Short-term, Pet-friendly, Ski Retreat In Quechee, Vt

Tucked into the rolling hills of Quechee, Vermont, this warm and welcoming home is your ideal base camp for a full ski season escape. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel it — the creak of snow underfoot, the smell of wood and mountain air, and the quiet that only Vermont winters can deliver. Inside, the home is cozy, comfortable, and completely ready for your crew, with thoughtful furnishings, a full kitchen, and all the comforts of home waiting for you after a long day on the mountain.
The property sleeps 8 comfortably and is fully furnished throughout — there's nothing to haul up from home, nothing to worry about, and nothing missing. Move right in, unpack your ski gear, and start living the Vermont winter life. Whether you're a family of four with gear bags piled to the ceiling or a group of friends chasing fresh powder all season long, this home has the space, the warmth, and the easy access to the slopes you're looking for.
And yes — your dogs are welcome here. Vermont winters are made for dogs: snow-capped trails, wide open fields, and crisp morning air that makes them absolutely ecstatic. Bring one or two well-behaved pups with a simple $50 pet fee, per pet, per stay. Easy outdoor access makes morning and evening walks a breeze, and Vermont's incredible trail network is practically at your back door.
Stays are available on a 10 day or extended monthly basis, making this home as ideal for a long holiday week of skiing as it is for a two-month remote-work-and-ski-every-weekend immersion. Vermont winter magic has a way of getting under your skin — most guests wish they'd booked longer. With Killington, Saskadena Six, and Quechee Ski Hill all nearby, you'll never be far from your next run.
Places to visit:
*Quechee Ski Hill (Ski Quechee) – A beloved family ski area open Fridays through Sundays during the winter season, just minutes from the property. Perfect for weekend ski days without the Killington crowds. A local gem that's easy, affordable, and fun for all ages.
*Saskadena Six (formerly Suicide Six) – A classic Vermont ski hill with 24 trails and a fun, local atmosphere. The season typically runs through late March. Ideal for intermediate skiers and families who want a laid-back day on well-groomed slopes with that true Vermont character.
*Killington Resort – Vermont's largest ski resort and the "Beast of the East," just a short drive away. With 155+ trails, 7 mountain peaks, and a season stretching from November through late May, Killington is the crown jewel of New England skiing.
*Vermont Village Life – Minutes to the charming village of Quechee, the world-famous Simon Pearce glass studio and restaurant, the classic Woodstock Village green, local craft breweries, historic covered bridges, and farm-to-table dining that'll change how you think about a post-ski meal.
*Outdoor Recreation – Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, and winter hiking trails all within easy reach. Vermont's outdoors doesn't stop when the lifts close.
