Fall Foliage Getaways in Killington, Vermont
Stay beside Kent Pond, minutes from Killington Peak, Route 100, Gifford Woods, and Vermont’s best leaf-peeping.
Fall in Killington is crisp mornings, fiery hillsides, scenic drives, mountain trails, farm stands, and evenings by the fire. Set on six scenic acres along Kent Pond, Mountain Meadows Lodge is a peaceful home base for experiencing Vermont’s most colorful season — close to the K-1 Gondola, Gifford Woods State Park, Thundering Brook Falls, Woodstock, Rutland, and classic Route 100 foliage drives.
‘Leaf peeping’ is the local term for those keen on experiencing the blaze of colour that happens in America’s fall. And nowhere does it better than Vermont. One of the finest venues is nearby Gifford Woods State Park, which is home to one of the few old-growth hardwood stands remaining in Vermont. Here you’ll find yourself amid towering sugar maple, beech, yellow birch, white ash, and hemlock trees. You can also visit Kent Pond and fish for brook and rainbow trout (from mid-September to early October).
Experience the Best of Fall in Killington
Vermont is known around the world for fall foliage — and Killington puts you in the middle of the show. From late September into October, the Green Mountains transform into layers of red, orange, gold, and evergreen. Vermont’s official tourism site notes that forests cover about three-quarters of the state, with a high concentration of sugar maples helping create the state’s vivid fall color.
At Mountain Meadows Lodge, fall starts right outside your door. Wake up beside Kent Pond, walk nearby trails, drive scenic mountain roads, spend the afternoon at Killington Resort, and return to the lodge for a relaxing evening in the Kent Lounge, on the terrace, or by the fire.
