Vermont · United States
Thirty-six towns, one spine of mountains that burns gold every October.

One territory
Every town, no filler
Choose your side of the Green Mountains
From the lake-flat streets of Burlington to the ski-lift villages tucked into notches above 2,000 feet — each town below is hand-described from the ground, not generated from a zip code.
Lakeside city · 102 stays
Burlington
Vermont's biggest town, pinned between Lake Champlain and the University of Vermont — walkable, opinionated, and never quite as urban as it thinks.
Stays in Burlington
Classic ski town · 162 stays
Stowe
The postcard Vermont ski town — Mount Mansfield looming over a white church steeple, and prices to match the view.
Stays in Stowe
Big mountain ski · 473 stays
Killington
The Beast of the East — Vermont's biggest ski resort with a raucous access-road scene, and not much else off-season.
Stays in Killington
Preserved village · 40 stays
Woodstock
The most photographed village in Vermont — Rockefeller money kept it perfect, and the room rates reflect that.
Stays in Woodstock
Outlets & fly-fishing · 62 stays
Manchester
Split personality town — colonial Manchester Village with marble sidewalks up the hill, outlet shopping on Route 7 below.
Stays in Manchester
State capital · 13 stays
Montpelier
The smallest state capital in America — 8,000 people, a gold-domed statehouse, and one main street you'll walk in ten minutes.
Stays in Montpelier
College town · 15 stays
Middlebury
College town with a proper waterfall right downtown and enough independent restaurants to justify the detour.
Stays in Middlebury
Artsy river town · 56 stays
Brattleboro
Southern Vermont's counterculture holdout — bookstores, art co-ops, a farmers market that's a scene, and the Connecticut River at the bottom of Main Street.
Stays in Brattleboro
Working city · 51 stays
Rutland
Vermont's second-largest city — not pretty, honestly cheap, and the practical base for Killington skiers who don't want resort prices.
Stays in Rutland
Sugarbush village · 86 stays
Warren
Tiny village at the south end of the Mad River Valley — Warren Store, a covered bridge, and Sugarbush a mile up the mountain road.
Stays in Warren
Resort mountain · 184 stays
Stratton
Purpose-built mountain resort with a pedestrian village at the base — polished, family-focused, and priced for the New York crowd it draws.
Stays in Stratton
Gorge village · 36 stays
Quechee
Small village 15 minutes from Woodstock — home to Vermont's deepest gorge and the Simon Pearce glassworks in an old woolen mill.
Stays in Quechee
Historic corner · 28 stays
Bennington
The historic southwestern corner of Vermont — Battle Monument, Robert Frost's grave, Bennington College, and cheap rooms.
Stays in Bennington
Far north mountain · 46 stays
Jay Peak
Vermont's snowiest ski resort, 5 miles from Quebec — legendary powder, an indoor waterpark, and complicated recent history.
