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.

For a smooth, carefree visit, we recommend arriving by car and settling in for a stay full of adventure, beauty, and convenience!

Comfortable, homey and just an smooth process overall.

We were only staying for the one night and we found the whole process between checking in, parking and communicating with Stacey was very easy and welcoming. While the facility itself didn't have a ton of other guest (based on the season I assume), all of the amenities were working away i.e. the heated pool, sauna, hot tub etc. The apartment was cozy and had a lovely welcome package with loads of tips for food and activities nearby which we made use of. Thanks for your quick communication Stacey, if we're back in the area we'll definitely stay again for longer next time.

Great quick getaway!

It was great! If we decide to stay for more than one night we would for sure come back. Everything was closed at mountain creek even though they said they would be open when we asked.Just fyi Probably May will be better to stay. The place was so cute and clean and the owner Stacey was lovely. Definitely recommend and will come back in the summer and winter when more things are open! Nothing but positive experience !!

This was an amazing location with incredible views around us - we got to watch the sunset from the balcony and took advantage of the pool and hot tub. There was a wedding at the resort which limited our on-site dinner options but Stacey had some great recommendations in the guest book for Vernon and Warwick which were a super short drive so it all worked out! Would highly recommend for a relaxing getaway
