A great home is the starting point, not the whole trip. Around every Blue Horizon property you’ll find places worth getting out for, whether that’s hiking into thousands of acres of Green Mountain National Forest from the back of the Vermont lodge, snorkeling the clear waters of Virgin Islands National Park from Cruz Bay, exploring the rock-and-roll history of Jacksonville’s Northside, or walking the Victorian streets of downtown York. We’ve put together honest, local guides to the best things to do near each of our homes, the kind of recommendations a good host would give you over coffee on the first morning. Come for the home, stay for everything around it.
