We are also located just 5 – 10 minutes from a handful of restaurants, markets, and grocery stores in Jeffersonville that offer breakfast, lunch, dinner, takeout options, and grocery items.
Check out our Enhancements page to browse our bundles and baskets that include locally sourced ingredients and ready-to-cook foods that can be waiting for you in your cabin.
Yes, you can fish in our ponds on the property (catch and release only). Our large pond is best for fishing. You do not need to purchase a Vermont Fishing License in order to fish our pond.
The pond is safe for swimming, but it is shallow in some parts, so many guests prefer the pool.
Our private pond is “skate at your own risk.” The closest places to ice skate in the winter are Smuggler’s Notch Ski Resort and The Lodge at Spruce Peak.
Our pool is a seasonal outdoor, in-ground pool. We open our pool in late May (typically Memorial Day Weekend) and close it in mid-September. It is a heated pool.
We do not have a hot tub on the property. Some of our cabins (all of our one-bedroom cabins, Field and Stream Cabin, and A-Frame on the Ridge) have jetted tubs in the bathroom.
The pool is open seasonally from 9AM – 8PM. The game room is open year-round from 9AM – 8PM.
Yes, we have a small store in our main office called The Ridge Store. We have snacks, beverages (including beer and wine), and novelty items for sale, such as local meats, ice cream, pizzas, etc.
Our only common areas on site are our Main Office/Welcome Center, Game Room, pool area, and outdoor spaces. All cabins/homes are private rentals, so no living spaces or kitchens are shared.
Yes, we have laundry facilities in our game room that are available for all guests. Some of our larger houses and cabins have in-home laundry, including A-Frame on the Ridge, Field & Stream Cabin, Ridgeview Cabin, Pond House, and The Roost.

Sterling Ridge does not offer daily housekeeping services, as our guests tend to enjoy their privacy. However, if you need any extra supplies or fresh bedding at any point during your stay, those items can be found or requested at our main office.
Yes, we provide pack n plays and high chairs upon request.
