AVERILL, Vt. (AP) - A rustic resort near Vermont’s Canadian border is reopening, and officials say they’ve received a flood of inquires the announcement.

The board of directors of Quimby Country closed the 122-year-old resort earlier this year.

Vermont Public Radio reports (https://bit.ly/2bIwVok ) the seasonal lodge is reopening in 2017 after receiving a private loan and monetary donations.



The board of directors says the money will go toward repairs that had been deferred along with other cost-cutting measures with the goal of restoring the quality of guests’ stays.

The lodge’s 19 cabins have wood stoves. There are no televisions or cell service.

Officials say new programs are being considered to help generate money, including a timber harvest.

Wi-Fi is currently limited, but the resort is considering changing that.
