What Guests Are Saying About Their Vermont Stay
“This was our first time using airbnb so we didn’t know what to expect, but this was a fantastic experience. The property was as beautiful as advertised and Gordon was very responsive. It was a pleasant surprise for my wife and me to check in and find wine and flowers and a note of congratulations on our recent marriage. We’ll always have fond memories of our visit to Stowe, VT, friendly people everywhere and an excellent host making our stay so comfortable.”
“I have nothing bad to say about staying here.
It’s in an absolutely beautiful location, the place itself is super modern and clean. It has great amenities and an amazing fire pit for cozy evenings. The hosts are super helpful and great with communication!
Would love to stay here again in the future!”
“This house is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable. The Mountain View’s are incredible. It is the perfect escape while being close to town for coffee, restaurants, and shops.”
“We loved this stay in Stowe! Close to town but still far enough out that you have plenty of privacy. A big plus for all of the kid amenities, it makes traveling with a toddler so much easier! We loved relaxing in the hot tub in the evening. The pictures and description of the home are exactly what you get!”
“Great weekend for two families of 4 at Zenbrook! This is a great location with plenty of privacy for swimming in the pool/ hanging out on the deck. Great game room as well. Very clean, nice place to stay.”
“The host, Red Cottage, is very friendly and reliable, I have many questions and they answered them very quickly with details. And the communication was very clear and helpful, they gave us good advice on many things.
I will recommend them to my friends! And this is a go-to place to stay if you are going skiing at Stowe!!”
More About Vermont
Discover Vermont, a place defined by rolling green mountains, timeless villages, and a deep connection to the land. Known for its four-season beauty, Vermont offers everything from scenic hikes and fall foliage to world-class skiing, covered bridges, and vibrant small-town culture. With a rich agricultural heritage, celebrated food and craft beer scene, and a pace that invites you to slow down, the Green Mountain State is an enduring destination for nature, culture, and quiet inspiration.
Vermont is one of the Northeast’s best ski destinations, with a long winter season, consistent conditions, and friendly mountain towns.
Resorts like Stowe Mountain, Stratton Mountain, and Jay Peak offer trails for beginners and experienced skiers alike, plus ski schools, rentals, and cozy après-ski spots that make the whole trip feel easy and memorable.
Vermont’s Green Mountains are made for getting outside, with trails that range from easy woodland walks to rewarding viewpoints and summit hikes.
From destinations like Stowe and Jay, you’re close to a huge variety of routes, including sections of the Long Trail, which runs the length of Vermont and is the oldest long-distance hiking trail in the U.S.
Vermont is famous for craft beer, and it’s easy to plan a tasting stop while you’re here. Popular picks include The Alchemist (Stowe), Hill Farmstead (Greensboro Bend), and Foam Brewers (Burlington). In general, breweries like these are usually within about an hour of Stowe and around 1 to 1.5 hours from Jay, so they work well as a relaxed half-day outing.
Autumn in Vermont feels like stepping into a postcard. The Green Mountains and backroads light up in bold reds, oranges, and golds, and every drive seems to lead to a scenic overlook, a covered bridge, or a charming small town.
It’s one of the most beautiful times of year to explore, slow down, and soak in those iconic New England views.
Vermont summers are made for the water. Clear lakes and gentle rivers set the scene for kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and boat days, with plenty of quiet coves and scenic shorelines that feel peaceful and refreshing.
Whether you want an active afternoon or an easy float with mountain views, it’s a simple way to make summer here unforgettable.
Vermont makes it easy to eat well, with cozy spots that spotlight local ingredients, cheeses, and seasonal flavors. Two must-visits are Doc Ponds (Stowe) for a fun, lively night of great food and drinks, and Alice’s Table (Jay Peak Resort) for a special dinner with locally inspired, farm-to-table style dishes and beautiful mountain views.
Beyond restaurants, don’t miss the local goodies like maple treats, Vermont cheeses, fresh cider, and bakery pastries you’ll find in markets and small-town shops.
Vermont is maple country, and tasting the real thing is a must. In late winter and early spring, sugarhouses come to life as sap is boiled into syrup, and you’ll find maple treats everywhere, from warm syrup tastings to maple candies and the iconic maple creemee. Even outside the season, local markets and farm stands are packed with Vermont-made maple goodies that make a perfect take-home souvenir.
