Sterling Ridge Resort

We had an enjoyable stay for a ski trip to Smuggler's Notch. This is not a luxury resort, but it is definitely in the sweet spot for comfort, cleanliness and location. The cabin was comfortable with a wood stove and well-equipped kitchen. We were in a one bedroom which included a full size fold-out sofa bed. It was definitely feasible for a short stay with two adults and two kids. I do not know if they had availability for the two bedroom on our dates, but that might be worth considering if you have more people in your group. The resort staff were friendly and responsive when needed, but left us in peace the rest of the time, which is how I like it. The resort has extra towels and other essentials available at the front office as well as snacks, extra firewood and other items for purchase. The resort is located in a quiet area between the town of Jeffersonville and the Smuggler's Notch ski resort. It's a little tricky to navigate at night, but Waze got us there after a couple of missed turns. It was a short drive to the ski area in the morning and a short drive down 108 to Jeffersonville for food and other supplies. The location was peaceful and ideal for families. The resort has hikes set up and provides snowshoes for rent, but we didn't have time to explore this.

The only possible downside to note is that there are no dining options on site or within walking distance. You will need a car to get to the resort and to get around. You will also probably want to cook some of your dinners, which possible thanks to the kitchen in your cabin. Booking.com has an issue where scammers are able to spoof messages from the resort using the booking.com messaging system asking users to re-input credit card details in a suspicious website. Unfortunately, I did receive a few of these messages prior to my stay, but it was fairly easy to identify the scam. This is a known issue with booking.com (not just this property, search reddit for numerous examples). Please be aware of this and ignore messages asking for credit card details if you receive them. This is not a particularly well executed scam, but I can see how someone could fall for it given that messages are delivered through a booking.com channel.

Staff were so lovely and the property is beautiful. 5 minute drive to town and 7 minutes to smugglers notch ski resort.

Nothing.

The cabin was beautiful, extremely comfortable for my family of 5 (2 adults and 3 teenagers ages 15,16,17), and had a fully equipped kitchen. The staff was extremely amenable and friendly. The location was excellent, near Smugglers Notch for skiing.

The location , privacy , facilities and the fire place

Probably they could have more coffee placed in the cabins

An amazingly cozy cabin in a beautifullly wooded area

Beautiful and serene stay with a romantic pond and easy access to boats that made it perfect for my engagement. All staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and helpful. There’s a small store in the main cabin with fresh, local food and firewood. Everything we needed was easily accessible. Planning to come back and stay here every time we visit Vermont!

The property was very well kept, the cabin was incredibly cozy as well.

Nothing comes to mind for things I didn’t like about the property.
