Looking to travel somewhere with beautiful foliage this fall? Vermont is the best state to see autumn colors, according to Airbnb.
The online vacation rental marketplace recently released 2025 fall travel trends, using data from over the last year to analyze things like top Gen Z travel destinations, coastal towns on the rise and top experiences for adventures this upcoming season.
For top destinations to see fall foliage, Airbnb named Vermont as the best state, beating out its neighbors New Hampshire and New York. Here’s what they said about leaf peeping in the Green Mountain State.
According to Airbnb guest reviews, Vermont is the best travel destination for fall foliage, with the most mentions of words like “fall,” “autumn,” “foliage,” “maple” and “color” in listing reviews. Fun fact: Vermont has the densest population of sugar maples, which turn a brilliant red, and is also why Vermont produces the most maple syrup. An Airbnb survey conducted by Focaldata in August 2025 shows that 83% of respondents find foliage to be an important factor when choosing a fall vacation spot.
Specifically, the most wishlisted stay in Vermont between the months of September and November last year was a luxury glass house in Warren, where the mirrored walls provide breathtaking views of fall colors sweeping the Green Mountains.
Here is Airbnb’s list of the top five states for fall foliage:
