South Hartford Vacations from $672

There was a lot to love about Holiday Inn Club Vacations Mount Ascutney, especially for a larger family or group. Our three-bedroom villa was BY FAR the largest accommodation of our trip and surprisingly affordable. We had tons of room to spread out, a decent-sized kitchen for cooking, and FREE laundry—a huge win during a long road trip! The villa kitchen was helpful but pretty minimally stocked. Cooking utensils and cutting boards were lacking, so bring some basics if you plan to cook. Grills are available, but you’ll need charcoal. I’d recommend buying it and any groceries before arriving because the onsite marketplace is expensive. The biggest disappointment was the pool, which is closed through 2027. Traveling with kids, that was a major bummer and definitely something families should know before booking. The location is incredibly beautiful, tucked away on a Vermont mountainside, but it is truly in the middle of nowhere. Come prepared! Overall, the incredible amount of space and affordability made it work really well for our group. It wasn’t our favorite stay of the trip, but the value for a three-bedroom villa was hard to beat.

Super pleasant stay, great desk staff.

Very pleasant experience from checking in to when we left. Very helpful front desk staff and hotel was very clean.

Nice place. Rooms are large, and there is ample space in the common areas. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. My room had a small balcony.
