Whiting offers wide-open views, quiet dirt roads, and a pace that lets you hear the wind in the maples. Set along Route 30 in Addison County, it places you within an easy drive of amenities in Middlebury and the galleries and eateries of Brandon, while keeping the night skies brilliantly dark. Outdoor time is a given here: residents swim and paddle at nearby Branbury State Park’s sandy shore on Lake Dunmore, managed by the Vermont State Parks system at Branbury State Park, and hike, bike, or ski miles of trails in the Green Mountain National Forest.
Families appreciate the small-town spirit and practical school options. Whiting belongs to the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union, with many younger students attending Neshobe Elementary School and older students heading to Otter Valley Union Middle and High School. Weekend routines often include a loop for farm-stand produce, a sugarhouse stop in spring, and a show or lecture just up the road at Middlebury’s cultural venues.
Housing ranges from classic farmhouses and cape-style homes to land for custom builds, with acreage that makes gardening, hobby farming, or simply room to roam truly feasible.
