Ludlow

Situated in Windsor County, Ludlow features a rugged, picturesque landscape defined by the rolling peaks of the Green Mountains and the winding Black River. The town sits directly at the base of Okemo Mountain Resort, making it a premier destination for downhill skiing and snowboarding. You are never more than a few minutes from the chairlifts.

Beyond skiing, Ludlow and south-central Vermont provide ideal four-season offerings. During the winter, there’s also snowshoeing, ice skating, and plenty of fun in the snow. Warmer weather transforms the winter wonderland into a thrills-for-all playground: hike the trails at Okemo State Forest, swim in Lake Rescue, or golf at championship-level courses. Fall transforms the rolling hills into vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. With the cooler temperatures, it's the ideal time to hike, enjoy local festivals, and take in Autumn's colors.

If you enjoy history, Ludlow’s 150+ year old village past will keep you enthralled. Plan to check out the Ludlow Village Historic District, home to 19th-century architecture, or visit the Black River Academy Museum. This historic school building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, offers fascinating exhibits detailing the region's industrial and educational past. Notable alumni include U.S. President Calvin Coolidge, and Rotary founder Paul Harris, among others.

Aside from its year-round activities, Ludlow is also popular because it is accessible. It's an easy drive from Boston, New York City, and Hartford, providing a convenient escape from city life.

Whether you want to ski, hike, or explore Vermont's history, Ludlow provides an unforgettable retreat. Plan your Vermont mountain getaway and book your Ludlow vacation rental today.
