Lake Willoughby is hailed as one of the real jewels of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Glimmering and glistening in green-blue hues beneath its surrounding cliffs and forest-clad mountains, one of its main attractions is the Willoughby Lake Beach – a long stretch of glowing sand that runs along its northern banks. Then there's the Willoughby State Forest in the south, which encompasses the sculpted tops of Mount Pisgah and Mount Hor, and packs in enchanting walking trails and lookouts. Little Westmore is also worth a stop, known for its welcoming vibes and hearty New England gastropubs.
Lake Willoughby vacation rentals on the water's edge offer a chance to really surround yourself with the serene natural backcountry of northern New England. You'll have chances to meditate to the sound of swaying oak trees. You'll have kayaks waiting on your private jetties. You'll have walking trails weaving from your doorstep and up to the tops of the surrounding peaks. And when you need a dose of civilization, there's always hearty local towns, loaded with enticing country inns and grill houses and pubs.
Although the warmer months of the summer, between June and August, are the peak times to visit Lake Willoughby, you're still likely to discover seclusion and solitude in this shimmering gem of northern Vermont. Whether you're in search of a romantic bolthole beneath Mount Hor, or want family-friendly Lake Willoughby vacation rentals with waterside access, you can rest assured that the stays here are sufficiently spread out enough to allow for real immersion in nature no matter the season.
A trip to Lake Willoughby takes you deep into the very northern reaches of New England. With the Canadian border just 20 miles to the north, you'll be bedding down in one of the more remote corners of Vermont. That only adds to the beauty of the glorious natural surroundings of the lake, which range from sandy beaches on the north shore to dense groves of oak and beech and maple trees on the peaks to the south. And talking of peaks, the Willoughby State Forest is home to the iconic heights of Mount Pisgah, where falcon-spotted Pulpit Rock juts overhead.
