Things to do in Montgomery Center

Beyond the hotel room

Montgomery Center's charm radiates from its outdoor landscape and heritage. The Montgomery covered bridges—one of the country's densest collections—invite walking, photography, and nostalgic exploration, especially stunning during fall foliage. Jay Peak Resort, 15 minutes north, dominates winter calendars with abundant snow and a summer waterpark. The Hazen's Notch offers both hiking and Nordic skiing, with alpine vistas rewarding the effort. The Trout River flows through the village, inviting fly-fishing, paddling, and cool summer swimming holes. Route 242 climbs dramatically toward Jay, offering scenic drives. The tiny Montgomery Center village holds a few restaurants and a general store for supplies and local flavor. Beyond: cross-border day trips toward Montreal (1.5 hours) bring cosmopolitan flavor, while northern Vermont back-road drives through rural foliage offer quintessential autumn beauty without Stowe's crowds.

There is more within easy reach: The Montgomery covered bridges — one of the densest collections of historic covered bridges in the country; The village of Montgomery Center — a few restaurants and a general store. Seasonal highlights include Jay Peak ski season and waterpark (year-round), Montgomery covered-bridge tours and fall foliage (October), Hazen's Notch Nordic season (winter). Montgomery Center rewards visits in every season, from green-season hiking and water days to brilliant autumn foliage and quiet, snow-dusted winters. And because Montgomery Center sits within easy reach of East Burke, Stowe, Jeffersonville, it works well as a base for wider day trips across the region.

Phineas Swann Inn & Spa

4.9·254 Google reviews

"I love this place. We stayed in the trout river suite and enjoyed a relaxing vacation with our dogs. The suite has everything we need for a perfect weekend. The remote was missing for the DVD player but Darren found one from his collection. I love the new Sasquatch across the river. Breakfast was fabulous. The baked apple pancakes are my new favorite."

Getting here

How to reach Montgomery Center

Montgomery Center sits at the junction of Routes 118 and 242 in far-northern Vermont, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes southwest of Burlington International Airport (BTV)—the nearest major airport. A car is essential; this remote region has no transit. Route 242 climbs to Jay Peak (15 min). Montreal lies about 1 hour 30 minutes north across the Canadian border, making cross-border day trips feasible with a passport. Roads can be snowy and challenging in winter—plan accordingly. Jay Peak is about 15 minutes north; Montreal roughly 1 hour 30 minutes. Once you have arrived, plan to keep a car for day trips around the region; most attractions are an easy drive, and parking at the hotel is straightforward. There is no need to rush between stops — distances in this part of Maine are short, the roads are scenic, and you can comfortably pair a morning outing with an afternoon one and still be back at the hotel by evening.

Tub types, explained

What's the difference between a jacuzzi, whirlpool, and soaking tub?

Jacuzzi

Technically a brand name, but used generically for any jetted tub. In hotel listings, "jacuzzi suite" almost always means a private in-room tub with built-in air or water jets. Heat is usually preset; jets are user-controlled.

Whirlpool

Functionally identical to a jacuzzi — water jets circulate heated water for a massage effect. The term is more common at Marriott, Hilton, and Wyndham brands. Most "whirlpool suites" hold two adults comfortably.

Soaking tub

Deeper than a standard bathtub, usually 18–22 inches, but with no jets. Common in boutique and luxury hotels — quieter, more spa-like, and better for a long hot soak than the jet-driven hum of a jacuzzi.

Hot tub

In strict use, a standalone heated tub holding 100°F+ water. In hotel marketing, often used interchangeably with jacuzzi or whirlpool. A genuine in-room "hot tub" with full thermostat control is rare outside cabin-style resorts.

Every listing on this page specifies which type you'll find in the room. We list only properties with the tub in your room — not in a shared pool area or the lobby spa.

Why trust us

Hand-verified. No AI filler.

Every hotel on this page has been personally verified to have a private, in-room hot tub or jacuzzi — not a shared pool tub, not a bathroom soaker, not a spa amenity you have to book. We cross-check three sources for every listing: the hotel's own room photos and descriptions, recent guest reviews on TripAdvisor and Google, and direct confirmation from the hotel where unclear. We don't take payment for placement, and we don't generate listings with AI. If a hotel's tub status changes or a property closes, the page updates the next time we re-verify the city (Dothan was last checked May 2026).
