The Whimsical Chalet — A Cozy Woodland Escape Near Okemo Brought to you by GetAway
Welcome to The Whimsical Chalet, your private retreat tucked among 20 acres of tranquil Vermont forest in Mount Holly. Just ten minutes from Okemo Mountain Resort and close to hiking trails, waterfalls, and snowmobile routes, this three-bedroom hideaway is perfectly positioned for four-season adventure and quiet relaxation alike.
Inside, the chalet offers an inviting open-concept design that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The main level features a full kitchen with granite countertops, a spacious farmhouse-style dining table, and a cozy living room with a stone fireplace and large sliding doors that open to the wraparound deck. Natural wood beams, warm lighting, and forest views set a peaceful tone throughout.
Downstairs, guests can gather in the second living area, complete with reclining leather sofas, a flat-screen TV, and access to two handcrafted log bunk rooms — perfect for kids or a fun ski weekend with friends. Upstairs, the primary bedroom provides a bright, restful retreat with its own TV and cozy, cabin-style details. High-speed fiber internet keeps everyone connected while you enjoy the simple beauty of a Vermont getaway.
Step outside to the spacious deck, where Adirondack chairs overlook the quiet woods — a serene spot for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Take a short stroll to the historic Crowley Cheese Factory, the oldest cheese factory in the United States, or spend your day exploring Butternut Falls, a hidden swimming hole just minutes away. In winter, ski or snowboard at Okemo, or take a day trip to Killington, Stratton, or Magic Mountain. Pet-friendly for up to two dogs (please crate if unattended) and easily accessible year-round, The Whimsical Chalet blends cozy comfort with Vermont's signature charm. It's not just a place to stay — it's a place to slow down, breathe in the mountain air, and make memories that linger long after the snow melts.

Great house for a getaway
Stayed for a ski weekend and it was a nice quiet house on a quiet street but still situated close to the resorts.

Roomy and well appointed
We had three adults and three kids stay and had a great time. The facilities were very clean and neat and all the appliances worked well. Plenty of room to stretch out and relax after skiing at Okemo. There was no cellphone service for Verizon at the cabin and we had to ask for the WIFI password. Bedding was awesome as were sheets and towels. All the TVs worked well. Would stay there again. Management was quick to answer our questions.
