Conveniently located near Killington and Pico Mountains - we're less than 4 miles west of Killington Road - a short 13 minute drive gets you to the Rams Head base of Killington Mountain, the "Beast of the East" with 155 trails over 1,509 skiable acres. Pico Mountain is merely a 4 minute drive, and a great family mountain with 58 trails over 468 skiable acres.
Enjoy proximity to the world famous apres-ski and nightlife along Killington Road, while being immersed in the natural beauty of VT's Green Mountain National Forest.
Back at the house after a day out, you'll enjoy the private outdoor hot tub, can sit back and relax by the fire pit and enjoy s'mores with loved ones. When you're ready to come in from the outdoors, you are welcomed into a cozy yet spacious living room with ample seating, gas fireplace, many large windows and high ceilings offering lots of natural light and superb mountain views. Warm up with a cup of hot cocoa from the well-appointed country kitchen, then enjoy a family meal at the dining room table.
In the off-season, guests enjoy hiking the Long Trail, mountain biking, beautiful golf courses, pristine lakes for boating/fishing/swimming, lawn games, fall foliage, sugaring, and much, much more. There is something for everyone in Vermont!
Our home is well furnished to accommodate comfortable sleeping for your group and plenty of space to spread out. We've been happy to host family reunions, ski trips and summertime "work from the mountains" retreats! We look forward to welcoming your group!
