Located on 400 acres in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Lakeside Retreats at Camp Akeela is a spot where groups can really "get away from it all" with spectacular scenery, privacy, and an abundance of outdoor activity choices. In addition to the natural wooded beauty of Vermont's mountains, the property also boasts a location along the shores of Miller Pond, a pristine secluded lake, and is surrounded by some of the best hiking in New England. Despite the "remote feel" Akeela is easily accessible by car (2 1/2 hours from Boston, less than 5 hours from NYC) and by plane (it's 25 minutes from Hanover, NH and the West Lebanon airport).
