Moose Meadow Lodge

Moose Meadow Lodge sits on 86 wooded acres atop Crossett Hill in Waterbury, Vermont, between the ski corridors of Stowe to the north and Sugarbush and Mad River Glen to the south. The property holds LEED Platinum certification—the highest level of the U.S. Green Building Council's sustainability rating—reflecting an operating philosophy built around energy efficiency, local sourcing, and low environmental impact. Log cabin-style guest rooms, constructed from timber milled on the property, feature radiant heat floors, handmade furnishings, and private bath amenities; the main lodge rooms in the original farmhouse are slightly smaller but share the same design ethos. All rates include a full gourmet breakfast each morning, prepared with local and seasonal Vermont ingredients and served in the lodge's dining room. The outdoor hot tub and stone fire pit on the lodge grounds provide evening social gathering space, while the surrounding 86 acres of hiking trails allow guests to explore the hill's wooded terrain directly from the property. Moose Meadow is pet-friendly, accepting dogs of any size. Waterbury village is 2 miles from the lodge, offering access to the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory tour (1 mile away), the Cabot Annex Store, local breweries, and dining at the Prohibition Pig and other Waterbury establishments that have made the town a culinary destination in Vermont's central corridor. Stowe is 10 miles north and the Mad River Valley is 20 miles south, positioning the lodge as a useful base for ski and outdoor trips in either direction.
