Chances are good that we don’t need to try too hard to convince you to book a cabin in Vermont. The Green Mountain State is home to some of the most coveted natural landscapes in all of the Northeast. And adventures aplenty—thousands of acres of forested land and mountainous terrain to explore year-round by way of an endless network of skiing and hiking trails etched into its beautiful topography. Not to mention, more maple syrup, craft beer, and Ben & Jerry’s per capita than you could ever actually need—or, consume, for that matter. No complaints here.
Instead, allow us to play tour guide and highlight all the state has to offer, especially in the VRBO and Airbnb rental space. Northern Vermont, with the lively town of Burlington, several excellent ski resorts like Jay Peak, Mad River Glen, Stowe, and more, is home to countless vermont cabin rentals—from cozy log cabins and ski chalets, to hip A-Frames and off-grid escapes.
The southern end of the state may not have bragging rights as the home of the Beast of East or Burlington’s lakefront property, but it doesn’t need to. From skiing at Okemo and Killington down to arts in Brattleboro and Stratton and plenty of biking, kayaking, fly fishing, more skiing, and just about every other outdoor activity you could think of—Southern Vermont has all the goods and then some.
Plus it's just shy of a three-hour drive from Boston, and about four and change from New York City, while Montreal, Canada, the White Mountain National Forest of New Hampshire, and the Adirondack region of New York state can all be reached in under a four-hour drive from Northern Vermont. In NE speak, that's not a bad drive.
Make a long weekend out of it and book your own Green Mountain getaway from our top picks for the best Vermont cabin rentals in this state's lush landscape.
