Brookside cottage near the mountains and outdoor recreation

Nestled down a private road in the heart of southern Vermont, Brookside Cottage in Readsboro offers easy access to four-season adventure, charming towns, and authentic small-town charm.

Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Green Mountain National Forest just 20–30 minutes away, with miles of hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing, or spend a summer day swimming, kayaking, fishing, or boating at Harriman Reservoir and Wilmington Beach, only 15 - 20 minutes away.

Scenic hikes include Haystack Mountain and Molly Stark State Park (both about 25 minutes), offering classic Green Mountain views. In winter, guests are within easy reach of top ski destinations including Mount Snow (~30 minutes) and Berkshire East (~35 minutes), known for excellent skiing, snowboarding, and year-round activities.

Snowmobilers will appreciate direct access to Vermont’s renowned VAST trail system, with miles of groomed trails connecting Readsboro to nearby towns and backcountry scenery.

For dining and culture, head to Wilmington VT, or North Adams, MA(20-25 minutes) for local shops, galleries, seasonal events, and restaurants. Readsboro is an ideal base for exploring southern Vermont and nearby western Massachusetts.

This place is simply fantastic. If you are looking for quiet...and I mean ABSOLUTE quiet...this is your place! Nestled just five minutes south of Readsboro, VT, Brookside Cottage is the place to get disconnected and just breathe a bit. Our family needed this place...I needed to be here...with our kids growing up so fast, now at 14 and 11, my wife and I just wanted to have a few days to be together, play some games, watch some movies, and enjoy each other's company. I'm convinced we found the place that we will return to for years to come, and regardless of the season, we'll find happy memories together here as we made this week. Michael was a fantastic host from booking to even thanking us for being there! You won't go wrong with this gem, hidden in the beautiful and breathtaking silence of southern Vermont.

Nice walk in the snow near the cottage
