Newly Renovated!!

This luxurious three-floor home is newly renovated! The main floor living room has been enlarged and new windows have been added to enhance the amazing views. The new floating stairs lead to the 3rd floor with guest bedroom and bathroom, and the huge newly remodeled master bedroom suite. The main floor wrap-around sunroom has floor to ceiling windows. This space will allow you to enjoy the beautiful mountain views from the comfort of the home. Brookside has an additional living area on the first floor, 2 fireplaces, 5 bedrooms, 4 beautiful bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, a kitchenette and this stunning home is stocked with numerous games, snowshoes, and fishing poles. It also has two 65" TVs with cable. Brookside provides free Wi-Fi so you can work remotely.

When you want to relax indoors, enjoy the two large gas fireplaces that operate with a remote. These vented gas fireplaces are top of the line 60,000 BTU White Mountain Hearth, model Ponderosa and they look and feel extraordinarily like the real thing. The beautiful open kitchen is great for hosting shared meals and the many community rooms give plenty of space for your family to spread out or to come together. The kitchen is large and fully equipped with an island featuring a five-burner gas cooktop. This space is perfect for cooking, entertaining and sharing culinary masterpieces. Friends and family can join around the island, conversing while enjoying their favorite beverages.

When relaxing at the house you enjoy breathtaking four-season views of the Killington Mountain range and Killington Golf course. The huge yard provides a private park-like setting. The vast lawn provides the perfect playground for sports, family games and snowball fights. The home has a private estate like feel. You cannot see other houses from anywhere on the property. Yet you are less then a half mile to the downtown grocery for your morning sandwich or coffee.

Brookside has wonderful and luxurious finishes throughout the property. It is a large home yet very private. The six-person hot tub overlooks the breathtaking views of both the Killington Mountain range and the Killington Golf Course. A wonderful way to relax at the end of the day.

Peaceful Getaway!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time at this peaceful getaway. The views were so serene and the house sparkling clean. The layout of the open kitchen made cooking our Thanksgiving meal an enjoyable experience. The kitchen was well stocked from cookware to dishes. We enjoyed the multiple seating areas, the stash of games, the fire pit, and the hot tub. It was such a pleasure to be in such a clean home. We would highly recommend this beautiful home.

Fantastic

The house was bright, clean, and well appointed. We had everything we needed for the 7 of us with room to spread out. Hot tub was wonderful with towels provided. We did not use outdoor fire pit area due to heavy snowfall. It looked very welcoming. The snowshoes came in handy. The carport was a real bonus with the big snow. We would love to return to this house.

Bright, voluminous, amenity filled new construction with perfect golf course and mountain views

Our small group of 6 adults easily fit inside Bob & Erin's immaculately clean ski & golf home. Parking for several cars adjacent to the Main House was a breeze albeit steep on icy weekends (definitely bring your 4-wheel drive). Check-in is seamless and communication with caretaker Heidi rapid. On Autumn evenings, several gas fireplaces were easily operated with handheld remotes. The firepit outdoors was perfect for chilly nights. A big hottub conveniently located adjacent to the large walk-out basement apartment is a luxurious touch. The local food & beer market was only 5 mins away. The kitchen itself was spacious & well-stocked with appliances & utensils. A handy welcome folder spells out what you may need to know. Come in early October to maximize the leaf-peeping in nearby Gifford Woods State Park, or after Nov 15 for skiing in the lively Killington area. A half-day trip to picturesque Woodstock, VT (including lunch, shopping & sight seeing in Quechee Gorge) was a highlight.

Exceeded Our Expectations

This was the perfect house for our family. We have been coming to Killington for winter vacations for 25 years. This year was no exception but much to our delight we found the perfect home. Brookside is situated on a beautiful piece of property with extraordinary views of the mountains and golf course. It is conveniently located to everything you need in Killington. The markets, restaurants, shopping and slopes etc. It is very spacious with plenty of separate and distinct gathering areas. We especially loved the sun-room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the golf course. That was our nightly gathering area after dinner. For those that didn’t ski during the day this room was our reading area, conversation area, and overall general relaxing retreat space. We loved the quality and comfortable furniture especially in that room. The hot tub outside the lower level was used every day while we there and everyone loved it. The kitchen is very well-stocked and had some unusual surprises. There was a water cooler with a 5-gallon jug of water, K-cups for the Keurig, hot chocolate and plenty of kitchen supplies for anyone that was feeding a large group. The beds were very comfortable with nice linens with sitting areas upstairs and downstairs. We had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy television or just relaxing. I was truly delighted to rent Bob and Erin's property and our entire family loved staying at this home. We were talking on our drive back about renting the same place next year. It is a beautiful home. Bob and Erin were wonderful to work with and so helpful if we had any questions Thank you for making our winter vacation a true retreat !! All the best, Diane

A Perfect Killington Family Vacation

We rented this home for the week between Christmas and New Year's and we would absolutely recommend . The house is in terrific condition, very well-maintained and in a beautiful setting, just minutes from the mountain. The caretaker Heidi could not have been more welcoming or responsive. We had a couple very minor questions/issues during our stay and her response time was unbeatable. The house was in perfect condition when we arrived and the layout offered variety and options for everyone in our group. We were eight people (4 Adults and 4 Children) and there was more than enough space for everyone to spread out. All amenities are as described - our kids loved the hot tub, adults enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen and all appreciated the location adjacent to the golf course when we were in need of a day off from skiing as well as the views of the mountain from the beautiful sunroom. We were able to snow-shoe and go sledding right outside our door.

Awesome Killington Property!!

The most well appointed property we’ve visited in Killington! As a cook feeding a houseful of guests I appreciated the quality and thoroughness of the kitchen equipment, dishes, and glassware. Plenty of separate spaces for different groups to congregate after a long day on the slopes (such a close drive!)! Great stock of games and two fabulous fireplaces to keep everyone warm while fun ensued. Absolutely well kept and incredibly clean! Does not feel like a rented property at all. Would go back!!

They were impressed with the properties privacy, the amazing mountain views, the enormous lawn, the brook (which the kids love exploring in the summer) and the golf course frontage.
