It’s springtime in Vermont and here at the Casablanca Motel, we’re shaking off the winter blues and getting the cabins spruced up for the upcoming season. We’ve just finished painting the porches and touching up the cabins as well as replacing our tub surrounds in 3 of our cabins (more throughout the upcoming year) and we can’t be happier with how fresh and new our bathrooms look!
We’re now watching the migrating birds through Vermont and have our fair share of families-a nesting pair of yellow throated sparrows along with phoebe’s and some flycatchers. Be sure to be on the lookout as you come onto the property-mom and dad are busy tending nests and we expect the little ones by mid May to delight our guests as they take to the air for the first time.
Speaking of changes in the air, we have changed one of our cabins! That’s right; we are honoring our Shires of Vermont heritage by renaming our Abenaki cabin -the Shires. What a great way to celebrate this unique Vermont designation. Do you know the history of the shires?
Vermont´s southwest corner´s geographic designation may be Bennington County but in recent years our residents and visitors have branded this beautiful region nestled between the Taconic and Green Mountains as The Shires of Vermont. It has the unusual distinction of having two shire towns, historically referred to as county seats. Anchored by Bennington, the South Shire, and Manchester, the North Shire, it is a collective of 15 quintessential Vermont towns and villages connected by a scenic ribbon of highway known as Historic Route 7A. Surrounded by mountains and enriched by the waters of the famous Batten Kill that runs through the valley, The Shires has historically been a popular four season destination for those seeking the authentic Vermont experience.
So come visit the Casablanca Motel and relax and unwind…We look forward to having you experience life as it should be and all for an affordable price!
