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.

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.

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!

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!

This house was a terrific place for our family and friends to stay during our annual ski week in VT. The location to the slopes was great--so close to Bromley and Stratton! Easy access to the main roads. The house was fully stocked and clean. There was plenty of room for multiple families to share. Communication with the owner was always prompt and helpful. We can't wait to return!

This is our fourth time at Skylight with a group of families we ho on an annual ski trip. We love the house and it’s proximity to Bromley. The hangout areas are awesome and the bedrooms are well thought out with different combinations of beds—bunks, fulls, queens, kings—to accommodate everyone. The property owner was really attentive and replied immediately. We look forward to returning to Skylight.

My family and I stayed at the Skylight Ski Lodge for Christmas 2022 in hopes to escape the craziness of the season and enjoy our children and each others company. We will now have memories to last a lifetime. Throughout the booking process, I was in touch with Erin who quickly responded to any questions or concerns I had, which was so very appreciated. When we arrived at the Lodge, I was taken back by its beauty, as the pictures do not do the actual feel of this home any justice. It was perfect in every way and most importantly, in my opinion when booking a home, it was immaculate!!! There were 8 adults and 7 children (including a 9 month old baby) and there were more than enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate us. Beautifully decorated with no detail overlooked, and beds that were more comfortable than my own. Each room had a lot of closet space which was wonderful as we lugged our Christmas gifts from Santa and needed a place to store them until the big day. We had 2 young teenagers who claimed the loft where there were 2 twin beds and gave them space to hangout and make memories. It was adorable. The bathrooms were gorgeous- each with towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. My bathroom had a steam shower which we loved after a day out in the snow and dry air. There were razors and toothbrushes in a basket in case these items were forgotten as they often are. There was a pack and play and monitor for the baby which really came in handy. My personal favorite part of this home was the kitchen where there was a huge Viking stove. We came with food to cook for Christmas Eve and Day and we were surprised to find spices we had forgotten. A well-laid out space with a pantry off to its side with shelves and an extra refrigerator. We cooked and ate and laughed until we cried. We gathered in a large family room after dinner where we played games and laughed some more by the fireplace. There was also a living room with a television where the kids often drifted off and gave us adult time alone. The last night there, we were lucky to find that the pond in the yard was frozen. The kids skated with a beautiful pink sunset sky behind them. Truly picture perfect. The location is wonderful, close to Manchester Center where we shopped and had lunch a few days. It was so close to Stratton Mountain where we took the kids tubing.
I am certain you will be more than happy with your stay here. Thank you, Erin and Rich, for sharing your home with us.

This house is amazing! It’s clean, has great spaces and really well outfitted with everything you could need. We had a birthday dinner for my husband and yard and house were the perfect setting. Communication with the host was fantastic and she replied immediately to any question. We definitely plan to go back!

Our family with adult children had a fantastic week at Skylight Lodge. The house had plenty of space for us to spread out and enjoy…places to sit and read, do puzzles, play board games, and watch movies. Plenty of outdoor space for yard games too. My husband and I love visiting Manchester and the location was perfect to introduce our kids to the area. Great communication, easy check in. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent house, excellent communication!
We enjoyed this house very much. Great layout on the main floor (kitchen, TV room, fireplace room); all bedrooms are on the second and third floor. The kitchen had all that we could ask for as we prepared dinner at the house two of our nights. We also used the grill, deck, and backyard. The owners were great and check-in was simple. We strongly recommend this home.

Wonderful experience at the lodge
Skylight Lodge was perfect for our group of 14. With two living rooms, the kids and adults each had their own space to relax in and enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked, house was clean and many amenities provided. Location is excellent - quick drive to Manchester, Bromley and Stratton. Liz was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. Would highly recommend! Thanks for a great stay, Liz!

Amazing. Epic lodge !
We all absolutely loved the skylight lodge. What a great place. SUPER cozy, tons of space. Liz ( the owner ) is amazing. Really helpful with anything you may need. The property was fantastic Lots of space to play in the yard and park your cars. . Extremely close to Bromley Mountain which was awesome. Actually pretty close to just about anything you may need. Just an all around wonderful experience. The only bad part about the lodge, is that we had to leave. Cannot wait to come back again next year. Cheers till then !

Spacious & stunning lodge
The pictures do not do this lodge justice! This is a very spacious cabin with tons of room to spread out. There is a large kitchen, large dining room area, two large living rooms (each with a fireplace), 7 bedrooms plus a loft overlooking the living room with 2 twin beds. Liz was highly communicative via text and made our stay super easy. Amazing place for a cozy weekend. We’ll be back!

Amazing ski lodge
Growing up in the area, I always wondered about the Skylight Ski Lodge and I'm so glad I had a chance to stay here. If you are a large group - this home is perfect. The recent upgrades are well done, but the lodge retains its charm. Two large gathering spaces with fireplaces set this property apart from others - a real game changer. The kitchen was well appointed and makes for easy meal prep. My only note for other future guests is that beds listed as queens are actually double beds. All in - our kids comments say it all: "We are coming back to Skylight!"

Perfect house for family get together.
We have been doing a large multi-generational family ski vacation for over 10-years. This is our first visit to Skylight and I think it was the best one yet. The house is amazingly spacious with plenty of room for cozy fires, games and movies. Liz and Steve were terrific hosts and made everything easy. Steve even had a fire going for us when we arrived! We would absolutely go back.

Christmas at Skylight
Our entire family of 15 spent a week at Skylight over Christmas. It was perfect and thoroughly enjoyed by our kids and grandkids. Plenty of room for all and so very Vermont Welcoming. Not one but two family rooms and both with beautiful fireplaces. A very well stocked kitchen which we gave a quite a workout as we cooked many meals including a memorable christmas dinner. Liz and Steve,, our property managers were very helpful also in answering our questions. Also 4 mountains close for skiing. And Manchester is a really nice town. Our entire family voted our stay as one of the best Christmas’s ever!

Incredible House!
We stayed at Skylight to celebrate my wife's birthday over President's Day Weekend and it could not have been a better place to stay at. Great common area space and ample bedrooms make this a perfect stay. It is also very close to ski at Stratton and Bromley or head into downtown Manchester. Everyone loved it! Liz was very responsive and answered all of my questions throughout. We hope to make this more of an annual trip in the future!

Excellent
This was our fourth year staying with a few families at Skylight lodge and it was once again wonderful. The lodge is perfect, clean, well stocked and Liz is very attentive and responsive. Can’t think of a single thing that could be improved. The property is ideally located between downtown Manchester and the ski mountains. We look forward to this trip all year!

We love this house and property. So great for large groups. Two real master suites on the third floor make this perfect for two large families, etc.
We just spent Thanksgiving 2019 and had a great time even in the "mud season".
