Family ski getaway, minutes from two ski mountains

This home is perfect for a relaxed ski getaway with friends or family. Recently renovated, the house is on a wooded acre three miles from the base of Stratton Mountain, one of southern Vermont's best ski resorts. Just seven miles in the other direction is Bromley Mountain, a wonderful family ski mountain that converts to an alpine adventure park in summer.

Enter at the ground floor into a mudroom with radiant floors, so kids and adults can shed snowy gear. Also on that floor: four bedrooms, laundry and one full bath. One bedroom has a king bed, one has a queen, one has a full and a twin, and one has a set of bunkbeds plus a twin, plus a trundle under the bottom bunk.

Upstairs, find an open layout with kitchen, large dining table that seats 8, living area with fireplace, reading area and another full bath. Behind double sliding doors is a rec room with ping pong, a TV monitor, and lots of kids games. For kids, there is a trampoline outside, as well as a sledding hill in the backyard. The house has a lovely view of Stratton Mountain from the deck, which has a gas grill, Adirondack chairs and picnic table.

Driving distances from the house are 10 minutes to Stratton village and lifts; 10 minutes to Bromley lifts and lodge; 15 minutes to Magic Mountain; 20 minutes to the town of Manchester. Okemo and Killington are about a 45-minute and one-hour drive, respectively, up Route 100.
