"Lodging at Pico Mountain Condominiums, Killington, VT "

We stayed at Pico Mountain Condominiums, during our recent trip to Pico Mountain, in Killington, VT.

The lodge was a three floor townhouse, with two apartments on each floor. It was located at the top of a hill, but a short walk away from the main ski area. The size was great for our family of five.

It included two king size bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an upstairs loft, a kitchen completely equipped with all one would need as far as silverware, cooking supplies, etc., which really helped in reducing dinning expenses. There was also a nice bright dining room/living room area.

All the rooms were completely furnished with linens and extra pillows, as well as games and books for the kids. Another wonderful amenity was the free Wi-Fi, which worked beautifully as well as cable television channels.

Our three boys (3, 4 and 12) chose to sleep together in one room, on the king size bed, though they didn't have to since the 2nd level loft had a sofa bed. We loved the layout of the rooms because it was close enough for us to hear them, but not so close that we didn't have privacy. I also enjoyed the heating lamps in the bathrooms, that was a nice amenity to have after a day of skiing, and the kids really enjoyed the 2nd level loft. The younger kids spent most of their time up there watching t.v. or playing games.

The views were beautiful during the day. Tons of light came in from the floor to ceiling windows and the skylights in the living room area. There was also a small patio which overlooked the hill heading down to the resort, though you couldn't really see the resort itself. And it was quiet. A peaceful, wonderful silence we never get here in NYC. I think I enjoyed the silence of nature the most during this trip.

The beds and furniture were comfortable. The lodge also came with a wood burning fireplace, but this didn't work properly for us. We called to have someone check it, which they came over and did right away, but even after he fixed the fan, it still never really managed to function properly. However, the central heating system worked without flaw, so we were warm the entire time we were there.  

My husband thought that the lodge should include more updates for the cost per night, and a guarantee that all amenities are in working order (such as the fire place), which I agree with.  However, I also thought the space was perfect for us.

Our children loved their experience there and often talk about the "mountain house".

Our weekend included: 2-night stay in the 2 BR, 2 BR loft cost $350 a night, plus tax. A total of $800.00. A $100 deposit is required upon check-in.

Bottom Line: We loved our stay at the Pico Mountain Condominiums. The lodging here is privately owned and leased through Pico Mountain. I'm sure that one could probably find less expensive lodging off site, but for our family, proximity was a wonderful convenience. Pico Mountain offers lodging discounts throughout the season that help reduce some of the costs. We would recommend staying at Pico Mountain Condominiums, but also recommend to do so while taking advantage of any lodging specials available.

This review is based on a complimentary stay at the Pico Mountain Condominiums. I received no other compensation besides the hotel stay and services at Pico Mountain Ski Resort and the hotel did not state any requirements that I express a particular point of view.
