The Skylift Lodge is a luxury slopeside 2 floor mountain retreat walking distance to the Mountain Creek ski slopes. Ideal for families, there are 3 bedrooms (Bedroom 1=Queen, Bedroom 2=Queen, Bedroom 3 = 1 bunk bed) and a Recreation room with 2 sets of bunks. There are 2 bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, both with jacuzzi tubs. Experience Vernon's nearby outdoor activities--ski, bike or zipline on Mountain Creek, splash in Mountain Creek Waterpark, visit Legoland NY or the American Dream Mall, ride horses at Legends Stables, play golf on 3 nearby courses, or hike the Appalachian trail.

We are located within Great Gorge Village, a 24/7 guarded gated residential community nestled on the slopes of the Mountain Creek ski area in Vernon, NJ. Skiing on a blue level trail is a short walk uphill. These are the closest slopes to New York City (47 miles) so it's a fun way to getaway, unwind and get out in nature.

-There is room for 2 cars in our parking lot. If you come with more cars, they have to be parked at the large parking lot just outside the gated community.

-We require names of all drivers and license plates for our security gate
-We are a mountain retreat, so cell service can be spotty with certain providers. You can use our WIFI calling within the lodge.

-Our condo has 2 outside security cameras to protect our property, neighbors, and our guests. Make sure you come only with the confirmed number of guests in order to comply with Vernon fire and safety regulations. The cameras are located at the entrance and patio doors, and of course do not show the interior of the property.
-Just like all other condos near Mountain Creek, the Skylift Lodge is of wood construction. This means that at times you can faintly hear our neighbors, and if you are too loud, they can hear you. Please be considerate of our neighbors and keep noise levels reasonable. We installed a noise-monitoring device that will alert us if noise levels are excessive.
- We regularly get inquires for longer-terms stays. This is certainly possible, but we only book these through VRBO. Stays for longer than a week get 15% discount, stays longer than a month 30%.
