to & from
Fly in and out of Boston and rent a car. We chose to return our car early once in Boston and Uber between schools.
We chose to drive straight to Hanover upon arriving in Boston (2hrs) and then proceed to Middlebury (1.5 hrs from Hanover,) then to Burlington (about an hour from Middlebury) and then back to Boston (3 hours.from Burlington.)
Where to Stay
Hanover, NH (Dartmouth)- Six South Hotel or Hanover Inn
Middlebury, VT (Middlebury)- Swift House Inn
Burlington, VT (University of Vermont)- Hotel Champlain or Hotel Vermont – We stayed at Hotel Champlain, next time might try Hotel Vermont for something with a little more character. The location and amenities at Hotel Champlain were great for our needs though.
Boston, MA (SO many colleges here, Tufts, Boston University, Boston College, Harvard….)- We stayed at The Charles Hotel, Harvard Square and found it very convenient and because of the incredible upgrade they gave us when our room was not ready (at 6pm) we will always have a special place in our hearts for The Charles. Also recommended to us were The Eliot, The Whitney and The Four Seasons. And, there are even more recommendations in our Boston Oliver Guide.
