Quechee
Quechee is a small town centered around Quechee Gorge in Southern Vermont. Although the gorge was the original attraction, a small resort town has now popped up around it.
Get in
Despite being rural, Quechee is shockingly close to some (relatively) major population centers in Vermont.
By car
Quechee is located along US-4 near White River Junction and between that town and Rutland.
By train
The nearest Amtrak station is in White River Junction, though there's another one in Rutland, too. You'll be on your own for getting to Quechee itself, however.
