“Beautiful modern designed home along the brook. You can hear the brook from the front porch. Quiet and private. ~10 minute drive to Stratton mountain. Game room downstairs was fun for our group. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again! We had a wonderful stay at this home. It was in pristine condition and truly had everything we needed, making it feel comfortable and easy from the moment we arrived. The location was great and the layout worked perfectly for our family! My two nephews especially loved the downstairs area.”

“We had a great time! A great space for large groups, lots of bathrooms, and a nice setup for rooms. The futon had its own room which was great. There were 2 kitchens as well which was convenient. Hot tub and fire pit were awesome. A plow came by because we got a lot of snow which was also nice. The hosts responded very fast and had lots of precautions in place for any adverse weather. Overall 10/10 experience!”

Experience Stratton Mountain
Stratton Mountain is a signature Southern Vermont escape with a refined, easy-to-plan feel and a true village at its center. It delivers far more than ski days, with scenic gondola rides, hiking, golf, mountain biking, seasonal events, and dining that ranges from quick slope-side resets to polished dinners. Below are the most useful highlights to help you plan your stay.
For panoramic views with minimal effort, plan a scenic gondola ride when available, then linger at the top for photos and a calm reset. If you want a true hike, head for routes that connect to the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail crossing, and consider the fire tower for a rewarding finish. In warmer months, pair your mountain time with village strolling, outdoor dining, and an unhurried afternoon back at your Red Cottage home.
Stratton makes ski days easy for mixed-ability groups. Keep things simple by choosing a base area, setting one mid-day meeting point, and using high-speed lifts to rack up laps efficiently. For families or first-timers, build in lesson time early and save the longer runs for late morning and afternoon when everyone is warmed up.
Stratton Village is the part of the trip you do not need to over plan. It is made for an easy stroll, a drink, and a dinner reservation that feels like a proper night out. For weekends with built-in energy, plan around HarvestFest’s Oktoberfest in the fall, the Stratton Mountain Music lineup in summer, and Gather Outdoors as a spring ski-season finale. In winter, the signature night is New Year’s Eve Fireworks paired with the Torchlight Parade.
Start your day with coffee at Upper Standard Coffee, then keep lunch simple with Stratton Mountain Deli and Market when you want something quick and reliable. When you feel like slowing down, head to The Drift at Mulligan’s or the Fiddlehead Biergarten for a drink and a relaxed, lively scene. For dinner, make a reservation in the Village at Fire Tower Restaurant and Tavern and let the night feel like part of the getaway.
