Dine, Unwind, and Ski Under the Stars: The Allyn’s Lodge Experience
Discover Sugarbush in a whole new light—under the stars—with the Allyn’s Lodge Experience. This unforgettable evening combines adventure, fine dining, and the serene beauty of Vermont’s winter landscape for a one-of-a-kind mountain outing.

Your journey begins with a scenic ride to Lincoln Peak’s Allyn’s Lodge in a heated cabin cat, comfortably seating up to nine guests. For those seeking a more active ascent, you can choose to snowshoe or skin to the lodge, guided by a Sugarbush expert.

At the lodge, an intimate, candlelit setting welcomes you to a culinary experience like no other. Choose from à la carte dinners open to the public or reserve a private five-course dining experience for an exclusive evening with friends and family. Either way, you'll savor upscale Vermont-inspired dishes featuring hors d’oeuvres, soup, salad, a carefully crafted entrée, and dessert, all served by the glow of a crackling fire. Special menu requests are available to ensure your meal is tailored to your tastes.

After dinner, the adventure continues with a moonlit ski down a freshly groomed trail, guided by ski patrol—a sensory experience that blends tranquility and excitement. Prefer to skip the slopes? Descend to the base in the comfort of the heated cabin cat instead.

Whether you’re joining us for a public dinner, hosting a private gathering, or embracing the thrill of moonlit skiing, the Allyn’s Lodge Experience offers memories to cherish for a lifetime.

    We truly enjoyed our Allyns dinner event. It was such pretty and unique location. Allyn’s was decorated beautifully with a roaring fire, white linen table setting in the cozy rustic lodge. The food was outstanding- one of the best meals I’ve enjoyed in the valley. And so much fun to hike up and ski down at night. We were so lucky with a beautiful gentle snow piling up while we dined. The dinner was topped off with an amazing smooth powder ski down with our headlamps. Many thanks to our patrol guides who led the way.
