      Located on the first floor of Gate House Lodge, Castlerock Pub is a mainstay in every guest's ski day, serving craft beer, hearty American fare and live entertainment. When not in-use as the most happening ski bar in Vermont, utilize the Castlerock Pub as one larger event space or close the barn door that separates the Rock Room from the bar area to create a more intimate venue. Surprise your attendees with a meeting space that they'd never expect, transforming the Rock Room into a cool and quiet board room, or host a raucous reception that incorporates the easy access to patio seating, corn hole, and a fire pit.

It offers a warm and rustic atmosphere, and a front-row view of the historic Tucker snowcat just outside the crafted double doors that open to reveal a pretty little patio with fire pit. By day, it’s a chic coffee shop with a bistro menu featuring Italian flavors, perfect for fueling up before mountain adventures. By night, it transforms into a lively space for enjoying fine wine, craft cocktails, and local charcuterie with friends or colleagues.


      The Schoolhouse
      Boasting an additional 3,000+ square feet of flexible events space for breakout sessions, small group meetings, and other events, the Schoolhouse was designed with a nod to the small-town rural history of one-room schoolhouses. Home to our children's recreation programs, the Schoolhouse is a whimsical option that will make even the most serious executive smile. Walkable from Clay Brook or Gate House Lodge, The Schoolhouse can be fully equipped with audio-visual equipment for productive daytime meetings, host catered breakfast or luncheons, and be gussied up for evening receptions and dinners.
      Glen Ellen Room
      Make your base camp at Mt. Ellen in a board room that is anything but boring. This flexible space can do it all - be your team's private boot room, help you host an intimate meeting before heading back outside for more mountain adventuring, or be a private space to host lunch or après ski.
