Vermont A-Frame | Hot Tub, Sauna, Fire Pit | Sleeps 10

Summer in Vermont: Book 4+ nights and save 15%. Hiking trails, swimming holes, farm-to-table dining, sauna and hot tub under the trees.

Stratton Ski Haus is a Nordic A-frame set in the forests of Jamaica, Vermont. Built for families and groups who want real space, real quiet, and a home that feels as good as the land around it. Sleeps 10 across four bedrooms: two king rooms (one is a loft), one queen, and a bunk room with four twins.
Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the Green Mountains inside. Mornings start slow with coffee on the deck. The forest canopy keeps the house cool through July and August.

Summer here means trail running in the Green Mountains, swimming at Hamilton Falls, kayaking the West River, and driving the back roads to Manchester for dinner. Stratton’s golf course is 13 minutes away. The Appalachian Trail and Long Trail cross nearby.

After a day outside, the back deck becomes the center of everything. Fire up the sauna, then move to the hot tub surrounded by birch trees. Light the fire pit. The kids chase fireflies while you sit with a drink and watch the sky go dark.

The loft bedroom doubles as a remote work setup with a standing desk, monitor, and 1 Gbps WiFi. Good for creative retreats or extending a weekend into a working week.
13 minutes to Stratton Mountain. 30 minutes to Manchester’s shops, restaurants, and cafes.
