"Highland Lodge is small, quaint,
and low-key. The unbelievable trails alone are
enough to keep you coming back." --Cross Country Skier Magazine" |
"The trails are gorgeous. You ski through fields and valleys, delineated by rows of
trees and sugar bushes, with stunning views over open pasturelands of Mount Mansfield (Vermont's highest peak) to the west, Burke Mountain to the east,
Lowell Mountain range to the north, and Caspian Lake
below. There is no finer place for skiing and picnics." --Cross Country Ski Areas: A Critical Guide |
"Among ski touring centers tied to small, country inns, Highland Lodge is a gem."
