About this house rental
The Skylight Ski Lodge is the perfect Vermont getaway.
Located just off VT-Route 30 outside Manchester Center, the Lodge places you within 35 minutes of several premier ski destinations, including Stratton, Bromley, and Okemo. Winter adventurers will also appreciate direct access to the VAST snowmobile trail system and the surrounding beauty of the Green Mountains.
After a day outdoors, return to the comfort of the Lodge, where two expansive great rooms with impressive native stone fireplaces and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen invite you to relax, refuel, and reconnect.
About Skylight Ski Lodge
Originally built in 1950, Skylight Ski Lodge operated as a beloved Vermont inn from 1952 to 2002. In its heyday, Ski Magazine (February 1977) noted, “Most of the serious skiers who frequent the Skylight Lodge wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else.”
Today, the Lodge has been thoughtfully renovated to honor its storied past while offering modern comfort and amenities. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout—from maple trees milled on-site for trim and flooring to the two grand great rooms anchored by massive, wood-burning stone fireplaces.
Skylight Ski Lodge continues to welcome guests with the same spirit of warmth, adventure, and connection that has defined it for generations—a timeless Vermont retreat where memories are made year after year.
The Space
Guests enjoy exclusive access to the entire home—it’s all yours during your stay. With seven bedrooms, two spacious great rooms, and ample indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, the Lodge is perfectly suited for large families, groups, and reunions.
Unwind by the outdoor fire pit under the stars or enjoy the scenic pond on the property. Please note that swimming in summer and skating in winter are at your own risk.
Guest Access & Support
The Lodge offers private, self check-in via a smart lock, with detailed arrival instructions provided prior to check-in. While we don’t live on-site, our local property manager is nearby and available if needed. We’re also just a message away and happy to assist with anything from house questions to local dining and activity recommendations.
Good to Know
Skylight Ski Lodge is a private mountain retreat designed for relaxation and connection. The home operates on a septic system, so we kindly ask guests to be mindful of water usage.
Winter travelers should plan for snowy conditions—4WD or AWD vehicles are strongly recommended. A starter bundle of firewood is provided, and we’ll share details on local firewood purchase options before arrival.
For ski and snowboard guests, we’ve partnered with Ski Butlers for convenient in-home equipment delivery and fittings. A detailed house guide will be sent prior to check-in to help you settle in with ease.
Our goal is simple: arrive, unwind, and enjoy everything Vermont—and Skylight Ski Lodge—has to offer.

The name might suggest a house full of skylights (spoiler: there aren’t any), it wasn’t a dealbreaker for us.The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped—we were able to prepare and enjoy multiple sit-down dinners for 17 people using both the kitchen and the adjacent dining area.The great room is a fantastic space for adults to relax, featuring a cozy fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating. It was also helpful to have a separate living room with a TV, board games, and lots of room for the kids to play.The yard is large, with a great deck, ample space for lawn games, and a nice fire pit for evening hangouts.The Wi-Fi worked well, and expected linens and supplies were ample. One note: the bedrooms don’t have curtains or blinds, so consider bringing a sleep mask if you’re sensitive to early morning light. That said, the beds were very comfortable, and everyone slept well.

We enjoyed skylight lodge. We get together with family and friends each year to do an annual fundraising event. The house was perfect for our group. The big fireplace was a great way to relax after a day of skiing or snowshoeing.

We had a great trip even though the weather did not cooperate. The home was just right for a group our size with plenty of extra room to spread out and relax. We loved the charm and feel of an old inn and close proximity to the mountain, town and shopping. Owners were very responsive and receptive to feedback. Would love to stay again.

My family and I had a great stay at the Skylight Lodge. It is very different from other rentals, being a former inn. There is plenty of space for a big group and the two master suites are great. The fireplace in the main room is like something out of game of thrones, and was the highlight of the trip for the adults. The kids spent most of the time playing games in the second living room on the first floor. The house is also very conveniently located near Manchester. We would definitely come back.
