Homes on the slopes

Explore vacation rentals in ski destinations

If you prefer your 2025 vacations with a nice big dose of adventure, then it might be time to plan a vacation in a ski resort. Carving down steep slopes on a pair of skis or a snowboard is the heart and soul of a ski vacation. But there's plenty of fun to be had even for the non-skiers in the family. Ski resorts are hives of activity almost all year round. During the winter, you can enjoy ice skating, sledding, and tobogganing, as well as plain old relaxing in the sun on the terrace of a lively après-ski bar.

With Vrbo, you can access thousands of vacation rentals in ski destinations across the country. Discover luxury ski chalet rentals fit for a trip of a lifetime with friends in Utah's Park City. Plan a romantic break for 2 in a cozy lodge in one of the many resorts near Lake Tahoe. Find spacious condos with all the features and amenities you could need for a fun school break with the entire family. Learning to ski takes a bit of time and patience. When you're a complete beginner, it can take about a week with daily lessons to learn how to ski. But just like biking, it's a skill that you never really forget. And the feeling of zooming down a blue slope by yourself for the first time is nothing short of exhilarating.

Think of it as the swim-up bars of the mountains. These homes are typically the most desirable, so ski house rentals with ski-in ski-out options are often on the pricier side.
