LAKE WILLOUGHBY, VERMONT

My friend fell in love with a photo of a lake, and found an AIRBNB  for a summer vacation. She was not disappointed. She was the second to talk about blue water like the Mediterranean or the Caribbean (the first was Tobermory). Lake Willoughby is in view of two mountains, surrounded by beaches, a national forest, trails like Mount Pisgah's, and a drive just a little over an hour to the quaint touristed Stowe and the Trapp Family Lodge.
