Welcome to Newport – Vermont’s Lakefront Downtown

Newport Vermont is an equal-parts collection of outdoor recreation enthusiasts, dyed-in-the-wool locals, and seasonal guests who make up the spirit and story of a Vermont that feels like the best version of itself. Visitors come because this is a great place to vacation, but Newport is a great place to live too! The best part of living in a small community is that there are all kinds of ways to get involved.

Check out all the possibilities on our website, and then reach out to Felicia or Rick to have lunch and talk about where you can fit in.
