Luxury Ski & Summer Killington Condo, #39

Contactless check-in steps from Killington Skiing/ Mountain Biking/ Adventure Center, refurbished ski-home condo with its own private sauna, hotel-style condo amenities, excellent common area (pool, jacuzzi, showers, etc) in idyllic central Vermont. Nestled in a serene setting, this welcoming property offers a cozy retreat for guests. Travel guide provided after booking!

The resort includes an indoor pool, two hot tubs, pool table, treadmills, and is nestled at the base of the mountain with its own ski-home trail (or mountain bike-home in the summer).

Luxury 1-bedroom refurbished condo at Trail Creek Condominiums, granite bar opposite new kitchen. Classed by Killington Resort as “Class A” and one of the nicest units in the resort (many are "B" or "C" in the complex).

TRAVEL:

The address is Trail Creek Condominiums, 522 East Mountain Road (unit 39), Killington, VT 05751. From New York City, take I-87N to exit 20, then Route 149 to Route 4 through Rutland to Killington. Once at Killington, you will see Killington Road (AKA “The Killington Access Road”) that has all the main restaurants, night spots, and ski stores as you drive up toward the mountain. Just before the Snowshed base area, turn left onto East Mountain Road. Then Trail Creek is just a one-minute drive along East Mountain Road -- it is about the 2nd driveway on the right after The Grand Hotel. After you turn right into the Trail Creek driveway:
* For unit 39, take the first left within the parking lot and then take the first free parking spot you find. Ultimately, feel free to park anywhere in the lot. There is no limit to the number of cars you may bring.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING:
There are multiple destination chargers in the upper parking lot of Snowshed base or the nearby golf club (which are 5 mins walk away from Trail Creek; see the official Tesla map). If you want to top up before heading up to Killington, use the Rutland Supercharger, or just leave your Tesla plugged in overnight at the destination charger whenever needed. Unfortunately, I can’t vouch for any non-Tesla chargers due to reliability concerns.

CHECK-IN:
* Standard check-in time is 5PM. However, the pool/ jacuzzi area (which includes showers/changing rooms) will be available to you with the same code from 10AM on your check-in day (i.e. much earlier) and until 10PM on the day you check out. Killington also has many happy hour options like The Lookout restaurant and bar.
* Digital smart locks are installed. You will get an email with the passcode as part of your booking confirmation message. Wait for the beeps before turning the handle or try the handle again if it doesn't engage the first time. The code is your personal code; it will work during your stay only.
* Trash and recycle bins are in the drawer next to the stove (unit 39). Please discard full garbage bags in the dumpsters behind the maintenance shed across the main parking lot (near the main road).
* Thermostat for the living room is built into the gas heater itself (flip open the flap) and bedrooms have wall thermostats. If the gas room heater ever flashes "99" it means snow needs to be cleared away from the exhaust pipe outside (directly behind the heater wall).
* Sofa bed: Extra sheets and blankets should be in closets/walk-in closet, or let me know if not.

CHECK-OUT:
* Standard check-out time is 11AM.
* Please throw the last dirty dishes into the machine with a soap pellet (not the green liquid) and switch it on when you check-out. No need to put them away but please minimize dirty dishes left lying around.
* Sofa bed: Please remove soiled sheets from the sofa bed mattress except the padded “mattress pad” (leave the mattress pad on the mattress). All other soiled sheets for regular beds will be noticed by the cleaning crew, so nothing special needed there.
* Filled garbage and recycling bags can be disposed of at the dumpsters behind the maintenance shed across the parking lot.
* Standard check-out is 11am, but feel free to use the pool/ hot tub area and changing rooms after vacating the condo and loading the car with luggage, then skiing (or biking), to "in effect" extend your stay and get the benefit of a shower and a place to get changed or relax. You’ll have access until 10PM. The pool/ jacuzzi building is right next door to units 39.
