Retro A-Frame Mountain Chalet with Hot Tub – 7 Min to Killington K1 Lodge
Tucked in the trees just 7 minutes from Killington’s K1 Lodge, Château Charmaine is a 1969 mid-century A-frame chalet that combines nostalgic charm with modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, the warm wood siding and A-frame silhouette set the tone for a mountain getaway with style.
Step inside to the spacious living room, where exposed wood beams and a cozy pellet stove welcome you in. Curl up on the velvet green chaise, drop the needle on a vinyl record, and let the mid-century lamps cast their warm glow as the forest fades into night.
Gather with friends and family in the dining area beneath chic pendant lights, or cook together in the well-equipped kitchen that makes meals easy and social.
At bedtime, retreat to your favorite space:
• The master suite greets you with dramatic A-frame windows framing the forest, a playful ring chair, and a touch of late-’60s flair.
• The upstairs bunk room, with a queen bed and a full bunk plus a glowing birch-tree tapestry, is ideal for families or friends.
• Two downstairs bedrooms offer simple comfort, each with dressers, nightstands, and handy charging lamps.
• Bathrooms on each level make mornings and evenings convenient — one with a double vanity and shower, the other with a bathtub/shower combo.
In the loft lounge, settle into a leather couch under the glow of a lava lamp, pick a game from the chest, or enjoy a movie. An Andy Warhol pop-art print adds a splash of playful inspiration.
Step outside to soak in the 8-person hot tub beneath the stars, grill dinner on the back deck, share stories around the fire ring, or play a round at the backyard horseshoe pit. In autumn, the hills blaze with color; in winter, the slopes are just minutes away.
Check-in is contact-free with a keypad entry, so you can arrive on your own schedule. You’ll have the entire property to yourselves. Need something during your stay? Jared and Corey respond quickly via the VRBO app, and our local property manager lives just 10 minutes away for on-site help.
Whether you come for fresh powder, mountain hikes, biking, or simply to relax by the fire with a record playing in the background, Château Charmaine is a place where retro character meets modern comfort — a mountain chalet designed for making memories.

About the host
Hosted by Jared Finck
Hi!
We’re Jared and Corey, two brothers with a passion for the outdoors who decided to follow a dream and buy a ski house in Killington. We’re lifelong snowboarders, hikers, bikers, climbers, campers, and general lovers of all things outside, so creating a welcoming mountain retreat felt like a natural fit.
We named the chalet Château Charmaine in honor of our mom, Charmaine, who passed from AML in 2018. She had a flair for the beautiful, eclectic, and vibrant, and we worked hard to bring that spirit into the home — blending retro mid-century style with modern comfort to create a place that feels both fun and inspiring.
Being hosts is an extension of how we live: we love sharing spaces that let people connect with nature, relax after a day on the slopes, and build their own memories.
We’re responsive and approachable — we want every guest to feel cared for. If you have a question or need anything during your stay, just reach out. We’re always eager to help and always open to feedback on how we can make the experience even better.
We hope you feel the warmth and personality that went into this home and that your time at Château Charmaine is as special to you as it is to us.

Why they chose this property
We chose this spot for its perfect mix of mountain energy and peaceful retreat.
Château Charmaine sits on a quiet, wooded road just 7 minutes from Killington’s K1 Lodge, so you’re close to the lifts and the action but can still unwind in a calm, natural setting.
In winter, it’s all about the slopes — you can be on the mountain in minutes and back at the chalet soaking in the hot tub by nightfall. In summer and fall, the same trails become hiking and biking routes, and the foliage turns the hills into a breathtaking backdrop.
We love that this neighborhood feels tucked away but not remote: it’s peaceful enough for stargazing and evenings by the fire ring, yet restaurants, après-ski spots, and shops are just a short drive away.
The setting really brings out the best of Vermont — crisp mountain air, star-filled skies, and a sense of escape without giving up the convenience of being near Killington’s resort base.

What makes this property unique
Château Charmaine isn’t just a ski house — it’s a time capsule of style and spirit.
Built in 1969 as a Killington vacation chalet, it keeps much of its original character, including the warm board-on-board pine walls that give the home its cozy mountain feel.
We leaned into that heritage when furnishing the chalet. 1969 was the year of the moon landing, Woodstock, Abbey Road, and hopes for peace in Vietnam. We wanted the design to honor that vibrant, eclectic era — so you’ll find a velvet green chaise, a record player, a lava lamp in the loft, and a funky ring chair in the master suite, all paired with the comforts you expect today: a fully equipped kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, cozy bedding, and USB charging lamps.
Large A-frame windows in the master suite frame the forest, making you feel tucked into nature. The loft lounge with its games, TV, and retro accents is perfect for kids and kids-at-heart. Outside, the 8-person hot tub, fire ring, and horseshoe pit make it easy to enjoy the mountain air year-round.
Château Charmaine combines mid-century nostalgia with modern convenience, offering a space that’s stylish, soulful, and welcoming — a place to unwind after your adventures on the mountain.
