What you did not know about Snowed Inn.
Snowed Inn stands on land shaped by centuries of forest ecology, early New England settlement, mountain-town evolution, and the transformation of Killington from rural wilderness to the East Coast's premier outdoor destination.
Long before the inn existed, the land beneath it belonged to dense old-growth forests dominated by maple, birch, beech, spruce, fir, and hemlock, an ecosystem alive with the seasonal rhythms of Indigenous peoples who moved through these mountains for millennia. They hunted, gathered, navigated ridge systems, and fostered a deep relationship with the land long before European arrival. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, settlers cleared small pockets of land along what is now Killington Road. Farming was modest due to steep terrain and rocky soil, but timber played a central role in the area's early economy. Logging trails cut through the mountains, streams powered sawmills, and the region's thick forests supported a growing network of workshops and carpenters. By the late 1800s, a shift toward recreation began. Railroads brought visitors seeking mountain air, quiet retreats, scenic beauty, and the restorative qualities of Vermont's forests. The land near the current Snowed Inn saw boarding houses, farm stays, and early guest lodges take shape, reflective of the mounting interest in mountain tourism. The pivotal transformation came in the mid-20th century when Killington Mountain was identified as the site for what would become one of the East Coast's most ambitious ski developments. With the founding of Killington Resort in 1958, the area rapidly evolved. Lifts, trails, lodges, and snowmaking innovations made Killington an immediate draw. Killington Road transformed from a rural path to the central artery of the mountain community, lined with inns, restaurants, ski shops, and locally owned businesses. Snowed Inn emerged within this golden era of ski-driven growth. Designed as a family-run lodge focused on comfort, hospitality, and simplicity, the inn quickly became a favorite for travelers seeking a quieter, more intimate alternative to the large slope-side hotels. Over time, the inn expanded its amenities, adding the outdoor hot tub, refining interior spaces, modernizing rooms, while preserving its original personality: a heartfelt, unpretentious, genuinely welcoming lodge. Today, beneath its wooden beams and warm lighting lies a deeper story shaped by Indigenous history, logging traditions, early railroad tourism, the birth of modern skiing, and generations of families who built Killington into the energetic mountain community it is today.
