While I hate to share the location, I am afraid if I don't the resort won't keep it open because so few people know about this magical little spot. With that said, bring a friend or 3, but don't tell anyone else. This little secret is the type of place you love to go to but would hate to see blow up!
The Ledgewood Yurt is tucked away on a trail you can access from the top of Snowshed Learning Area at Killington Resort. They're only open on weekends during the season for lunch between 11am-2pm, they also offer lunch during busy holiday weeks like Christmas and Presidents Week, and 5-course dinners on weekends by reservation only.
The Food:
The meals are absolutely divine and I say that with a smile because you wouldn't imagine a structure this small, in the middle of the woods, with no roads to offer such a unique menu with warm and hearty dishes that are so good. The Shepherd's Pie is yummy as well as the Mac & Cheese and all of the soups. To be honest, I've been here several times and tried something different each time and the Yurt has never let me down!
The Drinks:
Hot drinks include the Hot Cocoa with Peppermint Schnapps, some classic hot ciders with rum, and of course a small but good selection of local VT craft brews.
The Space:
A circular Yurt with a small deck outside and seating for approximately 25 inside. There is a hot wood stove which is perfect way to warm up on the chilliest of days.
The Staff:
Table service is great and the staff is even better. Krista (the girl with the gray eyes) has been my waitress a few times along with another young lady who were both absolutely delightful! The bar crew holds it down too, making stiff drinks and HOT ciders!
Local's Tip:
Perfect spot to take a long lunch break, but please be courteous to those who might be waiting for a table on busier days! There are not many seats and the deck can be cold if the temps are below freezing. read more
