Tallwood Timber: a Family Friendly Ski House in Southern Vermont
Overview Tallwood Timber VT is a spacious family friendly ski house in southern Vermont; conveniently located in the heart of the “Golden Triangle” - between Stratton, Bromley, and Magic Mountains. Okemo, Killington, and Mt. Snow are also an easy drive from the home.

Layout With a mid-70s-modern vibe, this expanded homestead yields substantial space for socializing and relaxing after a full day on the slopes. The first floor boasts multiple independent living areas - each with its own accompanying wood burning stove. The first living room (adjacent the dining room) provides access to a large front deck (great for stargazing and getting some fresh air), whereas the larger great room (aka the Empire Room) provides ample space to watch TV, hang at the bar, play foosball, and even some legacy Nintendo. [Fun fact: the french doors leading into the Empire Room were originally installed within the Empire State Building in NYC, hence the nickname.]
Full sized dining room and kitchen fully equipped to accommodate preparation and enjoyment of family style gatherings. Convenient first floor full bath and laundry located off the mudroom.
Bedrooms Heading upstairs, you will immediately encounter the second full bath and two equally sized guest rooms. The "Bromley Room" includes one Full size bed and one Twin bed. The "Stratton Room" contains one Queen bed - perhaps the most private quarters of the house.
Continuing down the hallway leads to the "Magic Room". This Master Suite occupies approximately a quarter of the home's square footage. It contains the master Queen bed, and a hallway leading to an oversized master bathroom and two additional bedrooms - one with dual Twin beds, and the other with dual bunk beds (4 Twin beds).

About the host
Hosted by Scott and Dan Barbour
Scott and Dan Barbour [brothers] are NJ natives with a lifelong connection to southern Vermont. As their family had owned a ski house here in Londonderry from the 1980s through the early 2000s, Vermont became a second home during many a winter weekend. Both Scott and Dan learned to ski as soon as they could walk [practically locals at Magic, Stratton, Bromley, and Okemo Mountains] - later converting to snowboarding to jive with their admiration of skateboarding and surfing in the mid-90s. As they each married and had kids of their own, they vowed to carry on the family tradition, providing the same ski/snowboarding and après ski cultural exposure for their children. Together with each of their wives (Alicia and Jill Barbour, respectively), the Barbour Family founded Tallwood Timber in 2020.
