Pies

Featured, General

Sunday, October 13, 2019

Enjoying the fall colors? They look even brighter while eating a slice of pie. This week’s choices are:

Cherry Pie
Blueberry Pie
Chocolate Mousse Pie
Maple Pecan Cheesecake

Special pie of the week:
Apple Custard Pie

Enjoy a slice of pie for $4, including coffee or tea and tax, anytime between 3-6pm. Wine, beer, and hard cider are also for sale. You can also take your pie to go. To ensure the enjoyment of Sunday pie, we are making more pies, so whether you come to the Inn at 3p or 5p, there will be pies to choose from.

Whole pies are available with a 24 hour notice. For weekend orders, please call or email the Inn by noon on Friday.

Front Porch Forum will no longer allow us to post our pie selections. To solve that problem, we have created a pie-only weekly update so you will know the pie selection for the coming Sunday.. If you wish to be added to our pie-only email list, please join our mailing list at right (or below on mobile).

See you on Sunday.

Please contact us for more information or call the Inn at 802-496-2405.

What’s Happening at the Inn Today?

The Inn continues to bustle with guests and friends. Tim is making a pie for a social event, Rick is working in the gardens, and the dogs are resting. We continue to welcome Long Trail hikers needing a rest for the rocks, roots, and weather of the LT.

Long Trail Hiker “Butterfly” spent a “zero” day at the Inn with her parents. She was back on the trail this morning, well fed and rested. Keep it going, Butterfly! We know you can make it! Check out the Green Mountain Club for more information on the Long Trail.

The Swanson Inn is getting a facelift. Starting in late May, Amanda has been scraping, priming, and painting the Inn.

At first it looked like the Inn had the measles with brown spots over the blue paint.

But with the first top coat slowly spreading, you can see a glimpse of the future.

Keep an eye out right here to see how this project, and many others, is shaping up.
