The best available Lodges to stay near Vermont

April 19, 2023 Jeremy Dunfee

Whether you’re exploring Vermont’s covered bridges, visiting Quechee Gorge or skiing at Killington, you’ll find Vermont to be picture-perfect. If you’re the outdoorsy type, you’ll love Vermont. In winter, of course, there’s plenty of skiing and snowboarding. In the warmer months, however, Vermont offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and boating. If you enjoy boating, swimming and fishing, a vacation rental on Lake Champlain might be perfect for you.

Beautiful Location

Reviewed By TeamDingo

What a wonderful property on the shoreline of Bomoseen. Lots of rooming options from small motel type rooms to big multi-bedroom cottages (please pay the extra $ and spring for the Birch cabin - perfection!) Absolutely immaculately cleaned, every little detail take care of and a great restaurant on site (does not do breakfast, there is a small "european style" breakfast available at the office). Lovely staff and just an all around wonderful property.

We just stayed here for the holiday weekend. This was our first stay but we’ll be back. Our room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet. The breakfast was better than the average continental breakfast and the coffee was fresh and strong. It a 25 minute trip to Brattleboro for a wide range of dinner options but that also made for a very peaceful stay. It’s also independently owned which is lovely.

Really Disappointed

Reviewed By FarAway483657

We are a senior couple that looked forward to relaxing and meeting others for 4 days at Seesaw. We were surprised when we learned there is no one to greet us and no staff at the INN. We were just lucky the head housekeeper let us in and showed us around. She was terrific while she was there, but she had to go to the cabins. For the 3 nights we were totally alone for two. One night 2 men stayed. They had multiple bottles of liquor. One passed out on a stool and the 2nd on the stairs. My husband has medical issues. There was no information as to what to do in an emergency. The TV is limited to only Netflix. The kitchen had just about everything you would need, and the Great Room was beautiful but when you are all alone it isn't fun. We split a steak dinner, 2 soups and no alcohol. The cost was $120.00. It was my husband's birthday which was shared but no treat after dinner. The handyman was terrific. He helped me try to skate for the 1st time in 50 yrs. It was expensive for not having any activity. We do not recommend unless you just want a room for 1 night between Stratton and Bromley.

Amazing find

Reviewed By 57wesg

For starters, I will say that the lounge was amazing. The breakfast was great, the location was perfect and there was great service throughout our stay, as well as it being well kept and clean. However, the rooms were dated and the rules were slightly too strict, but that didn’t affect my stay. I would go back in an instant - thank you to Carolyn and Steve for making this stay comfortable.

Women's Weekend Getaway

Reviewed By 573amey

I arrived for Women's Weekend without a plan and by myself. I was immediately welcomed by the staff and other guests and, much to my surprise and delight, a few ladies strolled in that I knew. I spent the weekend meeting new people, strengthening my relationships with the ones I knew and getting outside my comfort zone. I highly recommend Quimby Country for Women's Weekend or a family getaway!

Just perfect

Terry and Ken were perfect hosts when we stayed. My children did not want to leave and mum and dad actually managed to relax and chill out (which is unusual with 4 young boys). We really felt at home and loved the fires and s’mores after a hard day on the slopes. We will return

The Woodshed Lodge at Jay Peak

At just 3 miles/7 minutes down the same road, the Woodshed Lodge is the closest independent lodging to Jay Peak Ski Resort. The Lodge is a truly unique and charming historic property with a 120+ year legacy. We host guests and groups year round and offer a clean, quiet setting with private en suite rooms, friendly service with a focus on good food, and a laidback, family campground-style ambience. Come see us for the legendary snowpack, leaf season, the food, the aprés, the hiking, biking, etc! Modern and luxurious, we are not. But what we lack in state of the art amenities, we make up for with an unbeatable location (proximity to Jay), above-average food and service, clean and comfortable rooms and beds, and an unique ambiance. If you’re the type that enjoys a step back in time with like-minded souls, come see us at the Woodshed!

But what we lack in state of the art amenities, we make up for with an unbeatable location (proximity to Jay), above-average food and service, clean and comfortable rooms and beds, and an unique ambiance. If you’re the type that enjoys a step back in time with like-minded souls, come see us at the Woodshed! THE BUILDING Inside, you’ll be transported back in time thanks to the authentically rustic construction and ambiance. We have renovated many of the rooms and bathrooms bathrooms and now offer some basic modern amenities such as high-speed WiFi, a hot tub, and keypad locks - yet the Lodge retains her unmatched historic charm. We have 6 rooms, 5 of which offer en suite, private bathrooms, and three of which (the XL suites) offer multiple-bed options (up to three beds, of various sizes). The common areas include x2 living/sitting rooms with book-share libraries, TV's, and high speed wifi access, as well as our especially charming dining/banquet room that you'll want to write home about.

There is a stream running through the property which feeds the pond and serves up a beautiful background audio track. In our primary yard, there is deck & patio with outdoor furniture, BBQ grill, and a 6-person hot tub. We also have multiple fire pits around the yard for those guests who'd like to keep the family circle.

For hiking, we are 5 minutes down the road from the access to both the Catamount Trail and the Long Trail. On the other side of the mountain (about 12 min drive), you'll find the charming town of Montgomery, with multiple dining and Apres options. WEDDINGS & EVENTS In addition to the nightly room bookings, we host weddings, events, and group retreats. Please message us for rates and details on these.

Beautiful location, close to the skiing and biking!

The real Vermont B&B experience tucked away in a classic old farmhouse. Simple, clean and friendly. Three minutes from the mountain! A nice, sunny open space out back has a deck, screen porch, hot tub, firepit, adirondack chairs and even a pretty pond and views of the surrounding hills. It is set back from Rt 242, so you feel like you have really escaped from everything and everyone! Inside the bedrooms are rustic and comfortable and the bathrooms are all modern. The collections of decades of photos of guests and interesting antiques rounds out the wayback feel of the place. The new hosts Karla and Bill are really working hard to make this the go to location for convenient and reasonably priced lodging in the Jay Peak area. We stayed in the Pine room on the south side that gave us a sunny start to our day. A great spot to base your skiing, hiking or biking adventures in the area. 1 minute from Jay village and only about 15 minutes from Montgomery Center. Easy to get to from Boston and a very pretty drive the entire way up.

Quittner's Stark View Lodge

A Hidden Gem!

Reviewed By MichaelM20316

Stark View Lodge is a wonderful place to stay in one of the most beautiful parts of Vermont. It's minutes away from Sugarbush and Mad River, the Long Trail and other hiking trails. The property backs onto the Huntington River, with the Green Mountains all around, so I'm sure that it's a great place to visit during the summer (and other seasons).. The best part of Stark View Lodge, though, is Alan Quittner. He's the perfect host - witty, knowledgeable, concerned with making sure you have a nice time at his inn. He's a great story-teller and listener, as well. His breakfasts are terrific! The Inn is a bit difficult to find, at first, in that it's tucked away at the base of a mountain gap; that just adds to its charm. I was there a month ago, and plan to come back next winter.
