Travel Options for getting to the Roundup

There are four main ways to get to The Gargoyle House, where the Roundups are held -- planes, trains, busses and automobiles:

By Car

Driving instructions for The Gargoyle House are found at: Directions

By Bus

There are two main bus lines that service the Upper Valley/Northeast Kingdom; The Darmouth Coach and Greyhound Bus Lines, which took over the Vermont Transit busses. Greyhound has busses to White River Junction, and Dartmouth Coach brings you to Hanover, NH, which is about 30 minutes south of The Gargoyle House. The Dartmouth Coach is a very good service, and includes wifi. It is the better choice.

If you want to come by bus, you need to email The Master of the Horse and arrange for a stable boy to pick you up at the station on the Friday before the Roundup. Leaving on Sunday or Monday is expected, though longer stays can be arranged.

By Train

Amtrak has a special train that runs from Washington, D.C. to Vermont, 'The Vermonter'. The closest station at which you can be picked up is 'White River Junction', which is located about 40 minutes south of The Gargoyle House. Reservations and schedule information can be found on the Amtrak website:

If you want to come by train, you need to email The Master of the Horse and arrange for a stable boy to pick you up at the station on the Friday before the Roundup. There is no easily reserved taxi service, though in the past, rental cars have been arranged through Avis -- see The Gargoyle House website for more information. Leaving on Sunday or Monday is expected, though longer stays can be arranged.

By Plane

The two closest international airports are Burlington, VT or Manchester, NH. To arrive by plane, before you book your tickets, be sure you have sent an email toThe Master of the Horse and arranged for a stable boy to pick you up a the airport on the Friday before the Roundup. Sometimes, the stable boys can pick you up on a Thursday at these airports. Again, leaving on Sunday or Monday is expected, though longer stays can be arranged.

If you are flexible on your flight schedules, other arrangements can be made to bring you from the Boston Logan Airport, or possibly even one of the Montreal, Quebec airports. See the Ride Share/Ride Wanted menu option for more information on sharing rides from other cities
