The Inn at Shelburne Farms in Vermont is a historic getaway located on a 1,400-acre working farm where visitors can learn about sustainable agriculture in a beautiful setting.

Accommodation options include individually decorated guest rooms, historic cottages and houses.

Pro tip: If you are looking for privacy, ask about the Treehouse, a 1890s bungalow surrounded by trees and views of Lake Champlain.

Where to eat: The inn restaurant is one of the best farm-to-table restaurants in the United States, featuring a seasonal menu made from locally sourced ingredients, including organic fruits and vegetables from the Market Garden, pasture-raised lamb, beef & veal, pastured eggs and delicious maple syrup.

Local travel tip: The Shelburne Farms campus is made up of several distinct areas, including the Farm Barn which houses the Children's Farmyard, an organic bakery, cheesemaking facility, a furniture maker and an elementary school.

The Coach Barn hosts the Art Exhibition & Sale in September and other nonprofit events.

Good to know: The Solar Orchard behind the Coach Barn generates enough power for 25 houses, in line with the farm's commitment to renewable energy.

Must know: The inn and the restaurant are open from May to October, but the Welcome Center & Farm Store remains open year-round.
