Forest Mountain Lodge: Winter Wonderland Retreat Mendon, VT. 20 min to Killington/14 to Pico.

4X4 REQUIRED IN WINTER!
The Forest Mountain Escape is a charming four bedroom, two bathroom mountain retreat that's located in Mendon, VT - only 20 minutes to Killington ski resort and even closer to all the shops and restaurants of Rutland, VT. Spread out on two floors, you'll find great mountain views, well-appointed amenities, new furnishings, a great deck with charcoal BBQ grill, and an outdoor hot tub. It's the perfect place to come back to after a day on the slopes and gather with friends and family in the cozy living room with open kitchen. This well-cared for mountain home is located on a private road amongst acres and acres of forest, and its beautiful mountainside location also means that it may be difficult to access in the winter and during mud season. By booking this home, you agree that you understand the conditions of access and have a proper 4x4 vehicle with snow tires if needed. Once you're here, you won't want to leave! (Optional hot tub fee and pet fee may apply. Please read below.)

Main Floor
Bedroom 1: king bed
Bedroom 2: day bed with trundle
Bedroom 3: full bed
Bathroom 1: tub with shower and toilet

Second Floor

Bathroom 2: tub with shower and toilet

Streaming services and high-speed Wi-Fi via Starlink satellite are provided.
