Perched on a gentle knoll in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Arcady at the Sunderland Motor Lodge is a pastoral scene set in 16 acres of rolling lawns and forests of maple, birch, pine and oak.

The splendor of the Vermont countryside is just outside your door as you sit on your sun porch, stroll on the lawns, take a dip in the pool or relax after a busy day in our old fashioned cedar hot tub heated by a wood burning stove.

In this setting, Arcady offers a memorable experience to travelers, vacationers, families with children, folks just looking for a weekend getaway, and anyone else who loves peace, beautiful surroundings and privacy with modern conveniences.

This location is ideally situated to take advantage of the many activities and events during spring, summer and winter, and of course, the unmatched beauty of foliage in the Fall.

Arcady is located in beautiful Southern Vermont, between Norman Rockwell's Arlington (3 minutes to the south) and Manchester's shopping and restaurants (5 minutes to the north), on Historic Route 7A.
