"A peaceful, relaxing place in a beautiful part of Vermont"

"We had a wonderful stay at Sugar Maple Mountain Retreat. The cabin was comfortable, well equipped, and had lots of thoughtful little touches that made our stay very easy and enjoyable. We especially loved the hot tub, paddle boards, and having access to the two beautiful lakes. We spent much of our time gravel riding and hiking in the surrounding area and really enjoyed walking around the property as well. We also loved discovering the little roadside bakery stand just down the road! We would definitely stay again."

"A lovely little cabin filled with all the necessities to unplug, recharge, and connect with the lovely Vermont wilderness. We enjoyed using the available kayaks and spending the morning on the nearby ponds, relaxing by the fire and in the hot tub, and playing games in the cabin."
