Many consider Jackson’s Lodge and Log Cabin Village to be 
“The best family vacation spot in Vermont”

WHY?

Jackson’s delivers the ‘intangible’ … genuine hospitality!

 “Inclusive of all the so-called tangibles that one expects from a ‘5-star’ rated lodging venue, what really sets Jackson’s apart is the way they create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, letting you know they’re glad you’re there!  This, above all, is what makes Jackson’s such a special place – the fact that at any time on any given day, you’ll meet Gloria, or Mark, or staff, and their warm and friendly manner, more than anything else they do, will let you know in the most authentic way, that they’re glad you’re there.” (Peer review)

Spring, Summer, or Fall… There are always fun things to do in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom

May & June at Jackson’s is a unique time of year. The days are warming and the nights are cool. Jackson’s is a very quiet destination; the guests being mostly adults.

A cherished experience in the Northeast Kingdom come springtime is the return of the loons. The calls of these birds are a sound that people love and long to hear. There are folks who come back each spring just to observe, photograph, and listen to the loons. The loons are special!

The waterways abound with trout & bass and fishing gets better as the days get warmer.

The fresh spring foliage along our streams, lakes, and mountains is so lush and vibrant green; hence, the ‘Green Mountain State’. For the hikers, it’s a beautiful time to be in the woods & trails. It’s also a gathering for the cyclists trekking our quiet roads and remote dirt tracks.

For the nature lovers, the chance of watching moose out & about is at its best.

July & August is the highlight of what makes Jackson’s Lodge such a great family destination. Jackson’s then is all about families and children. Kids dashing between cabins, the Lodge, and the beach; youngsters shouting, laughing, and playing games; dogs barking; cabin doors slamming; all these exuberant activities makes up the sights & sounds of summertime at Jackson’s.

The kids-friendly sandy beach, warm water, and catching crayfish are the focal point of family pastime.  Kayaks, canoes, paddleboats, and rowboats (free-of-charge) get our guests on beautiful international Lake Wallace exploring its shores.

BBQ grilling becomes the cuisine-of-choice alongside picnic-tables at the cabins.

A trip to April’s Maple sugar house is everyone’s favorite for maple creemees (soft serves) on these hot summer days.

Capping off the active days usually includes enjoying smores at gatherings around the campfire on the beach.

September & October is again a quieter time at Jackson’s.  It’s a nice time of year for adults to come and relax, read, paint, sit on the beach, and marvel while gazing incredible sunsets over Lake Wallace and brilliant starry nights.

You can plan to enjoy the spectacles of peak fall-foliage anytime from late September thru early October.

It’s also the season for grouse & woodcock hunters and their endearing dogs bushwhacking colorful wilderness habitat. 

May thru October bring your Passport.

Just thirty minutes’ drive into the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada, you can embark on Jackson’s ‘food tour’ which will guide you to patisserie, chocolatier, cheese maker, ice cream maker, brewery, wineries, sightseeing on North America’s longest pedestrian bridge, and many more points of interest for both adults & children.

While staying with us at Jackson’s Lodge, you can explore Vermont’s ‘Northeast Kingdom’, New Hampshire’s ‘Great North Woods’, and Canada’s Eastern Township, all in a day’s trek!
