For over 50 years, Turn of River Lodge has been welcoming guests to the Killington area. We have rooms with private or shared bath as well as bunk beds. Great fit for large family or group of friends, as well as for budget cautious singles. We are a family-owned and operated traditional Vermont ski or bike lodge/B&B with a warm, friendly, congenial atmosphere, providing affordable accommodations to skiers, snowboarders, bikers and all sport enthusiasts. We are conveniently located 2 minutes from the Killington Skyeship Base and 5 minutes from Bear Mountain, both of which provide easy parking and access to the entire Killington Ski Area. One of the most loved aspects of Turn of River Lodge is the Great Room and its huge stone hearth where our winter lodgers share their mountain experiences. As our guests come not only from all over the United States, but also from all over the world, the apres ski social gatherings make for lively conversations and fun times. We have ski/snowboard tuning room for those who prefer to work on their own equipment. A family style continental breakfast is served in the Great Room where guests partake at the large refectory table. A refrigerator is available for shared usage, as well as a microwave for guests who would like to heat up their own meals.

Detailed Reviews
Stayed here for 2 nights and it was just what we needed. Room was small, but clean. The main lobby area had a big table and space for hanging out. I could see this being great if you came with a bigger group. There was also a small outdoor area for a fire. It’s in a great location, as it’s just a short drive to the mountain. It’s also reasonably priced and the staff was great. Had a very pleasant stay and would definitely stay again!

What a wonderful place and in such a great location.Driving to it you go through all of these small towns with neat stores and restaurants.When you walk in you feel so comfortable.We were greeted very warmly by the owner and innkeeper.Lots of couches and chairs and decorated to perfection.They have many rooms with all kinds of beds and shared bathrooms.We had a room with a twin bed and double bed but we had a private bathroom.The beds were great and we slept very well.In the morning they have a nice continental breakfast and you can sit at a long table and talk to other guests.Everyone was so friendly.Such a great place.

my wife and I honeymooned here in 1968 and it has not changed the same great lodge.The ownership has changed but not the warm friendly atmosphere. The manager Victoria had everything ready for our arrival. We had breakfast each day at sugar and spice the price was reasonable and the food was delicious and plentiful. The lodge has a cold breakfast but we oped to spoil ourselves after all it has been 50 years since our first honeymoon. You don't need air conditioning they have window fans and you are in Vermont summer nights are cool.

Stayed here for 3 nights and next day I wake up with the flu. Walked in healthy, walked out feeling like sh*t. Clearly they don’t clean sheets, comforters, or bathrooms after guests stay. Guess we will see if any more 1 stars pop up within the next week for sicknesses. Wouldn’t be surprised

My parents and I stayed here for one night on our way home from Maine. I wish we had stayed longer, this spot was a gem. The common rooms are cozy with comfortable chairs, plenty of books and a fireplace downstairs. Many of the rooms had a shared bathroom, but we did have a private room upstairs. The breakfast provided in the morning was awesome, and we had great company for communal dining. I had the best sleep of the trip here. Can't wait to go back!

This a a place for folks who are interested in the great outdoors instead of pricey, stuffy hotels. Turn of River Lodge is your place at the mountains that you're sharing with friends you haven't met yet!
This was our first stay here. We'll definitely be back. It's just like a place we stayed at when I was a kid.
Put your feet up, have a drink, play solitaire or invite others to play cards or a board game in the great room/dining area. Or just share stories and tips about the local skiing and beyond.
There a microwave and large guest fridge. A great fireplace and plenty of wood. Indoor storage for skis and boards.
Clean and plenty of hot water in the shower.
A variety of rooms and sleeping arrangements. The hosts are accommodating.
There are a number of regular guests who were friendly and welcoming too.
Not a lot of protein with breakfast. I brought microwavable eggs to augment the continental breakfast. Great coffee. Fresh, store-bought bread and bagels. Cream cheese and peanut butter are also served with breakfast.
They have a room for waxing and tuning your skis or board.
I had a great time, my 18 year old daughter was along. She really liked the dorm style room we had the first night. I like it fine. It's a great way to stay near the mountain at a very reasonable price. I liked the private room we had later too.
The après ski beverages are BYOB and that's great too.
If everyone is checked-in, they turn off the lights on the sign. The Lodge is a little hard to see at night when the sign is off. Coming from Killington Rd it's on the right, second house after Hemingway's, just about across from the Pasta Pot.

I stayed at the Turn of River lodge over the winter, and all these months later the experience still bothers me. The price was right, at $40 per night for a small private room, however I think that sleeping in my car would have been a more comfortable experience.
I stayed in a room on the second floor and the windows leaked so terribly that I was cold all night. Additionally, there was only one bathroom for the entire floor.
What really topped off the weekend was dealing with the conspiracy theory peddling staff and the other guests. One guest had the movie Hot Dog playing loudly at 3am. Sure Hot Dog is a fun ski movie, but not blasting at 3am from the common lounge! It would have been nice if the staff had implemented quite hours. Even worse, the politics at time and the fact that the TV was always on in the lounge, caused some heated conversations about politics. I don't go away for a weekend of skiing to have to listen to people complain and start fights about the fake news cause du jour and the various conspiracy theories from Alex Jones and Breitbart "news". I just want to ski!
Next time I'll just park at an entry to the Catamount Trail and camp in my car or off the trail. It will surely be a more peaceful experience.

I was surprised how long it's been since I stayed there. Once again I was there to ski at Mt Killington. My old review is still true, but this time the rooms were filled so I stayed in a bunkroom. I'm not sure why I said yes to the bunkroom. The $40.00 / night was surely an influence. Thoughts of my youth played a part. Squad bays in the Marines, shared quarters on Navy ships, summer camp, etc. So, there I was in the basement sharing quarters with 30 or so other folks. 25 or more were BOY scouts and their Dad's. The Sarge was in the next bunk. He's a retired Army E7 so we got along fine. That evening I headed up to the fireplace. It was nice. I was on one of the couches, enjoying a beer and the fire. A women and her Boy Scout Son were on the couch across from me. As we were talking the room filled as the other Scouts and their families arrived. Soon there was a huge party going on. I ask the Sarge if this was unusual, and he told me that most weekends were like this.
They offer breakfast but you would be better off bringing your own or dining out. Cold serial, or grocery store pastries were the choices
As I mentioned in my last review my Wife would be appalled. For me, it was a great time ad I wouldn't hesitate to do it again

Centrally located in the Heart of the Green Mountains, The Rustic Charm of Turn of River Lodge makes it a true GEM in Killington Flats!
On the main floor the Great Room's cozy fireplace warms this welcoming space.
The Turn of River Family is welcoming, friendly, helpful, caring and interesting!
You are NOT going to stay in your room are you? I do not think so!
...In the evenings friendships are quickly formed in front of the massive fireplace, play board games, card games, enjoy an adult beverage and TV/music (Struggling to keep the fun at a mild roar we are reminded there are quiet hours (930p)but fun is had by all!) Plans are made to Hike, Bike, Ski and traveling to see all of Vermonts Treasures! :)
In the mornings lifelong friendly relationships continue to grow at the long family style table. Breakfast Service is of the Continental variety with offerings of Coffee, Juice, Hot water for Tea and Oatmeal, Fruit, Yogurt, a selection of Breads/Bagels (seasonal favs Pumpkin, Cranberry & Specialty breads), Cream Cheese/Peanut Butter/Jams, a selection of Cereals (one is Gluten free), Milk and Almond Milk (lactose free option)... in addition... the Seasonal offerings consist of a local favorite, Homemade Apple Bread with an apple layer that turns this bread into the culinary delight that is OFF the charts, like an apple pie inside of a bread (& a bit addictive actually. Be aware ;)) , and the "Super Star Quiche"... OH MY!! Absolutely LOADED with fresh vegis and Vermont Cheddar. These Seasonal Favorites are a pleasant surprise offering that bump up the Continental Breakfast to the next level to be sure!
...Add the impossibly clean atmosphere and its a 5 STAR rating for this traveler!!!
Ever witness a white glove test in ANY hotel? I have!! Being rurally located I am certain the spiders LOVE to make this home their own... They can try! ;p lol
On on the main floor there is a guest refrigerator (in the "Game Room" as well as a microwave and dishes/flatware (in the Dining Area). Leave all your dirties on the tray and its all magically cleared away. (I love this part!)
I almost forgot! ...The 3rd Floor has a cozy and quiet library with a love seat, 2 arm chairs and lamps to read by.
Stair Therapy... Whether you're upstairs in a private room (choose private bathroom or shared bath), downstairs in the budget friendly dorms (Takes many back to college days, Hostel style... its not fancy, but if you need a clean bed to rest and clean bath it suits the bill... AND BREAKFAST IS INCLUDED!!) or rent the private rustic cabin (sleeps 8) you're in for a treat!
There are NO bad views in the Beautiful State of Vermont plan to see them all as Turn of River Lodge is conveniently located minutes from Killington Mountain, 5 min to Skyship Gondola (Open Winter Season), 30min to Woodstock and 45 min to the Quechee Gorge.
Whether your'e visiting in the Winter Season or Summer Season Turn of River IS the place to stay!

An overall fantastic experience. My 6 friends and I ventured to Killington for a ski weekend and were not disappointed by our accommodations.
1. Location: within 10minutes drive to Killington, 5 minutes to Skyskip gondola parking lot.
2. The room was what we wanted for the price. 2 bunk beds and 3 twins +a bathroom.
3. Breakfast was perfect for a quick pre-ski pick me up. Great cereal selection!
4. The 1st floor of the lodge served as a common room for eating and socializing. A true highlight of the stay, my friends and I met and played board games with new friends from all over the world.
5. Would 100% recommend for big groups. Will 100% be back.

You'd be happier at a place right on the Killington access road if you don't have a car. The bus service runs every half hour or so. Turn of the river is near the far side of the resort complex so it would be better if you had a car to use.
