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.

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Rich & Erin DeRafelo; Marc & Bridget Hodakowski

Host profile image
Skylight Ski Lodge was built in 1950 and was run as an Inn from 1952-2002. In its heyday, Ski Magazine, February 1977 Issue, said: "most of the serious skiers who frequent the Skylight Lodge wouldn't think of staying anywhere else." In 2004, the Funk family purchased the lodge. They totally renovated it with every amenity you could wish for, done in excellent taste. Two great rooms with massive native stone, wood-burning fireplaces. Maple trees on the property were milled and used for trim and maple floors throughout the home.

In 2022, our gang happily stumbled upon the property. Bridget, Erin and Rich have been friends since college. Through Bridget, Marc joined the friendship. We have stood up at each other weddings and have remained close for over 20+ years. Coming out of the pandemic, our two families knew we wanted to spend MORE time together and found ourselves in the hunt for the perfect place. Skylight SKi Lodge is just that place. Our five children between us love to spend time running the halls, exploring the property outdoors and look forward to the beautiful winters skiing together on Stratton, Bromley and Okemo.

Why they chose this property

Seven bedrooms, two master suites, and numerous configurations. The Skylight Ski Lodge offers enough space for everyone to enjoy together or in peace. A large kitchen and dining room is capable of entertaining 25.

What makes this property unique

The location of the lodge offers not only fun outdoor adventures at the local ski mountains but excellent dining and shopping. For our snowmobile and ATV enthusiasts, the lodge is on the Vast trail and surrounded by the Green Mountains. Don't forget your skates. The pond out back is lit at night and waiting for the friendly game of ice hockey!
