Rental Near Killington: Why Stay at The Arched Chalet

A rental near Killington gives you convenient access to one of Vermont’s best-known mountain destinations while providing more space, privacy, and comfort than a traditional hotel room. Located in Plymouth, Vermont, The Arched Chalet offers a peaceful Green Mountain setting just a short drive from Killington Resort.

Our chalet is approximately seven minutes from Killington’s Skyeship Gondola and about 17 minutes from Killington’s main resort area. That means you can spend more time skiing, hiking, mountain biking, or exploring, and less time driving to the mountain. After your adventures, you can return to the chalet, relax by the wood-burning fireplace, or soak in the outdoor Nordic hot tub overlooking the surrounding mountains.

Many travelers searching for a vacation rental near Killington assume they need to stay directly on the Killington Access Road. While that can put you close to restaurants and nightlife, it can also mean less direct access to nature. 

The Arched Chalet provides a different experience. Our rental is located south of Killington in Plymouth, surrounded by forest and Green Mountain scenery. You can enjoy convenient access to the resort during the day and return to a quieter setting when you are ready to unwind.

It is a great balance for families and groups who want to:

• Reach the slopes without a long drive
• Stay in a private home rather than separate hotel rooms
• Prepare meals together
• Enjoy peaceful mountain views
• Relax in a private hot tub
• Gather around a wood-burning fireplace
• Experience more of Vermont beyond the resort

One of the biggest advantages of staying at The Arched Chalet is its proximity to Killington’s Skyeship Gondola.

The Skyeship base is located along Route 100 and has its own parking area, ticketing services, restrooms, and a small lodge. Skiers and snowboarders who are comfortable on intermediate terrain can use the gondola and connect with the rest of Killington’s expansive trail network.

Rather than continuing into Killington’s busier main base areas, you can park at Skyeship, load your equipment, and begin your day from a convenient access point close to the chalet.

A hotel room can be convenient for a night or two, but a private rental often makes a longer Killington vacation more comfortable.

The Arched Chalet sleeps up to eight guests and includes approximately 2,200 square feet of space for families and friends to enjoy together. Instead of splitting your group among several hotel rooms, everyone can gather in the living areas, prepare meals in the kitchen, play games, or relax after a day outside.

The chalet’s amenities include:

• An outdoor Nordic hot tub
• A wood-burning fireplace
• Three outdoor decks
• A fully equipped kitchen
• A washer and dryer
• Fast Wi-Fi
• A Blackstone grill
• An outdoor Solo Stove
• A backup generator for Vermont snowstorms

These features can be especially helpful during a ski trip. You have room for everyone’s clothing and equipment, the ability to prepare breakfast before heading to the mountain, and a comfortable place to recover when the ski day is over.

Choosing a rental near Killington does not mean the entire trip needs to revolve around the resort. The Arched Chalet is centrally located for exploring several of central Vermont’s most popular destinations.

Okemo Mountain Resort

The chalet is positioned between Killington and Okemo, making it possible to experience two major Vermont resorts during the same trip. This is helpful for skiers who want trail variety or families interested in the different activities offered by each resort.

Camp Plymouth State Park

Camp Plymouth State Park is a popular summer destination on Echo Lake. Visitors can swim at the beach, fish, paddle, have a picnic, or enjoy nearby hiking trails.

President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site

Plymouth Notch is the birthplace of Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the United States. Visitors can explore the historic village and learn about Coolidge’s early life and connection to Vermont.

Woodstock

Woodstock is within a convenient drive of the chalet and is a great destination for shopping, dining, covered bridges, historic architecture, and a visit to Billings Farm & Museum.

Staying in Plymouth makes it possible to enjoy Killington while also experiencing the lakes, forests, history, and small towns that make Vermont special.

Whether you are planning a family ski trip, a weekend with friends, a summer mountain-biking adventure, or a Vermont fall-foliage getaway, The Arched Chalet offers a comfortable home base near Killington.
