Blue Horizon’s Vermont lodge is stunning year-round, but each season offers a completely different experience. Here’s how to choose the right time for your stay.

Fall (September – October): This is peak season, and for good reason. The foliage is unmatched—vivid reds, oranges, and yellows blanket the Green Mountains. Daytime temps are 55–65°F (perfect hiking weather), and the air has that crisp, energizing quality that makes fall lovers swoon. Pack layers and waterproof jackets. Book 3–4 months in advance.

Winter (November – March): If you’re a skier or snowshoer, winter is magical. The lodge is near world-class resorts like Sugarbush. Inside, fireplaces and hot cocoa become lifestyle necessities. Temps drop to 20–35°F; pack heavy coats, thermal layers, and don’t underestimate the snow. December is quieter than February.

Spring (April – May): Wildflowers, melting snow, and the whole landscape waking up. It’s muddy, unpredictable weather-wise, but if you prefer solitude and lower prices, spring is your season. Roads can be rough mid-snow-melt; bring good hiking boots.

Summer (June – August): Warmest season (70–80°F), ideal for lake activities and easy hiking. Mid-summer books up fast, especially around July 4th. Lower humidity makes for pleasant evenings on the porch.
