For as far back as most East Coasters can remember, Northern Vermont has held the coveted—and in all honesty, controversial, but still standing—title of New England’s ski capital. Each winter, you can count on a generous dumping of snow—and yes, ice—to fall on the groomers and glades of the Green Mountains’ famous ski resorts. From Stowe’s legit terrain and Jay Peak's vertical to the top-shelf craft beer and food scene in downtown Burlington, and the pristine mountain biking trails throughout the region, no one ever called Northern Vermont boring. And we’re not about to start now.
It’s a reasonable distance from both New York City and Boston and full of both genuine adventure opportunities and plenty of cozy cabins to get some much needed R & R in, too. If you’re road tripping, keep an eye out through Southern Vermont before heading straight north. When you find yourself among the sugar maple, beech, and birch, damn near to Canada, you'll have made it. When that time comes, book your stay at one of these 11 unique cabin rentals and stay awhile, in Northern Vermont.
