A rustic mountain ski house in Vermont designed with beautiful barn wood

rustic-mountain-house-exterior-with-snow

This rustic mountain ski house was designed by Vermont Barns in collaboration with NK Home Interior Design, located in West Dover, Vermont. The goal of this ski house was to be inviting and cozy. This was achieved by combining new wood, reclaimed wood, hand-hewn beams, and stone, all among lots of places to gather. 

This home’s open layout was conceived so that everyone could be together whether they are cooking in the kitchen, playing backgammon in the game area, sitting by the fire, or hanging out at the bar. White Cedar Lumber Company has supplied the barn wood for the exterior cladding, stair treads, cabinetry, barn doors, and antique beam accents. Continue on for the home tour…

Above: The island and refrigerator were finished with barn wood. Plenty of lower cabinet storage was created so that upper cabinets would not be needed. The designer wanted to let the stone wall be the main feature of the kitchen, instead of the cabinetry. The stove hood is custom-made of steel by a local metalsmith.

rustic-coffee-bar

Above: The “coffee” bar is tucked away to the side of the kitchen to keep the appliance clutter out of the main kitchen space.

rustic-kitchen-pantry

Above: In the pantry, the old metal signs came off a broken set of bakery shelves. The shelves were designed to be thick enough to fit the vintage metal signs, adding whimsy to this functional space. The grain bin came from an old farmhouse in Wilmington and is now a bin for dog food.

Above: The dining table is custom-made by a local furniture maker. The table has a birch top and steel legs. The coffered ceiling goes throughout the main space. It was purposely designed to be no more than 8 1/2′ high in order to add a cozy feel.

rustic-mountain-house-great-room

Above: The living room, bar, office, kitchen, dining area, and game room were all designed to be one open space.

Above: A ski house is all about entertaining, so a great bar was key. This seven-foot bar was designed to be a mix of steel and barn board. The steel bar stool counter was done by a local Vermont metalsmith. The bar cabinet is wrapped in reclaimed red barn wood with a zinc bar top, also all done by local tradespeople.
