Hotel Vermont is offering the quaintest leaf-peeping tool on the market.

Fall is quickly approaching, with just over a month left of summer before we fully descend into pumpkin spice-flavored everything, thick scarves, and soup. One of the most exciting parts of Fall’s arrival is the changing of the leaves. Trees go from brilliant green canopies to tapestries of orange, red, and gold. Trying to capture maximum leaf turns is a science, and people make great efforts to see peak fall foliage every year.

This year, you can get your leaf news about peak foliage times from a far cuter and quainter source than checking some website. (Though, if you do want to check a website, Thrillist will diligently update its fall foliage forecast.) Hotel Vermont, the only independently-owned hotel in Burlington, Vermont, has its very own Fall Foliage Hotline. By calling, you can get the essential information on the foliage, plus tips on the best scenic drives, local events, and other good tips.

“Our new Fall Foliage Hotline delivers expert knowledge by our in-the-know team here in Vermont and ensures both locals and guests alike can experience the beauty and bounty of fall and all that it offers from the Burlington perspective,“ Matt Canning, General Manager of Hotel Vermont, said about the new hotline.

To use the hotel’s hotline, you can simply dial 802-651-0080. The hotline will run from September through October. Just be prepared to also get some information about Hotel Vermont’s Fall Harvest Package, which includes fresh cider donuts, local cider, and vouchers for apple picking and pumpkin farms.
