Where should you stay if you ski Burke Mountain on an AIM High or Burke/Smuggs season pass? The Wildflower Inn in Lyndonville, Vermont, is 8 minutes from Burke. AIM High holders get two days at Burke plus unlimited midweek skiing there in March, and Burke/Smuggs holders ski both mountains with no blackout dates. We are a 27-room inn on 300 acres, open all year, serving breakfast and dinner every day, and our winter rates sit well below summer and fall.
What each pass gets you at Burke
Burke Mountain's owners, Bear Den Partners, now run Burke and Smugglers' Notch, and Berkshire East in Massachusetts and Catamount in New York joined the group in 2026. That is why the passes overlap this winter. Here is what the resorts publish on their pass pages:
- Burke/Smuggs season pass: unlimited skiing at Burke and Smugglers' Notch, no blackout dates, no reservations required. A midweek version covers Monday through Friday at both.
- AIM High (Berkshire East + Catamount): unlimited at those two mountains, plus two days at Burke, two days at Smugglers' Notch, 50% off additional days at both, and unlimited midweek skiing at Burke in March.
- Berkshire East Midweek pass: two midweek days at Burke and two at Smuggs, plus 50% off additional days.
Benefits can change through the season, so confirm the details at
skiburke.com and
berkshireeast.com. We do not sell the passes; we are the place to sleep, eat and play between ski days.
Why a Burke day becomes an overnight
Berkshire East and Catamount are roughly three and four hours from here by car. From that far away, two Burke days or a run of March midweek days work best as a trip: arrive the night before, ski, have dinner, ski again.
Open all year, fed every day
The Wildflower never closes for the season. The Restaurant & Pub serves breakfast and dinner 365 days a year, so a snowy Tuesday in January gets the same welcome as a Saturday in July. Edward, Hill Farmstead's Vermont pale ale, is always on tap. Add breakfast to your room when you book direct and it comes at a discounted rate.
Winter rates, well below summer and fall
Winter is our quiet season, and our rates reflect it: well below what the same rooms cost in summer and during foliage. Midweek, Sunday through Thursday, is the quietest and easiest on the wallet of all. Check your dates at
our booking page.
Snowshoe, hike or fat bike right out of your room
You do not need to drive anywhere to have a good winter day. Step out of your room and onto 300 acres: more than five miles of walking and hiking trails on the property for snowshoeing and winter hikes, sledding hills, and room to roam. Fat bikers can ride straight from the door, and Kingdom Trails grooms a winter fat-bike network you can pedal onto from our grounds (Kingdom Trails membership required on their trails). Burke Mountain sits east of us, so on a clear morning it catches the sunrise from Heaven's Bench.
Disc golf on snowshoes, for the game
Our 27-hole
disc golf course does not hibernate. If you are game, strap on snowshoes and play it in the snow. Bright discs are your friend; white ones vanish in a snowbank. Then warm up at the pub.
Rooms for the whole crew
Standard rooms for 1 to 4 guests and suites for 4 to 10 with a kitchenette or full kitchen, so a ski club or a family can share a place instead of a corridor. Dogs are welcome in a limited number of pet-friendly rooms (flat $75 or $100 pet fee, one pet per room); see the
Pet-Friendly page and reserve early.
Skiing more than one mountain from here
Jay Peak is about an hour north via I-91 and Smugglers' Notch about an hour and a half via I-91 (Route 108 through the Notch closes in winter, so plan on the highway). Burke, Jay Peak and Smuggs are all Indy Pass partners this season, which we wrote up in
Ski Three Indy Pass Mountains From One Bed, and our
winter page has the rest. Allow more time in winter weather.
Staying longer
Five nights or more qualifies for our extended-stay savings when you book direct (15% off 5 to 14 nights, 20% off 15 to 30 nights; see
extended stays). A March week of midweek skiing is exactly what it is built for.
