Summer on the mountain · Brownsville, Vermont

A Mount Ascutney cabin for hikers and riders.

The mountain fills the view from the deck, and its trails start minutes from the driveway: summit hikes, 45+ miles of hand-built singletrack, and a hot tub waiting when you get back.

Trails from the driveway

Ride it, hike it, then look at it.

Mount Ascutney stands alone above the Connecticut River valley, so the summit views reach all the way to the Whites on a clear day. The Ascutney Trails network wraps its western base, right where the cabin sits.
