The route serves a short connector to VT 14 in the town of East Montpelier.

VT 214 begins at a junction with U.S. Route 2 (Main Street) in the town of Plainfield near the shores of the Winooski River.

The route runs northwest along the eastern edge of the campus of Goddard College, passing a junction with Pitkin Road, which serves as the main road through the campus.

Now entering the town of East Montpelier, the route passes several fields and residences, which soon winds north through a stretch of dense woods.

[3] VT 214 was first designated on its current alignment in 1955 because of a move of the Vermont State Legislature.
