Community Winter travel policy:
Winter Road Travel and Emergency Parking: We make every effort to ensure the roads are timely plowed and sanded. However, during ongoing storms our roads (like all steep gravel roads in Vermont) can be treacherous. Members, visitors and guests will likely need good snow tires or chains to travel most of our roadways in snowy conditions, and definitely to access the steeper portions of the road during a storm. Four-wheel drive alone is inadequate on many snowy portions of roads when a car does not have winter tires/snow tires. Tires rated “all-season” for city driving are not considered winter tires/snow tires and will not make it up steeper roadways in a snowstorm. Please advise your guests and renters accordingly! Reminder: emergency parking areas are located on Timber Hawk Road (at the first open clearing on the right, marked by two wooden posts) and at the bottom of Westwind Drive. These areas may be used on a short-term basis when a car cannot make it up the road during a storm. Be prepared: Anyone driving back roads in winter, especially at night, should ensure that they are equipped with flashlights/headlamps and shoes suitable for walking uphill in the snow. We expect all owners, guests and renters to drive and act responsibly at all times. If a vehicle becomes stuck or disabled, it poses a risk to plow operators and other drivers. It is the vehicle owner’s responsibility to get it dislodged, at their own expense. We’ve had a few instances in the past year of stuck vehicles damaging roads and culverts; if you damage infrastructure, please report it so we can get it fixed.
Guest access
All areas of interior and exterior with the following exceptions: Exterior sheds and closets, upstairs owners closet, and the locked door within game storage room. Please also do not use the lower entrance door from the gravel walkway. The upper door is for guest use.
Other things to note
**Access road is plowed and maintained in the winter, however it is a steep gravel road and 4WD/AWD and winter tires required in the winter!
Super fast 1Gbps up/down fiber internet with excellent wifi coverage in all rooms supporting wifi 6.
There is limited/no cell service on the mountain, please use wifi calling to make phone calls.
Please note we have two security cameras, one is a ring doorbell on the front door and the other is a camera covering the driveway and parking area.
One of the downstairs bedrooms (queen+twin) room does not have an AC unit, although it is the naturally coolest room in the house not getting direct sun, being low, and partially sub grade on one side.

Born in the 80s
My work: Product manager
As a travel and adventure enthusiast, I’ve always loved the mountains and quickly grew attached to the Killington and Green Mountain area. The Gnome Home is our mountain home enjoyed by myself, my wife, and our two young daughters. We’d love to share it with others when we aren’t using it so more people can experience the beauty of the Green Mountains!
