It's nice when two posters can both be kinda right.
According to Wikipedia the opening sceene...
The opening sequence consists of b-roll from the 1981 film On Golden Pond, meaning that the scenes shown are of New Hampshire, not Vermont.
But more specifically IMDb says
Exterior scenes of the Stratford Inn were those of the Waybury Inn in Vermont.
and
The opening credits are outtakes of On Golden Pond (1981). If you look closely you can see Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn in the car.
and
Vermont residents complained that the opening scenes are of New Hampshire, and not Vermont.
