Richford, Vermont is a small, rural community. Visitors to the area enjoy natural beauty nourished by the Missisquoi River flowing down from Canada. The river's valley trail stretches from Richford to St. Alban's, Vermont creating a scenic path for cyclists and hikers. During the winter, the trail gets covered with enough snow for cross-country skiers and snowmobilers to take advantage of it. Contrary to Richford's website, however, Richford has only one place of public accommodation.
As implied by their names, bed and breakfast lodgings accommodate guests with a bed and a full breakfast every morning. The Grey Gables Mansion Bed and Breakfast is the only public lodging establishment in Richford. It is a national historical site with period furniture and art. Weddings are held here and amenities include a murder mystery show, free wireless Internet, board games and a video library. The next closest bed and breakfast is the Phineas Swann Country Inn, approximately nine miles away from Richford in Montgomery Center. Despite the garden and country-style furnishings, the setting is still more modern providing guests with flat-screen televisions, cable service and Jacuzzis.
