Cool Runnings Cabin’s Vermont Favorites
Summer and Fall in Vermont
Skiing is Vermont’s biggest attraction, but summer in Vermont is an underrated experience. Enjoy a weekend cooling off in swimming holes, grabbing sandwiches from the local country store, and exploring the Green Mountain State’s hiking trails.
Minus the swimming, all these places are beautiful in the fall for leaf-peeping.
Swimming hole with shallow and deeper water. Great place to cool off. Short 10 minute drive from house. Vermont is known for its swimming holes, a must do during the summer.

May mga kasamang bata sa pagbiyahe
Vermont is family friendly
During the winter, skiing and snowboarding is #1. Little ones (and adults) love snow tubing at the mountains. Summer is equally as fun with concerts, movie nights, and hiking for all ages.
Huwag palampasin
Vermont country stores are a must
Part of the quintessential Vermont experience is a stop at a local country store. More than a convenience store, they are quaint, charming, and sell local goods and treats.
Huwag palampasin
Stargaze on the deck
On a clear night, the deck makes a great viewing spot for the stars. Just close all the lights in the house, hang out on the deck, and let your eyes adjust to the dark. You’ll be surprised what you can see! Don’t forget the bug spray.
