Picture this: it’s an October Monday in Vermont. The air is crisp yet gentle, carrying the scent of fallen leaves and woodsmoke. The sky is soft and muted — the kind that makes autumn leaves appear even more vibrant. After driving through rolling pastoral fields, I arrived at The Inn at Burklyn — a grand historic estate perched atop a hill, offering sweeping views of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. It was the perfect place for Corinna and Michael to begin their next chapter.
