The drive-in is very old fashioned and charges for individuals, not by car. Movies start at sundown and Friday/Saturday has double features. Some speakers don't work, but the movie audio plays on a radio station. There is a snack-bar and bathrooms, although travellers might be better off bringing their own food and going in the woods. Bring bugspray and warm clothes if you intend to sit in a lawn chair and watch. Open seasonally, from the end of April to mid-September.
This is the town beach. It's modest, boasting two long docks and sectioned off lanes in between, a small beach area, a picnic area, and swing sets. There is a clubhouse and often cookouts and general activities going on here. A simple way to occupy your family for the day.
This golf course is where the Vermont Open is held every year. Despite its renowned status, the course is only moderately difficult and beginners will only need a few mulligans. Townies know that it is least crowded in the evenings, but it's best to get a tee-time the day before. Carts available. rates for 18 holes: $34-$43; 9 holes: $16-$23
Serves breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is probably their specialty, with everything tasting like a country cooked meal, although the club sandwiches are good, too. Weekends are especially busy. Open every day except Tuesday.
Leda's serves Greek-style pizza. There is a menu of all the different specialties, including an interesting take on Hawaiian pizza. Sit to eat in the cozy back rooms by your lonesome or with family, or pick up your pizza to take home, no delivery though. The cheesy/garlic bread is worth trying.
Ice cream shop now serves burgers, fries, and an assortment of other snack foods. Ice cream is decent, soft and hard serve. Dole Flavor of the week is what to look out for. Regular brownie sundae: $3.75
The restaurant is a mix of a New York city club, bar and a fine dining establishment, offering Asian fusion dishes.
Turn left off exit ramp. Take first right (granite Lake Morey Resort sign on corner). Follow the golf course (on left) and take your first left onto Clubhouse Rd. Resort is on the right. This is the best (and only) place to stay in the area. Despite the monopoly, the Inn has a great atmosphere. Pool and hot tub are superfluous with the lake and all the activities it offers, and the accompanying golf course is where the Vermont Open takes place. Standard room: Summer $124-170; Winter: $109
Will's is a toy store with much more. There are toys in one section of the front room, while the other half holds handmade jewelry and a large assortment of beer and wines. The store has various gifts, cards, candles, and other Vermont products and knick-knacks.
Bikes for rent.

By snowmobile
Fairlee is a fairly rural town, so when the heart of winter hits central Vermont, sometimes the only option is to go over the snow, rather than through it.
