Travel to Vermont cabins, cottages, lodges for an outdoor VT vacation

A cozy log cabin in a dazzling mountain resort in Jeffersonville, VT: What more could you ask for when it comes to perfect vacations? The cabins at the 350-acre Sterling Ridge Resort range from snug studios to one-, two- and three-bedroom cabins with fireplaces and covered porches. And then there is the Pond House, a rustic farmhouse by a pond, with breathtaking mountain views and room for 10; or Mansfield House, with seven bedrooms and a beautiful back yard. For true luxury, the A-Frame on the Ridge has radiant heated floors, a whirlpool tub and floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the Green Mountains. Resort amenities include a seasonal outdoor heated pool and game room. Activities on-site and nearby include hiking, biking, fishing, swimming and, in the winter, skiing and snowshoeing.
