Moose Meadow Lodge Treehouse

Moose Meadow Lodge sits on 86 acres in the Green Mountains outside Waterbury, Vermont, at 607 Crossett Hill Rd in Duxbury. The Adirondack-style property pairs a log lodge with four guest rooms and a two-story treehouse, built up among the trees with its own crafted decor and furnishings. A Sky Loft gazebo at the property's highest point offers panoramic views, and the grounds include hiking trails and a trout pond.

The setting is secluded, with mountain views and a fireplace inside, and a full kitchen for cooking your own meals rather than relying on nearby restaurants. Groups can rent the whole lodge, which comes with four rooms for up to eight people, bed linens, towels, kitchen access and use of an outdoor grill. The treehouse can be added to a lodge booking when available, and the full property sleeps up to 12, making it workable for a family reunion, wedding, or a getaway with friends. Owners live on site but guests have full use of the grounds, and concierge-style help with local tours and restaurant suggestions is offered.

Waterbury village is three miles away, and the lodge is close to the ski resorts of Stowe, Sugarbush, Bolton, and Mad River Glen, as well as the Ben & Jerry's factory. The property is open from late May through mid-January, with a two-night minimum stay. Rates and availability are listed on the lodge's own booking calendar, and additional guests beyond the standard eight can be added to the Mountain View Room for an extra nightly fee.
