    My advice, call the Mountain Home B&B (easily found on the internet). They may shuttle and if not, they will know who shuttles in that area.

    DWG is a nice reward after PA. You have some decent restaurants, a local roasting company with excellent coffee, a farm stand with home-made pies, the ice cream of course and the inn with live jazz...

    If it helps, you could fly to NYC and take the Greyhound bus to bennington, VT from NYC Port Authority or a bus service from Albany airport to NYC and then the bus to Vermont.

    A good handyman (or woman) is always in demand in hostels along the trail for work for stay, which is already not bad at all. Put the word out there and they will find you.

    For a novice hiker with kids, connecticut would be, IMHO, the best choice. Long walk along the Housatonic river, gentle rolling hills, historic covered bridges, small New England towns, easy access...

    I would call the inn and ask them. Personally, I would be apprehensive to park in an unprotected parking lot overnight in that area. Too much traffic, too many city people especially on weekends.
