Experience Vermont
The Equinox is home to the best of Vermont, from thrilling outdoor adventures and stunning natural landscapes to quiet moments that inspire rest and relaxation. Escape to The Equinox and experience four seasons of fun!
A Quintessential Vermont Getaway
The Equinox is a year-round playground for lovers of the outdoors, and there’s something to entice and engage just about everyone. World-class recreational activities take you from the gently rolling hills of our golf course to steep mountain trails. Find yourself behind the wheel of a Land Rover as you navigate challenging off-road terrain or head to the river with an Orvis trained guide for an exclusive fly fishing experience. Place yourself on the receiving end of a trained hawk, or feel refined while refining your croquet skills on the Lincoln Lawn. And, when your busy day is done, you can relax on the massage table or in our heated pool before having a memorable dinner in a historic setting.
We’re proud to have hosted one generation after another at our storied property, and we strive to offer unique activities that keep families and couples occupied for the week or just the weekend.
