Vermont is one of the oldest states in the Union and also one of the least populous, but that doesn't mean it lacks for things to do! Dubbed les verts monts (a.k.a. "the green mountains") by Frenchman Samuel Champlain, this Northeastern state is truly verdant. Green hills give way to mountains and cascading waterfalls. The cozy state, which borders New Hampshire to the east, Massachusetts to the south, and New York to the west, is the quintessential outdoor-lover's mecca, and boasts many attractions for anyone who stays at one of our warm and welcoming Vermont vacation rentals!
