Chalet Killington

I stayed at chalet Killington the last week of February 15 and had a great time. Awesome staff, clean rooms, cool building with a nice communal fire place, ping ping table, pool table, hot tub n outdoor pool. Really close to the slopes and to other restaurants and shops. Hoping to revisit in the near future.

What a hidden gem! This place really has it all… We were here for 4 nights and the breakfast that was included in the stay was outstanding! This was not your typical continental breakfast… it had everything you could think of and the service was quick and the food was delicious and plentiful — perfect fuel for a long day of hitting the slopes. The hotel had all of the nice to haves as well — the hot tub, and out door heated pool if you were courageous enough to make the trek in the freezing temps to get out there, but I loved the fireplace with the seating — it was great to play a game of checkers and drink a beer from the bar. You have to have the wings at the restaurant during happy hour, they are no joke! Best wings, double baked and that dry rub is killer! The burritos are pretty awesome as well… I wish we ate there more than just one night. The staff is chill. The reason why it didn’t get 5 stars, though everything is very clean, the rooms are dated, and the shower sprayed water pretty much everywhere, and the beds were quite firm, we were in the room next to the restaurant which was a little noisy at times. Overall, the fridge in the room was nice, and there was plenty of room for all of our gear. We will definitely be back to say hello to all the cute and friendly dogs and the very friendly and chill staff. Of course we loved the hand written thank you note that we received a few days later!

This place exceeded our expectations and really made our trip so much more enjoyable! I mean, how many places let you bring your furry little friends on road trips?! They not only allow pets, but take care of them for you while you ski/​snowboard all day or do whatever… AND they sent US a thank you card for staying with them and even mentioned they will miss Rosco, our puppy. Chalet Killington– THANK YOU!

Stayed for a night here when I was in VT with friends to watch the fall colors in Oct’14. We arrived late in the night for check-​in and although we had booked for just one large 4-​bed room with extra beds for the 6 of us, the manager at the desk informed us that he had an unoccupied room for the night and offered it to us at no additional cost. It was of great help to us, since we got 2 bathrooms and plenty of space to sleep and get going the next day.
Few days later, we also got a handwritten postcard from the manager, thanking us for the stay in the hotel! it was really a sweet gesture.
Facility wise: nice location, pet friendly (the manager has a dog and many other people staying there had dogs with them), nothing fancy but a decent breakfast menu and amazing customer service

My dog gives this hotel an A++!!!
We have stayed at most of the hotels on the access road and found most places to have the old north country feel and this one fits that description. I must say the beds are the most comfortable out of any hotel. The room was clean and the staff was very friendly… they even opened up for us when they were closed. We will be back for our annual winter vacation and we will be staying here!
The best part is we can bring our dog and they are 100% dog friendly!!!

We came to the area from Virginia over Memorial Day weekend for the Killington Stage Race, and we were hoping to bring our dog along. It was great to find Chalet Killington — they have a hallway of rooms that is offset and dog-​friendly, and their staff offer dog walking services if you need it. The rooms aren’t luxury, but they were very clean and had a bit character. The owner and the staff were very welcoming (they had coffee and pastries in the mornings, even though we were there out of season), and about a week after we got home, we received a «thank you» postcard, thanking us for staying with them. It was a really nice touch! We will definitely return — great location, and if you want to bring your pup, it’s a super option.

As previous reviews stated, this place is not a 5 star resort, but a great value for the price and the breakfast is fantastic. Close to the mountain and the staff is super friendly and attentive.

Visited just after NYE. The price was very good, and it’s under a 10 minute drive to the mountain. The lounge is a little worn, but it’s got a really nice fire place with a few sitting areas, and a giant checker’s board. I would say the biggest con is their mexican restaurant — it is not good at all. Luckily, they serve booze. There is also a sports pub just across the road — which also has some ‘meh’ food.
They are extremely dog friendly, so if you’re cool with that and/​or bringing your dog, expect a great time. Besides giving my dog treats, they also walked him while we were out skiing. And, incredibly, after we checked out on our final day, they watched our dog for 4 hours while we skiied. My dog is a bit of an active chewer, so they even gave him an extremely large bone as a going away present.
I would definitely stay here again.

It’s very important that you have the correct expectations when visiting Chalet Killington. They are not a fancy, overpriced, posh ski-​lodge. The chalet has a dog and family friendly feel that starts when you walk in the lobby. The lobby has a great sitting area with a large fireplace that will warm you up post ski/​board. The Mexican restaurant serves pretty good food and great margaritas. The rooms are average with an occasional noise disruption (thin walls). The staff and outstanding cooked-​to-​order breakfast will bring me and my family back. Room change due to noise — no problem. Can I bring my dog? — of course. Can we check out late? (so we can hit the slopes one last time) — sure, and we will walk your dog while you’re gone. Oh yeah, no hair dryer in the room so bring your own or borrow one from the desk when you check in (from my wife).

Ok. here is a honest review. I’ll start with the positives. Awesome staff an owner who are very kind, helpful, an welcoming. The Chalet is a great location, about a mile from the Mt. One of the best things about this place is the breakfast (included) They will make you just about anything you want, omelettes full of veggies, pancakes, french toast, etc along with a large spread of breads, fruits, coffee… this is a huge part of the value of this spot.
Now for the negatives. the place is quite run down. The rooms are totally basic an a little dirty. The bed was very uncomfortable, along with the two inch hard pillows. The place hasn’t been updated since the 80’s for sure.
But overall the Chalet is adequate for a place to crash while skiing. And the price is very fair. I would stay here again (with my own pillows!)

This place is cool. It’s old, and a little crusty, but I’ll attribute that to character. The room was spacious and generally clean. You wouldn’t catch me putting the 3 second rule into effect if I dropped a cookie on the floor, but I didn’t feel creeped out walking around without socks. The water pressure and temp in the shower was fantastic… a beautiful thing after a day on the slopes.
The staff was fantastic! Everyone from the front desk attendant to the bartender to the housekeeper was so friendly and helpful. The chatter in the kitchen led me to believe that these people actually enjoy coming to work. Crazy, I know!
Breakfast was great, not the typical continental, piece of fruit and slice of toast breakfast. The bar in the mexican restaurant (we’ll get to that in a moment) is set with juice, coffee (Green Mountain coffee, so it’s decent), toast and english muffins. They give you a choice of eggs any style, bacon/​ham/​sausage, potatoes, french toast, or pancakes (blueberry, banana, chocolate chip). You can order as many or as few items as you like and all is included in the cost of the room. Talk about great value.
The atmosphere is what earns this place four stars… it’s a fun, sometimes bizarre mix! The chalet is dog friendly, making it cool right off the bat, so there are dogs running around all over the place. People chill out by the huge fireplace, located right outside the entrance to the attached mexican restaurant, Baja Burrito. Some of the tables for Baja’s overflow aren’t actually in the restaurant, they’re out by the fireplace. It’s a great melting pot of hotel guests and restaurant patrons… oh, and doggies.
We didn’t actually have dinner at Baja, but the food we saw looked fantastic. The chips and guac were tasty and the margaritas were right on.
The location is so convenient… just down from the skiing. And if you don’t want to hang out in Baja’s bar every night, you can walk across the road to Moguls. The chalet also has a free shuttle that goes to the slopes or any of the restaurants in the area.
I’ll definitely return to this place next time I ski Killington!
