Things to do in Killington, VT
K1 Express Gondola – Killington Rd
Thundering Falls Trail – can bring a stroller to this simple scenic walk to a beautiful waterfall

I am trying to get information about Vermont menucha. I am trying to call them up but no one picks up or calls back. I left numerous messages there. Is it a legit place? how are the accomodations (condos as well as the Inn & suits). I am new to DansDeals so I am a bit clumsy in using this but I need help on this topic.   thanks a bunch

How are the rooms in the Condominium?  clean?   comfortable?  I would like to go from August 30th to September 4th.  Should I take the condo even though it has no a/c?  any decent attractions there or am I going to sit like a "klutz" in the hotel?

I keep calling the vermontMenucha number and no one picks up or calls back. This has been going on for about a week. Does the place still exist?

I was there around that time  2 years ago with their supplied fan it was OK although I'm sure some people would find it uncomfortable.

As far as attractions go there are some and you definitely won't have to sit and Klutz during that duration especially that you have a shabbos there.

as mentioned up thread they provide a Concierge to help you plan your attractions

Thinking of staying at the Killington Grand Resort for Shabbos would Vermont Menucha be okay with me davening in their shul? according to google maps it's a 6 min walk although it may be a steep hill to climb?!)
Also does anyone know the hashgucha on their Shabbos food should I decide to order there?
