Fairlee is a rural village surrounded by lakes, forests and low mountains
Fairlee is a Vermont village of around 1,000 residents nestled between the Connecticut River and the foothills of the Green Mountains. Its streets are surrounded by lush forests and a lakeside resort, making it a popular summertime vacation destination. Things quiet down in the wintertime, when heavy snowfall and ice blankets the countryside. One of its lakes is home to the longest ice-skating trail in the United States at just over 4 miles. “I love my town and all the natural beauty here. We’ve got two lakes, tons of hiking trails, the Connecticut River and a beautiful town forest. The greenery is magnificent in the summertime. And it’s not out in the boondocks. We’re close to Levanon, Hanover and Dartmouth College,” says Realtor Susanne Pacilio of Marth E. Diebold Real Estate, who has lived in Fairlee since 1995.
The Lake Morey Resort offers water activities and golfing for residents and visitors in Fairlee.

Summertime brings visitors to Lake Morey Resort
Lake Morey Resort and Lake Morey Country Club sit at the water’s edge, with a view of the hills rising above the pristine blue. For more than a century, it has attracted New England vacationers who want to beat the summer heat of coastal cities. “The resort has a beautiful view down the lake, and there’s an amazing concert series that happens every Thursday on the golf course during the summer,” Pacilio says. When Lake Morey freezes over in the wintertime, the resort opens the Lake Morey Ice Skating Trail, the longest maintained ice-skating trail in the United States. The resort is surrounded by deep forestland with trails that crisscross the low mountains and hills. Eagle’s Bluff, an intermediate hike, takes people to a vista overlooking the lake.
