Sterling Ridge Resort

What a hidden gem, it got great reviews, but we were still very pleasantly surprised at what a wonderful, relaxing resort it was. Met our needs of being near to Stowe, Burligton, hwy, yet remote enough so that we enjoyed the solitude, peace and quiet of VT and just being together. Wonderful, clean cabin, everything was mint so perhaps it had just been renovated, or they are all just that nice. Lots of nice hiking trails, pond to boat on, pool (too chilly this time of year), game room, DVD movies, plenty to do.

My only suggestions are that they turn the boats over so they aren't soaking wet from dew and rain, and upgrade them a bit, sort of a scrappy lot. Also hated the toiletries provided, so suggest they switch to dispensers in shower with stuff that actually smelled like soap. Otherwise absolute perfection!

loved the location of resort and the cabin was great. gave us some starting kindling for woodstove and couple logs to start. we bought couple bundles to keep it going . it snow second night was great waking up to snow. dog loved it too they provided dog bowl ,towel and a sheet for couch/bed which was great.

there was no heat in bedroom or bathroom but there was a heater in living room we cranked up to get heat through out the bedroom and living room, there was 2 fans we used to move heat through it helped a lot. living room was 64 and bedroom roughly 55-58 when we arrived we turned it up and it did get better in rooms.

It was a beautiful cabin in the woods that felt really remote. I loved my stay there. I was there in November for the first snow fall of the season. It was magical. I had the place almost to myself.

One morning the septic tank truck cleaner came and pumped the septic tanks for hours, which really disturbed the tranquility. But i do understand that this is a necessary job. It was just unfortunate they did it early in the morning at the height of tranquility when I happened to be staying there.

Sterling is a great resort for families and pets. The cabins are well apportioned, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the resort is close to many activities including Smugglers Notch skiing. We - us and the dogs - had a great time morning and afternoon traipsing around the resort's trails; before and after a day of skiing.

loved that the property was very private, in a beautiful scenic location yet still close to a lot of shops and great outdoor activities. we liked the welcome packet and free bundle of firewood upon arrival as well.

nothing that we didn’t like

We were able to hike in the snow on the extensive trail system has with our dogs. The cabins are very comfortable and clean, with just enough space. The facility was open with appropriate COVID procedures and provides reasonably priced SMOREs ingredients, firewood, and gift items, The people running Sterling responded to all of our needs and allowed us to exchange towels - including dog towels - as needed. All in all a very comfortable vacation.

This resort is more than excellent. I tried to find a word to describe it but I couldn’t. Our time there was like a dream the dream that we wouldn’t wake up from. We were a family of three my wife, I and a son of 4 years old. We would love to go back again and again. For real and I mean it. If you didn’t go there you have had no family winter vacation yet. Just go there!

Fact Nothing bad except I didn’t like time cuz it went soooo fast.

Our cabin came with a full kitchen. Cabin was very cozy and we comfortably fit 4 people in one cabin

Everything was perfect! But if you’re not from Vermont be careful around the notch. And you need to take the notch to get into Stowe but there’s a lot to do in the area

The cabin was private and secluded, exactly what we were looking for. The resort is outside the busier Stowe, but just a short scenic drive away from all it has to offer. The proximity to the Toll Road and hiking at Mt. Mansfield is a huge plus.

lighting in the kitchen poor. Bedrooms did not have heat, had to leave the doors open to the living area to have heat.
