Slow Birding Weekend at Quimby Country


  • Quimby Country Lodge & Cottages 1127 Forest Lake Road Averill, VT, 05901 United States (map)

The Northeast Kingdom is one of my favorite places in Vermont and I think you’ll find Quimby Country Lodge & Cottages absolutely magical. I hope you’ll make a plan to join me for this special fall weekend.

Next to Great Averill Pond, this seasonal lodge is surrounded by 1,000 acres of Great North Woods Forest. Rustic cottages have 1-4 bedrooms and porches overlooking Forest Lake. Some have kitchenettes. The main lodge, with a fireplace and library, offers free WiFi access.


Imagine…a cozy fall weekend in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. You’re tucked away at an idyllic retreat where you can let go in order to reconnect with nature and yourself through your love of curiosity of birds. Your meals are taken care of, coffee is ready for you in the morning, and the flow of the weekend is laid out before you. You’ll enjoy the sunrise with the birds and sunsets with other mindful birders looking to reconnect just like you.

This unique immersive experience has been intentionally created to allow each participant the time, the space, and the support to discover or re-discover their innate authentic birder. Throughout the weekend your guides Amy & Bridget will help you cultivate curiosity and wonder by inviting you to explore and embrace strategies for slow birding and deep nature connection. We’ll use the sit-spot practice, mindfulness, journaling, and community storytelling as a framework for discovery while noticing fall warblers, soaring raptors, frolicking chickadees, and whoever else may show up.
