Woodstock, Vermont has landed on Travel + Leisure’s list of the best places in the country for people who love spending time outdoors — recognition that longtime residents say marks a return to form after a rough patch during the pandemic. “The region has long attracted those seeking a quieter way of life, and nowhere is this more apparent than in Woodstock, Vermont.” Mia Parsons, a real estate agent with Douglas Elliman who was born and raised in Woodstock, said the town has always held a certain status in Vermont. “I’m biased to Woodstock, being born and raised there, but I think it’s always been one of the iconic towns of Vermont — kind of between Woodstock and Manchester,” Parsons said. Parsons said Woodstock ranks among the most expensive places to live in Vermont.
