Our home for the weekend:
The Sterling Forest Lodge
*click on images for some descriptions*
About the location:
Sterling Forest Lodge is tucked away in the mountains above Stowe, Vermont on the ancestral lands of the Abenaki people. Our 30 acres offer miles of walking, hiking, biking, and skiing trails with close access to thousands of acres of pristine wild nature right behind the lodge.
The newly renovated Lodge is designed to inspire. The interior spaces are carefully crafted using local natural materials and decor drawn from the surrounding environment to bring the outside in.
Each room at the Lodge tells a different story. Stories of Vermont. Stories of nature. Stories of time. They are all designed with comfort and sustainability at the core as the owners have partnered with progressive, sustainable brands that put human health at the core of their product experiences.
Rooms & Pricing
All rooms are double occupancy: two twin beds and a private bathroom (or one king bed if desired). Each room is named after the type of wood that inspired the design, and are furnished with all-organic mattresses + linens. *All prices are per person, please contact us if you need financial assistance.
