About this home

Black River Retreat | Killington + Okemo The Space A private Vermont riverfront retreat just 8 minutes from Killington's Skyeship and 10 minutes from Okemo. Wake up to the sound of the Black River flowing right outside your window, spend the day skiing, hiking, biking or exploring Vermont, then come home to a crackling wood-burning fireplace, your own riverside firepit and Adirondack chairs. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sleeps 8 and is designed for families and groups who want something more memorable than a typical ski rental. You get the best of both worlds: a peaceful riverfront setting that feels tucked away, with two of Vermont's premier ski resorts just minutes away. Winter This is an ideal ski basecamp. Killington's Skyeship is just 8 minutes away and Okemo is only 10 minutes, so you can choose your mountain each morning, or split the weekend between both. After a day on the slopes, come home to a warm wood-burning fireplace, a comfortable living space and everything you need to settle in for the evening. A dedicated mudroom gives you a place to unload boots and gear, with ski storage, boot storage and hooks for wet winter clothing. The washer and dryer are ready when you need them. There's parking for up to 4 vehicles, making the house an easy setup for a full ski crew. Fall This is when the Black River really steals the show. Vermont's fall foliage surrounds the property, and the river is right outside. Pull up an Adirondack chair, light the firepit and spend the evening watching the water move through the trees. It's hard to find a better way to experience Vermont's most spectacular season — and once you've done it, you'll understand why guests come back year after year. Spring & Summer When the snow disappears, the river becomes the backyard. Enjoy the water, watch for birds, explore nearby hiking and biking trails, or simply spend the afternoon outside with a book and a cold drink. The private waterfront setting, firepit and Adirondack chairs make it easy to spend the day outside without having to go anywhere. Kayaking, fishing and bird watching are all part of the Black River experience right outside the house. And when you want to explore, you're close to Long Trail Brewing, Plymouth State Park, Echo Lake, the Calvin Coolidge Historic Site, Plymouth Cheese, Woodstock and countless hiking and biking trails. Inside The house is comfortable, practical and set up for an actual Vermont vacation — not just a weekend photo shoot. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook a real meal, including baking and cooking essentials, plus a Nespresso coffee maker for your morning start. All four bedrooms have blackout shades, and the house has extra linens and blankets for colder nights. You'll also find: Wood-burning fireplace 500 Mbps Wi-Fi Roku TV Washer & dryer Hair dryer Shampoo, conditioner & body wash Private outdoor space Waterfront / river views Firepit that doubles as a grill Adirondack chairs Mudroom Ski and boot storage Parking for 4 vehicles Level 2 J1772 EV charger Dog-friendly accommodations Need to work during your stay?

And yes bring the dog! The riverfront setting, outdoor space and nearby trails make this a great four-legged getaway too. Whether you're here for a powder weekend, peak foliage, a summer river escape or a quiet Vermont workcation, the goal is the same: Come for the mountains. Stay for the river.
