Sherman Ridge, named after Captain Sherman, who was at the forefront of the world’s steamboat revolution. After running a steamboat on the Hudson in competition with Robert Fulton, Sherman moved to Vergennes in 1813 to oversee construction and operations of six Lake Champlain Steamboats.  Sited at the highest northern-most area of Vergennes, you can hear the lulling sounds of the Vergennes Waterfalls in the distance and views beyond to Adirondack Mountains of New York. Learn more about this land: Great views of the Adirondack Mtns, sounds of the waterfalls in Vergennes and easily walk-able to downtown restaurants and brewpub!

Remote lot but city accessible
Gorgeous spot
The spot is absolutely pefect. We would stay again in a heartbeat if we could. Location is amazing, we visited Vergennes, Burlington, the Adirondack Mtns. and the Green Mtns. And everything in between! Scott is kind and caring.

It was a nice (and reasonable) lot for an evening stop over. Lot was fairly level. We walked into town with our dogs and got in a good workout as it has some up and down. My only issue is that the grass to the swing and picnic table had not been mowed recently. Grass by the driveway coming in was great, but I think the path to the other amenities should have been moved prior to our arrival.

This was a great spot, felt very remote but also super accessible to everything I wanted to see in the area.

This was a surprise gem. The driveway is long enough that you feel tucked in and there is a lovely swing, firepit and table. It is an easy walk to town, the hosts provided great suggestions. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!
