fried for French fries! Try the kale skillet with salmon on top.

Transportation

Plan to either bring a car, or use Uber or Lyft. Vermont has some public transportation but it’s not extensive enough to make it possible for a visit to my home and to get around.

What to pack

Please pack some slip on outdoor shoes to help you get to and from the hot tub without getting super dirty feet. ; ) This also helps us to keep the hot tub clean.
