Vermont—not many places exude such a beautiful ambiance as this stunning state. The state is beautiful year-round, with its vibrant leaves changing dramatically when the weather turns cold and crisp in fall, while lakes, ponds, and mountains are the gorgeous accents to its ever-changing landscape in spring, summer, and winter. Vermont is homey, and there’s an abundance of quintessential towns, eateries with the best waffles and syrup, and cozy cabins and cottages that make for the coziest home base during your vacation getaway.

Green Mountain Modern House - Jamaica
Located in the Green Mountain National Forest, the oddly shaped modern home emerges unmistakably. Plenty of fun attributes come along with the rental, from games to a sauna and jacuzzi.

Vermont Tree Cabin on Walker Pond - Coventry
It’s seriously all about the trees here, as this listing is a treehouse, and it has live edge railing (live edge means logs that still have the bark on them were used), stump sink pedestals, and a staircase that looks like it just grew through the center of the dwelling. Drink in views of the pond while soaking in the fragrant cedar hot tub. It’s also one of the top Airbnbs in Vermont.

Outside, a deck extends over the edge and is the perfect place to grill up a meal.
Cozy Vermont Mini-House - Pownal
Five stars for creativity! This abode is unusually spectacular and appears to be something that belongs along the cliffs of Santorini, Greece. But in fact, this one-of-a-kind space is amongst the foliage of Vermont. In the 1980s, sculptors crafted the plaster walls by hand, meaning this place is truly unique. Since its recent renovation, you’ll find a clean-cut appeal inside.
Top of Hadley Peak with Panoramic Views - Killington
A family with up to 13 people can stay at the spacious rental, so that’s a major perk. But the selling point is the views that stretch as far as the eye can see, thanks to an impressive elevation.
