Hi Everyone. I am a PA native and am very interested in taking a trip to Vermont with my wife and kids this summer. Any good recommendations for a good place to go in the southern portion of the state? Asking for the southern because of driving time. Open to any ideas but I was thinking about renting an AirBnB or something similar on a lake. Thanks!

Maybe in the Wilmington area around Harriman lake/Reservoir. There could be some places.

I’m guessing more water front Air BnBs a bit further north around Lake St Catherine.

Ludlow has beautiful lakes, great hikes, shopping nearby (Woodstock), the VIN (also in Woodstock).

The Vermont State Parks system rent out cabins in various parks. You can find out more information about reservations here: https://vtstateparks.com/cabins.html

They fill up fast but there still seems to be availability if you’re interested.

I'm biased but I'd go to Jamaica State Park, and maybe Ascutney while you're here. Make sure you eat at Brownsville Butcher and Pantry if you get the chance.

The green mountain national forest is the most beautiful place on earth! You can stay for 2 weeks for free!

Don't get an AirBnB, not only are they not worth the expense but they are ruining housing in Vermont

The pics I have seen are one of the main reasons I want to go to Vermont. It’s beautiful. This is a test to see if we want to buy a house permanently one day. Thanks for the advice!

Lake Bomoseen KOA has camping cabins. Stayed there before. It’s nice. Camp Plymouth state park has cabins as well, right near echo lake, which is lovely.

Some friends and I have done one of the tent spots at Half Moon Lake State Park for a few years now. Nice covered platform with 3 walls, and plenty of room around the camp to pitch tents / awnings. They also have a few cabins, but they get reserved quickly.

From what I gather Vermont is full of seasonal rentals! I’m just saying that I’m this particular part of Vermont is nice,The lake is nice… Probably not going to find houses directly on this lake, but around town definitely.
