About
Five cabins at Mount Ascutney State Park. A cozy one-room cabin furnished with bunk beds and a futon or sleeper couch (bring your own linens, blankets, pillows, and towels), a table and two chairs, an overhead light, but NO electricity, a covered front porch, a picnic table, and a fire ring with a cooking grate. There's no kitchen or bathroom inside - cooking is done outside (bring your own cookware), and restrooms and showers are a short walk away. Cascadnack, Dudley, and Ogden are wheelchair accessible and pet-friendly; Aldrich and Crofters are neither.
Fees
$60/night for Vermont residents, $85/night for non-residents, plus $8/person/night beyond the base occupancy (6 people max per site). No cleaning deposit is required for cabins. Pets allowed on a leash cost $3/pet/night, same as Vermont's campsites.
The 2026 season runs May 15 - October 11, a warm-weather-only stay with no winter access. Unlike Vermont's other state park cabins, none of Mount Ascutney's have electricity.
