Summer Adventures Await -- Book now for the Horse Show & Explore Manchester

The Skylight Ski Lodge is the perfect destination for winter and summer sports! Situated just off VT-Route 30 outside Manchester, VT , your stay will be within 35 minutes of multiple ski mountains including Stratton, Bromley, and Okemo just to name a few. If you want to head a little further north, Killington is only a short hour away! If you love to snowmobile in the winter, the Lodge is on the VAST trail system and surrounded by the Green Mountains. When you are ready to head in for the day, 2 great rooms with large stone fireplaces and a gourmet kitchen will be ready for you to relax and refuel! Once the pond freezes over, gather friends and family to go ice skating or play a friendly game of ice hockey! Skylight Ski Lodge is perfect for getting the whole gang together! We look forward to welcoming you to our home. Your Vermont memories are waiting…

Comfy family ski lodge
Loved our stay at the lodge. Perfect for five families with children of varying ages. Roomy, clean, amenities galore. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and great room with fireplace. Hosts were super-communicative.

The perfect ski trip getaway
My group of friends has been taking an annual ski trip in Vermont for over a decade now. We're tried a few different properties and the Skylight Ski Lodge instantly vaulted to the top of our list. The location is incredibly convenient, the layout is perfect, and the vibes are charming. The hosts advertise things exactly as they are and communicate clearly!

Great place for a group getaway
This is a wonderful property for a Vermont getaway, with large common areas and plenty of beds for a crowd. It's in the perfect location for access to Manchester, Bromley, and hiking on the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail.

Early March 2024
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.

Second Time Staying!
We love this house and property. So great for large groups. Two real master suites on the third floor make this perfect for two large families, etc. We just spent Thanksgiving 2019 and had a great time even in the "mud season".

Beautiful Home!
The house and surrounding area was beautiful, clean and well-maintained. They provided toiletries and other nice extras. The kitchen was spacious and there were so many places for a large family to gather both inside and outside. The owners were helpful and responsive. If we come to this area again, we will definitely stay at this house. Was a perfect weekend!

4th Year In A Row & Great As Always!
My office (KSS Architects) has been staying at the Skylight Ski Lodge for 4 years now, and it is the perfect place for our annual Vermont Ski Trip! It sleeps more than any other property in the area, has the perfect gathering space for dinner, and the lodge itself is just gorgeous. The owners are wonderful, the kitchen is legit, and those master bedrooms are luxurious. You absolutely cannot go wrong staying here!

Great stay
This house was a terrific place for our family and friends to stay during our annual ski week in VT. The location to the slopes was great--so close to Bromley and Stratton! Easy access to the main roads. The house was fully stocked and clean. There was plenty of room for multiple families to share. Communication with the owner was always prompt and helpful. We can't wait to return!

This house is amazing! It’s clean, has great spaces and really well outfitted with everything you could need. We had a birthday dinner for my husband and yard and house were the perfect setting.

Family fun at Skylight Lodge
Our family with adult children had a fantastic week at Skylight Lodge. The house had plenty of space for us to spread out and enjoy…places to sit and read, do puzzles, play board games, and watch movies. Plenty of outdoor space for yard games too. My husband and I love visiting Manchester and the location was perfect to introduce our kids to the area. Great communication, easy check in. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing stay!
The pictures do not do the home justice. The house is huge and comfortably fit my group of 14 adults. The location is perfect for going to Stratton mountain. The house was clean and had great amenities. Liz was an amazing host so helpful and accommodating. I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Awesome experience with terrific owners!
The house was absolutely perfect for a Vermont fall getaway and easily accommodated multiple families. It was clean, new and communicating with the owners was an absolute pleasure. They were responsive, flexible and went above and beyond in accommodating our needs. We WILL be going back in the future and highly recommend this home to others!

This was our fourth year staying with a few families at Skylight lodge and it was once again wonderful. The lodge is perfect, clean, well stocked and Liz is very attentive and responsive. Can’t think of a single thing that could be improved. The property is ideally located between downtown Manchester and the ski mountains. We look forward to this trip all year!

Excellent house, excellent communication!
We enjoyed this house very much. Great layout on the main floor (kitchen, TV room, fireplace room); all bedrooms are on the second and third floor. The kitchen had all that we could ask for as we prepared dinner at the house two of our nights. We also used the grill, deck, and backyard. The owners were great and check-in was simple. We strongly recommend this home.

Incredible House!
We stayed at Skylight to celebrate my wife's birthday over President's Day Weekend and it could not have been a better place to stay at. Great common area space and ample bedrooms make this a perfect stay. It is also very close to ski at Stratton and Bromley or head into downtown Manchester. Everyone loved it! Liz was very responsive and answered all of my questions throughout. We hope to make this more of an annual trip in the future!

Love Skylight!!
This is our fourth time at Skylight with a group of families we ho on an annual ski trip. We love the house and it’s proximity to Bromley. The hangout areas are awesome and the bedrooms are well thought out with different combinations of beds—bunks, fulls, queens, kings—to accommodate everyone. The property owner was really attentive and replied immediately. We look forward to returning to Skylight.

Perfect house for family get together.
We have been doing a large multi-generational family ski vacation for over 10-years. This is our first visit to Skylight and I think it was the best one yet. The house is amazingly spacious with plenty of room for cozy fires, games and movies. Liz and Steve were terrific hosts and made everything easy. Steve even had a fire going for us when we arrived! We would absolutely go back.
