About the host
Hosted by Rich & Erin DeRafelo; Marc & Bridget Hodakowski
Skylight Ski Lodge was built in 1950 and was run as an Inn from 1952-2002. In its heyday, Ski Magazine, February 1977 Issue, said: "most of the serious skiers who frequent the Skylight Lodge wouldn't think of staying anywhere else." In 2004, the Funk family purchased the lodge. They totally renovated it with every amenity you could wish for, done in excellent taste. Two great rooms with massive native stone, wood-burning fireplaces. Maple trees on the property were milled and used for trim and maple floors throughout the home.
In 2022, our gang happily stumbled upon the property. Bridget, Erin and Rich have been friends since college. Through Bridget, Marc joined the friendship. We have stood up at each other weddings and have remained close for over 20+ years. Coming out of the pandemic, our two families knew we wanted to spend MORE time together and found ourselves in the hunt for the perfect place. Skylight SKi Lodge is just that place. Our five children between us love to spend time running the halls, exploring the property outdoors and look forward to the beautiful winters skiing together on Stratton, Bromley and Okemo.

Why they chose this property
Seven bedrooms, two master suites, and numerous configurations. The Skylight Ski Lodge offers enough space for everyone to enjoy together or in peace. A large kitchen and dining room is capable of entertaining 25.
What makes this property unique
The location of the lodge offers not only fun outdoor adventures at the local ski mountains but excellent dining and shopping. For our snowmobile and ATV enthusiasts, the lodge is on the Vast trail and surrounded by the Green Mountains. Don't forget your skates. The pond out back is lit at night and waiting for the friendly game of ice hockey!
