Jane grew up spending summers in the woods of Northern Minnesota, and Jiten is a Stratton ski devotee. Parents of a 7 and 4-year-old, we built this space to be the perfect family retreat.

Stratton Ski Haus was designed with both comfort and convenience in mind, offering features you won’t often find together in a Vermont mountain rental:

Trailside Vermont Escape: Hike Jamaica State Park, the West River Trail, and nearby Green Mountain paths before relaxing in the sauna and hot tub.

Wellness Amenities – Unwind in the 6-person hot tub or 4-person barrel sauna after a day on the slopes or trails.

EV Charger On-Site – Charge your vehicle while you recharge in nature, a rare perk in this region.

Dedicated Workspace – A loft office with standing desk, monitor, and a comfortable chair for remote work.

Family-Friendly Layout – A bunk room with 4 twin beds plus games, puzzles, and books for kids and adults.

Coffee & Kitchen Extras – Full coffee bar with grinder, French press, and premium beans, plus a well-stocked kitchen for group meals.

Woodland Privacy – 1.5 wooded acres with outdoor fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and space for yard games.

Stratton Ski Haus is a Nordic A-Frame designed for gathering, slowing down, and enjoying Vermont’s forests in every season. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the woods inside, creating a peaceful setting for morning coffee, family meals, and evenings by the fireplace.



After a day outdoors—whether skiing at nearby Stratton, hiking forest trails, exploring waterfalls, or visiting the shops and cafés of Manchester—come home to unwind in the sauna and hot tub surrounded by trees. The house is equally suited for active getaways and relaxed weekends filled with board games, reading, and long conversations.



With space for up to 10 guests, including two king bedrooms, a queen bedroom, and a bunk room for kids or groups, the house is built for family trips, friends’ weekends, and multi-generation gatherings. High-speed WiFi and a standing-desk workspace with forest views also make it easy to mix remote work with time in nature.



Located just 13 minutes from Stratton Mountain and about 30 minutes from Manchester, Stratton Ski Haus offers easy access to outdoor adventure, scenic drives, and classic Vermont charm—while still feeling tucked away in the quiet of the forest.

Your Restoration Basecamp:

Jamaica, Vermont sits in the Green Mountains where "doing nothing" is the point. Yes, Stratton is 10 minutes away—but so is the charming village of Jamaica and the wilderness. Haus is removed so that you have complete silence even during peak winter months.
