Family Reunion

We enjoyed skylight lodge. We get together with family and friends each year to do an annual fundraising event. The house was perfect for our group. The big fireplace was a great way to relax after a day of skiing or snowshoeing.

Great place for a group getaway

This is a wonderful property for a Vermont getaway, with large common areas and plenty of beds for a crowd. It's in the perfect location for access to Manchester, Bromley, and hiking on the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail.

Annual Friends and Family Ski Vacation

We had a great trip even though the weather did not cooperate. The home was just right for a group our size with plenty of extra room to spread out and relax. We loved the charm and feel of an old inn and close proximity to the mountain, town and shopping. Owners were very responsive and receptive to feedback. Would love to stay again.

4th Year In A Row & Great As Always!

My office (KSS Architects) has been staying at the Skylight Ski Lodge for 4 years now, and it is the perfect place for our annual Vermont Ski Trip! It sleeps more than any other property in the area, has the perfect gathering space for dinner, and the lodge itself is just gorgeous. The owners are wonderful, the kitchen is legit, and those master bedrooms are luxurious. You absolutely cannot go wrong staying here!

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!

Great stay

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!

Family fun at Skylight Lodge

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.
