Summer and Fall in Vermont

Skiing is Vermont’s biggest attraction, but summer in Vermont is an underrated experience. Enjoy a weekend cooling off in swimming holes, grabbing sandwiches from the local country store, and exploring the Green Mountain State’s hiking trails. Minus the swimming, all these places are beautiful in the fall for leaf-peeping.
Swimming hole with shallow and deeper water. Great place to cool off. Short 10 minute drive from house. Vermont is known for its swimming holes, a must do during the summer.

Other Activities

Cabin is right off Vermont Route 100. Recognized as one of New England’s most scenic routes, it’s 216 miles long and takes you through the beautiful Green Mountain State and it’s charming towns. Called the skier’s highway, it connects you to several ski resorts. We love taking a drive and exploring towns along the way. A must-see during the fall.

Vermont is family friendly

During the winter, skiing and snowboarding is #1. Little ones (and adults) love snow tubing at the mountains. Summer is equally as fun with concerts, movie nights, and hiking for all ages.

Vermont country stores are a must

Part of the quintessential Vermont experience is a stop at a local country store. More than a convenience store, they are quaint, charming, and sell local goods and treats.
