Winter Getaway Lodging in Southern Vermont

This winter, try something different for your seasonal getaway. Instead of a ski resort or condo community, rent one of the unique historic homes owned by the Landmark Trust USA. On the historic Scott Farm, there’s the cozy one-bedroom Sugarhouse and an 1849 farmhouse that sleeps up to eight, both with expansive views and access to cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking. The 1802 Amos Brown House sleeps six, and you can walk out your front door to hike, ski, snowshoe or go snowmobiling. You’re also half an hour to skiing and snowboarding at Mount Snow. Larger groups can rent Rudyard Kipling’s four-bedroom Naulakha home and the nearby Carriage House, both of which are 10 minutes from Brattleboro’s shops, restaurants and brew pubs.

Whether your winter getaway means hitting the slopes, or relaxing in a spa tub and then sitting by a blazing fireplace in your room or suite, the Manchester View has you covered. Tucked in a quiet valley between the Green and Taconic Mountains, the property, with panoramic mountain views, is a wonderland in the winter. It’s just a short drive to Bromley, Stratton and Magic Mountain ski resorts as well as cross-country skiing, skating, snowshoeing and fat-biking at the Viking Nordic Center. There’s amazing winter hiking, too, plus antiquing, local shops and outlet stores. Take a leisurely drive to area museums, a casino, and science centers, open in the winter. Start your day with Manchester View's complimentary Continental breakfast and get and early start on your day's exciting activities.
