Overlooking Caspian Lake, this recently revamped lodge has 10 simply furnished, lacy-curtained upstairs rooms, an on-site restaurant and bar serving Hill Farmstead brews on tap, and 10 cabins (four of them winterized) just up the hill. For skiers the big draw is the fabulous trail network out back, allowing you to ski all the way to Craftsbury Outdoor Center.
