When planning a ski vacation and searching for the perfect luxury rental home, most people look for features such as views, private hot tubs, proximity to the ski slopes. But one of the most underrated amenities may be the humble mudroom. Yes, the place where you come in from the outside and shed your coats, mittens, hats, boots...It can become a wet chaotic pile of clothing and gear. And the last thing you want when you’re ready to head out the door the next day is to be searching for a lost glove or pair of goggles, or to stick your feet into a still damp, cold pair of ski boots.
That’s why a well-designed mudroom and ski storage area is a must-have feature in any ski vacation rental home. A spacious area equipped with boot warmers, cubbies for hats and gloves, benches for sitting to pull on (or off) boots, and plenty of hooks for jackets can be the ultimate luxury after a day in the snow.
Check these out. Some rival the nicest health club locker rooms, others have waxing stations for your skis, some have washers and dryers, and even water dispensers to fill up your water bottles on the way out the door.
