When you think of vacationing in Vermont, your mind might go to romantic getaways and extreme winter sports. While those are true, families will also find that Vermont is a great place to spend time together sledding, hiking, apple picking and even having a few snowball fights.
Located in Brownsville, our Mount Ascutney Resort is a mountainside retreat, perfect for both couples’ getaways and outdoor family vacations. The resort features a farm-to-table restaurant, indoor and outdoor pools, an arcade and tennis courts. For beautiful views of the Green Mountain state, head to the tippy top of Mt. Ascutney State Park or hit the slopes at Mt. Sunapee or Killington. Or go rafting, kayaking and hiking to see the area’s gorgeous fall foliage.
In between mountain adventures, discover the quaint towns of Quechee and Windsor, play a round of golf at a nearby course, or check out some of Vermont’s hot spots, like Harpoon Brewery, Quechee Gorge, Simon Pearce restaurant and glassblowers, Billings Farm and Museum, Sugarbush Farm and more.
Our mountain resort in Mt. Ascutney features spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom villas, some with two stories, from 970 to 1,600 square feet. Families love the spacious living room, full-sized kitchen and convenient laundry facilities on property.
Please note there is a resort fee that includes a variety of onsite amenities.
