Year-Round Activities at Your Doorstep
Located in the heart of the Green Mountain National Forest, #RFMCabins is the perfect home base for turning unhurried days into endless possibilities. In warmer months, take advantage of Ripton’s temperate weather to hike, bike, and explore the area’s innumerable swimming holes, picturesque trails and breathtaking vistas. Come winter, our grounds offer an easy, quintessential way to enjoy the snow by sled or snowshoe while the neighboring Middlebury Snowbowl and Rikert Nordic Center are ideal for those looking to ski and try out fat-tire biking. But if you want to experience a true Vermont mic drop, fall is where it’s at - resplendent foliage, plentiful orchards and apple cider donuts galore.
The Perfect Escape
Where Privacy Meets Modern Comfort
Thoughtfully situated to balance proximity and privacy, the cabins are within easy walking distance of one another and the property’s communal amenities, yet spaced to ensure you can engage as much—or as little—as you like. If you want to gather in the meadow for lawn games, make s’mores around the fire pit, or settle a competitive score over air hockey or foosball in the Loft, go for it. But if you’d rather enjoy a solitary chance to bird-watch while berry picking, curl up with a book from our little library, or simply soak in the panoramic view of Bread Loaf Mountain from the outdoor hot tub, that works too. However you choose to spend your time, we’re here to help.
Paws & Relax
Robert Frost Mountain Cabins is proudly pet-friendly, and we’re happy to welcome well-mannered, friendly pets during your stay. We provide our four-legged guests with a welcome bag including extra bedding, two bowls, a temporary tag should they go astray and bags for waste removal.
Gather Your Way
With space enough to accommodate groups of up to 50 guests, the #RFMCabins property is the perfect backdrop for your destination wedding, corporate retreat, family reunion or milestone celebration. Let us know your vision, and we’ll help you explore the possibilities.
Enhance Your Visit
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to take a break from your normal routine, the #RFMCabins team knows how to make your cabin stay truly memorable. Explore our curated vacation packages, seasonal specials and à la carte enhancements to unlock more mountain magic.
Close to Town
Just 20 minutes away from the college town of Middlebury, you have easy access to numerous shops, restaurants, cafes, a small movie house, a local theater, and a variety of attractions and seasonal festivals. The College’s Bread Loaf Campus with its distinctive turn-of-the century buildings where Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Robert Frost taught for 42 years is a 15-minute drive.
What Our Wonderful Guests Have to Say
- Perfect Combination of Rustic Charm and Modern AmenitiesThis was our second time visiting the Robert Frost Mountain Cabins and we already cannot wait to go back. The property is stunningly quiet and beautiful and very well maintained. The cabins are the perfect combination of rustic charm and modern amenities. You just feel so at peace when you are there. Situated on a mountain gives you a feel of seclusion as you're driving up to the property, but also, you're only about 20 minutes away from Middlebury with shops, restaurants, etc. Or go the other direction for amazing hiking and sightseeing. We highly recommend staying here and will be booking a longer stay in the not so distant future!
- Views Were Amazing!The whole stay was like a giant exhale! The cabins were beautiful, well-appointed, and private. The views were amazing, and Jaime and Chris couldn't have been nicer. We woke to fresh cinnamon twists warm from the oven. We stayed in a dog-friendly cabin and had the absolute best time!
- Hosts Were Gracious, Helpful & KindOur family stayed at the cabins in mid September and had a lovely, wonderful stay. The location is stunning, the cabins are spacious and well appointed. We grilled out on the grill, enjoyed the screened-in porch and sat in the hot tub looking at the stars. Chris and Jamie were gracious, helpful and kind. We had a lovely visit and will certainly return in the winter. I can't say enough how special the cabins are and how terrific the hosts were to us. Thank you for a spectacular weekend.
- Best Cabins!If you can't give this place a 5 star rating, then you really weren't looking for a "cabin in the woods!" Best cabins I think were ever stayed in. Clean, quiet, comfortable, and quaint.... and cinnamon twists to boot!
- We Loved Every MinuteJaime and Chris thought of everything. From a well-stocked kitchen, to nearby hot tub and walking trails, we are already dreaming of our next stay! They even had a bag of pet supplies for our dog! We loved every minute of our stay and look forward to returning.
- The Most Perfect Vacation Spot in NE!I WISH I COULD GIVE THEM 10 STARS! The most perfect vacation spot in NE! I never write reviews but could not miss the opportunity to absolutely rave about this place! We found it online and had never stayed there before, which is always a risk. But, we were blown away by the cabin, the area and our entire experience here! There is not ONE detail of comfort & hospitality that the owners missed! The cabins are beautifully decorated and incredibly comfortable. We stayed in Evening Star #6. The screen porch is where we spent most of our time. It is surrounded by woods on all sides. We heard and saw no one! This was the exact level of peace we were looking for this vacation.
- Our Stay Was Nothing Short of Exceptional!Our stay at Robert Frost Mountain Cabins in Ripton, VT—specifically Cabin #7—was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this place is something special. The cabin itself was spotless and instantly felt like home. Every corner was thoughtfully arranged, every amenity provided with genuine care. Jaime was incredibly friendly and welcoming, striking that perfect balance between warm hospitality and giving guests their privacy. What truly amazed us was the attention to detail. Every single need was anticipated, from cozy comforts to practical touches—and even thoughtful items for our dog, which we greatly appreciated!
- "Can We Stay Here Forever?!"There aren't even words to describe how amazing this place is! The property is gorgeous and perfectly maintained with care and pride. The cabin was immaculate, cozy, with every detail accounted for and everything you need readily available. The hosts were gracious and helpful with recommendations for restaurants. It is remote enough to feel the serenity and peace of VT, but close enough to a town with more amenities if needed. It is also so nice to have a place we can bring our dog, as he is not an easy dog to leave behind and this often limits our travel. After 2 minutes in our cabin, we said "you think we can buy this and just stay here forever?!" We will absolutely be back!
