2Vermont, all year round
Ski the powder of the Green Mountains at Stowe, Killington and Jay Peak, then drive foliage-draped valleys in fall. Vermont rewards the adventurous in every season — hiking trails in summer, sugarhouses at the thaw and historic villages the whole year through.
We are not the booking engine. When you tap See price, you are handed to app.impt.io, which aggregates over 8 million hotels at the same price or better — and every confirmed booking funds one verified tonne of carbon removal, at no extra cost to you.
Where to stay in Vermont
Burlington is the obvious base for a first visit: Church Street Marketplace for dinner, the Lake Champlain waterfront for sunset, and easy day trips to Shelburne Museum and the Ben & Jerry’s factory in Waterbury. Stowe is where serious hikers and skiers head, with Mount Mansfield and the Stowe Recreation Path. Woodstock and neighbouring Quechee are the classic covered-bridge Vermont.
For lower prices, look at Rutland, St. Johnsbury and Brattleboro. The Northeast Kingdom (Jay, Newport, Craftsbury) is remote, cheap and empty — ideal if you want lakes, moose and no crowds.
Getting around and when to go
A car is close to essential. Burlington International (BTV) is the main airport, with rentals from around $55/day off-season. I-89 runs northwest to southeast connecting Burlington, Waterbury, Montpelier and White River Junction; I-91 runs the eastern spine to the Canadian border.
Go late September through October 10 for foliage if budget is no object; go in June for warm days and empty inns; go in January and February for reliable snow at Stowe, Sugarbush and Jay Peak (Jay averages 359 inches a year).
Questions, answered
How cheap can Vermont hotels actually get? +
Off-peak (April, early November), budget motels in Rutland and St. Johnsbury run $70-95 per night, and Burlington drops to around $110-130 midweek. Expect to pay double during foliage week in early October or on holiday weekends at ski resorts.
When is the best time to visit Vermont? +
Late September through October 10 for foliage, June for lake swimming and empty inns, and January-February for reliable snow. April is cheapest but many dirt roads close during mud season.
Where should I stay for a first trip? +
Burlington is central, lively and well connected for day trips. For skiing, base in Stowe or Killington; for classic village charm, choose Woodstock or Manchester.
How do I get around Vermont? +
Rent a car. Transit is almost nonexistent outside Burlington and 95% of visitors drive. Burlington International (BTV) is the main gateway.
What does "every booking removes a tonne of CO₂" mean? +
Bookings are handled by IMPT, which funds one verified tonne of carbon removal per confirmed booking — at the same price, at no extra cost to you.
