Instructions for a Ski Home Rental or Ski Condo Rental
There are a number of ways to rent a ski condo or a ski home at for a winter Vermont vacation. To get started, first please use our
The easiest way is to provide as much information as possible. Please state:
-
the desired dates (starting and ending dates),
-
the number of people in your party (and the ages of the children),
-
the desired type of location (i.e., slopeside, walking distance or shuttle access to the slopes),
-
an individual complex name, if known, such as Village Watch, Mountain Watch, Vantage Point, etc..
-
the types of accommodations required (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 bedroom),
-
the types of beds required (kings, queens, twins, bunks),
-
finally, if you have a target budget, let us work with that.
Many ski condo owners require a minimum of three nights on a weekend rental. Some owners require five or more nights for a Christmas rental, four nights for MLK weekend and seven nights for President's week.
Again, just provide us with as much information as you can on our Contact Us Form or email strattoncondos@aol.com. You can call our cell phone: 516 810-6010 or our office: 631 587-1060. For hours of operation (which vary by snow conditions), or other information about strattoncondos.com, click on About Us.
We will then contact ski condo and home owners for availability on selected weekends and search for the right Stratton slopeside, village or Vermont country property for you. If we can not help you find the right ski rental, perhaps we can point you to other for rent by owner or directly listed vacation rental by owner properties. To the extent possible, we can provide information "renting a ski home at Stratton and try to direct you to an owner, to a real estate agency or to the right Stratton Mountain Resort service. There are many other websites with names such as "cyberrentals", "always on vacation", "for sale by owner", "vacation rentals by owner" and "find rentals" that provide direct owner listings.
We believe that strattoncondos.com is the only Stratton based web service that is not a real estate agency. We are staffed by Bob Kanser, the owner, his family and about 5 to 8 seasonal employees. For general rental information, we have compiled a list of "Frequently Asked Questions" on the following page. |
