***CURRENTLY OFFERING A GREAT DEAL - RENT 4 NIGHTS, GET THE 5th FREE! Simply book your four night vaca and send us a message and we will extend it to 5 nights for free (excludes holiday weeks/weekends and there must be availability for the 5th night)*** Everything is right at your fingertips at the Switchback Chalet. Two living areas, four bedrooms, updated kitchen, outdoor grill, hot tub and 3.5 bathrooms - enough space for everyone! Get away for a long weekend or week! In the winter come enjoy the snow! The shuttle will pick you up right at the end of the driveway and bring you to the base of the mountain and back home when you're done skiing or drive up the road and drop your family off at the covered bridge for instant skiing. If you don't feel like driving, you can also walk a path to the base lodge/gondola which is only about .5 miles (but uphill so we wouldn't recommend this option in ski boots :) but perfect for a non-skier to get to the base lodge without driving and parking). Enjoy the hot tub after a long day of skiing right off the front deck offering beautiful views of the mountain! **Please note there are 4 night minimums for Christmas break and Presidents Day weekend. Thank you!! In the spring and summer the beautiful Stratton golf course is less than a mile down the road to golf 9 or 18. Or plan an afternoon of kayaking or paddle boarding at any of the close by ponds or reservoirs: Stratton Snow Making pond - less than 10 minutes away and easy on and off for your paddle board or kayak. Grout Pond - about 20 min drive on the other side of Stratton mountain but so beautiful and clean. You can also fish here. Lowell Lake in Londonderry - 20 min and a beautiful location for kayaking and paddle boarding. It also has a 3.5 mile hike around the lake, picnicking, boating and fishing. Townshend Lake - 20 minutes and perfect for picnics and outdoor recreation. The lake includes flush toilets, drinking water, playgrounds, volleyball courts, horse shoe pits, a swim beach and hiking trails available throughout the park. This lake is also stocked once a year with rainbow trout. Also keep a look out for fun events held by Stratton, like the tough mudder in early June or plan a day of mountain biking with some friends! You can also hike the mountain starting from our driveway - head right up the road and onto the mountain via the covered bridge or walk up and start from the base. If you want to hike beyond the lakes and mountain try the Appalachian trail for the best hiking and fall foliage Southern Vermont has to offer. Manchester is also less than 30 minutes away and has tons of shopping and dining. The possibilities are endless!
