Seasons & Things to Do

What is the best time of year to visit AJ Farm?

AJ Farm is a true four-season Vermont retreat. Winter (December–March) is peak ski season for Okemo and Killington with long fireside evenings. Spring (April–May) is the quiet Vermont thaw — mud season's quiet beauty and early greens. Summer (June–August) is Echo Lake mornings, paddleboarding, fireflies, and outdoor dinners. Fall (mid-September–mid-October) delivers some of the most iconic foliage in New England, with peak color typically the first two weeks of October.

Is AJ Farm a good ski rental for Okemo and Killington?

Yes. The property is one of the closer private lakefront homes to both mountains — about 20 minutes to Okemo Mountain Resort and 15 minutes to Killington. The mudroom, fireplace, and chef's kitchen are well suited to long ski days, and the house comfortably handles families and small ski groups of up to 8.

Can we swim or boat on Echo Lake?

Echo Lake is a clean, spring-fed Vermont lake well suited to swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, and quiet fishing. AJ Farm's private multi-level dock — directly across the road from the house — gives guests immediate, private lake access throughout the summer and shoulder seasons.

Is fall foliage really better in this part of Vermont?

Central Vermont — the corridor from Plymouth and Ludlow through Woodstock and Killington — is one of the most photographed fall regions in New England. Peak typically lands the first two weeks of October. AJ Farm's hillside views over Echo Lake and the Green Mountains make it one of the more dramatic foliage settings in the state.
