Welcome to the heart of Southern Vermont. At Vermont Escapes, our properties are strategically located within the "Golden Triangle" of Ludlow, Weston, and Londonderry.

These three historic towns are located just minutes apart along scenic Route 100, meaning no matter which property you choose, you are never more than a short drive from world-class skiing, dining, and shopping.
