Where do I find the ski in/ski out cabins/chalets for Timberline?

[Anonymous]

My kids have heard of these ski in/ski out “chalets” or cabins at timberline? I am looking on vrbo and can’t seem to find ones that are clearly ski ans and ski out. I’m not a skier but have somehow raised three skiers. Can someone help!
I am surprising them with a ski trip out west for their bdays and need to get them skiiing at least one time before that!

Did you look on Aibnb? There are a lot of slope side places listed there. Might be hard to find for a weekend as ski weekends are limited and sell out quickly

Two realty companies that manage most of those rentals: Best of Canaan and Mountaintop. The ski in/out are along Timber Trail and along Twister/Winterset. There aren't many, some of them are not rented out. The ones that are rented out are probably booked and very $$. For years there was not reliable snow and very unreliable snowmaking. But the new owners of Timberline are dialed into perfection and there is reliable ski in/out now.

Need to use a realtor for slopeside accommodations for the most part. Timberline Lodge might be an options. Tons of airbnbs and vrbos if you can consider driving and parking

Agree with this, there are also a few ski in/ski out houses along salamander at timberline. Timber trail is Canaan. There are also plenty of great places to stay in timberline that aren’t ski in ski out but a short drive. Off the top of my head I feel like there are only like 10-15 houses total that you can ski in ski out of at timberline so they may be booked

ACK! I meant Salamander, not Timber Trail!! Sorry! There are about 15 houses along Salamander, but a number on either side of Winterset, and a few up Twister. There are also others that are a really short walk to the slope (on the other side of the street from the slopeside homes). Given the parking situation, those are still better than trying to deal with parking and the lodge.

Finding ski-in/ski-out accommodations can indeed be a bit tricky, especially if the listings don't clearly mention this feature. Since you're looking at Timberline, I'm assuming you mean Timberline Lodge in Oregon or another ski area with a similar name. Here are some tips to help you secure the perfect place for your family's ski trip:

1. **Contact Property Owners Directly**: If a listing on VRBO or similar sites doesn't explicitly state 'ski-in/ski-out' but looks close to the slopes, message the owner directly to confirm.

2. **Check Resort Websites**: Sometimes ski resorts have their own lodging options or recommended accommodations that offer ski-in/ski-out access. Timberline Lodge, for instance, might have on-site options or partner lodgings.

3. **Use Specific Search Terms**: On rental websites, use filters for 'ski-in/ski-out' or include it in your search terms.

4. **Explore Nearby Areas**: If you can't find anything directly at Timberline, consider nearby ski resorts with more lodging options. Mt. Hood area, for instance, offers several ski resorts with various accommodations.

5. **Consider Convenience Over Direct Access**: If ski-in/ski-out options are unavailable or too expensive, look for accommodations close to a ski lift or shuttle service.

6. **Book Early**: These types of properties are popular and can get booked up quickly, especially during peak seasons.

7. **Read Reviews**: Previous guests often mention how convenient the location is for skiing, which can be a good indicator.

8. **Local Ski Shops and Forums**: Sometimes, local ski shops or online skiing forums can have recommendations or insider knowledge about the best places to stay.

Remember, for non-skiers like yourself, it's also important to find a place that has other amenities or activities nearby to enjoy while your family is out skiing. Enjoy planning this exciting surprise trip!

LOL. This is a DC area forum. Timberline is a small ski resort in West Virginia. Thanks for reposting some bullshit that Ai wrote.

There are a handful of houses on salamander that are ski in ski out that look really nice. There are also a bunch on the runs on the far right side.

No, there are very few Airbnb and lodging options at Timberline. We’ve gone for the past 2 weekends and there was no availability anywhere (even in Davis) last weekend and the prior weekend had a room at Cannon. We love to ski there but the lodging and Airbnb availability suck. Apparently it is a 4 yr wait to get a builder in the area so no new housing any time soon.
