Welcome to Vernon, New Jersey – Nature, Adventure & Small-Town Charm All in One!

Nestled in the scenic heart of Sussex County, Vernon is a four-season playground surrounded by rolling mountains, lush forests, and outdoor adventure. Whether you're here to hike the iconic Appalachian Trail, hit the slopes at Mountain Creek, or unwind with a glass of wine at a local vineyard, Vernon offers the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation.

Our neighborhood is just steps from Mountain Creek Resort, where you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and a thrilling waterpark—depending on the season! Love nature? You'll find endless hiking and biking trails, breathtaking lookout points, and peaceful lakes nearby.

Just a short drive away, explore the charming town of Warwick, NY, filled with boutique shops, cozy cafés, cideries, and orchards (hello, apple picking and cider donuts!). In the fall, the foliage is spectacular; in summer, the festivals come alive. Even family favorites like LegoLand are only 30 minutes away.

All this just one hour from NYC, but a world away in peace and beauty. Whether you're seeking adventure, a romantic getaway, or quality time with family, our neighborhood in Vernon is a hidden gem waiting to be explored.

Vernon is best explored by car, giving you the freedom to enjoy everything the area has to offer—from local farm stands and hiking trailheads to wineries and nearby towns like Warwick, NY.

Once you’re here, you’ll love how walkable some attractions are! Mountain Creek Resort is just steps from the building—no need to drive. Whether you're heading to the slopes, the waterpark, or dining nearby, everything is easily accessible on foot.

Need to venture a bit farther? Parking is free and easy throughout the area, and most spots are just a short scenic drive away. If you're looking for a little day trip, Warwick, NY is only 10 minutes north and full of charming shops, restaurants, and seasonal events.

While ride-sharing apps like Uber or Lyft are limited in this rural area, local taxis and car services are available with a little advance notice.

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Latus

Host profile image
I have been proud to work in the hospitality industry since 2005, gaining nearly two decades of experience in creating welcoming, memorable stays for guests. Over the years, I have developed a strong commitment to excellence, with a focus on maintaining properties that are clean, thoughtfully updated, and designed with comfort in mind.

Each of my listings is carefully curated to provide a relaxing and enjoyable environment. I place great emphasis on attention to detail—whether that means ensuring the space is fully equipped with modern amenities, keeping interiors fresh and stylish through regular updates, or anticipating the little touches that make a guest feel at home.

I take pride in the locations of my listings, which I personally love and enjoy sharing with others. My goal is always to provide guests with everything they need to unwind, explore, and make the most of their time. From the initial booking to the moment of check-out, I strive to offer a smooth, stress-free experience that reflects both professionalism and genuine care.

Why they chose this property

I absolutely love Vernon! Nestled in the scenic heart of Sussex County, Vernon is a four-season playground surrounded by rolling mountains, lush forests, and outdoor adventure. Whether you're here to hike the iconic Appalachian Trail, hit the slopes at Mountain Creek, or unwind with a glass of wine at a local vineyard, Vernon offers the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation.

Our neighborhood is just steps from Mountain Creek Resort, where you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and a thrilling waterpark—depending on the season! Love nature? You'll find endless hiking and biking trails, breathtaking lookout points, and peaceful lakes nearby.

Just a short drive away, explore the charming town of Warwick, NY, filled with boutique shops, cozy cafés, cideries, and orchards (hello, apple picking and cider donuts!). In the fall, the foliage is spectacular; in summer, the festivals come alive. Even family favorites like LegoLand are only 30 minutes away.

All this just one hour from NYC, but a world away in peace and beauty. Whether you're seeking adventure, a romantic getaway, or quality time with family, our neighborhood in Vernon is a hidden gem waiting to be explored.

What makes this property unique

The Appalachian stands out as a true four-season destination, offering the rare convenience of ski-in/ski-out access right at Mountain Creek. Our condo is uniquely positioned—not directly on the pool or main slope side, but instead facing Vernon Valley, where guests are treated to sweeping views and breathtaking sunsets each evening. From the comfort of your private balcony, you can watch the sky transform over the valley, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure. This combination of direct mountain access and serene valley views makes our home a one-of-a-kind retreat.
