Jamaica

While the name “Jamaica” might initially conjure up images of white sand beaches and tropical palms unrelated to its New England equivalent, Vermont’s version is no less beautiful. For those glampers wishing to explore the authentic heart of the state, Jamaica, nestled amid the wooded slopes of the undulating Green Mountains from which the state takes its name, offers the perfect mix of rugged landscapes, small-town charm, and glamping luxury. Winter sports enthusiasts will want to make the most of Jamaica’s proximity to mountain resorts such as Stratton Mountain, the first ski area in the USA to officially permit snowboarding, and Okemo, a family winter favorite, while the area will also satisfy the demands of even the most ardent hiker, seeker of fall color, or tourist who wishes to explore characterful small towns such as nearby Brattleboro with its thriving art scene.
