Looking for a Vermont group rental that feels easier than piecing together a handful of Airbnbs? Book the whole lodge at White Horse in Waitsfield and your group has the entire property to itself. Gather in three common areas, share one address for the whole trip, and walk to the lifts at Sugarbush Mt. Ellen.

White Horse Lodge offers 26 guest rooms across a mix of layouts, from king rooms and queen rooms to family units with a queen and two twins, plus a full apartment with a kitchen. It works for couples, families, ski groups, wedding parties, retreats, and any group traveling together.

A Full Vermont Lodge

at the Base of Sugarbush Mt. Ellen

A whole lodge rental gives your group the run of the property. Everyone stays together, coordination gets simple, and shared time comes easy. Every guest room has a private bathroom, plus three common areas for the group to spread out in.

White Horse Lodge sits at the entrance to Sugarbush Mt. Ellen, which means skiers and riders in your group can walk to the lifts. Mad River Glen, Sugarbush Lincoln Peak, and the villages of Waitsfield and Warren are all a short drive. Hiking, biking, farm to table dining, and local breweries are close by.

Built for Group Stays, Built for Vermont

Whether you are planning a wedding weekend, a family reunion, a ski club trip, or a corporate offsite, White Horse Lodge works as a base for the whole group.

Wedding Groups

A whole lodge rental gives wedding parties one address for the weekend. Every room has a private bathroom, and the three common areas work well for welcome drinks, morning coffee, or quiet moments before the ceremony.

  • Spread the bridal party and guests across 26 rooms
  • Multiple common areas for gathering before and after the wedding
  • Short drive to many wedding venues in the Mad River Valley
  • Book the whole lodge and skip the work of coordinating multiple rentals around town

Family Reunions

Bring everyone under one roof. With 26 rooms and three common areas, family reunions feel relaxed instead of scattered across hotels.

  • A mix of room sizes for couples, parents with kids, and solo travelers
  • A game room with shuffleboard, billiards, poker, and darts for family fun
  • Outdoor fire pits and a pond on the grounds for time outside
  • Easy day trips for hiking, swimming, and scenic drives in the valley

Ski Groups and Ski Clubs

For ski clubs and friend groups traveling together for a mountain weekend, White Horse sits at the entrance to Sugarbush Mt. Ellen. That means less time in the car and more time on the snow.

  • Short drive to Mt. Ellen, Mad River Glen, and Sugarbush Lincoln Peak
  • Warm up by the stone fireplace or out at the fire pits after a day on the snow
  • Room to store gear and space to hang out at the end of the day

Friend Groups and Retreats

For groups of 10 to 50 traveling for a milestone birthday, a wellness retreat, or a long weekend together, the whole lodge gives you room to gather and rooms to retreat to.

  • Private bedrooms with three shared common areas for the group
  • A quiet setting with a pond and fire pits on the grounds
  • Local restaurants and breweries within an easy drive
  • Flexible room layouts that work for groups of different sizes

Corporate Offsites and Team Trips

Take your team out of the office and into Vermont. White Horse offers space for working together and time off the clock.

  • WiFi and multiple common areas for working sessions and team meetings
  • A game room for team downtime
  • Ski, hike, or bike within minutes for team building
  • A quieter setting for planning, strategy, and team conversations

Holiday Gatherings

Thanksgiving, winter holidays, and New Year trips work well as whole lodge bookings. Give your extended family one property to share, with private rooms and common spaces for the moments that matter.

  • Room for multi-generational families under one roof
  • The White Horse Apartment kitchen for holiday cooking and morning coffee runs
  • Common areas for family meals, gift exchanges, and game nights by the fire
