Not all small towns are sleepy, especially when they hold an attraction such as a ski hill that brings hundreds of visitors on a daily basis. But there are some towns that are pure bliss if you’re looking for some peace and quiet and we simply love them. While the populations aren’t booming, you’re sure to find friendly faces and a community spirit in these sleepy small towns in VT.

- Granville

- Somerset
wikipedia.org Somerset had a whopping population of 5 people, but that was reported to have dropped in 2011. The views of the reservoir are breathtaking.

- Stannard
wikipedia.org With a population of 216, you won’t find a lot of crowds in Stannard. You also won’t find any paved roads in the whole town.
- Granby
Flickr/Doug Kerr Only 88 people can call Granby home. It’s sweeping mountain views are gorgeous. Fun fact: In 1963, Granby was one of the last two towns to be linked to the electric grid.
- Bloomfield
wikipedia.org Perhaps the cold weather keeps people from coming to Bloomfield, but we think it’s worth the trip. On December 30, 1933, Bloomfield set a record low temperature for New England with −50 °F. It may be cold, but we love it!
- Morgan

- Sudbury
Flickr/Don Shall A trip to Sudbury wouldn’t be complete without taking a peek at the abandoned Hyde Manor. Nature is reclaiming this hotel which back in its day was a popular vacation spot for the wealthy.
