The Turn of River Lodge is in the valley on a stretch of fairly empty road, miles from any of the night life of Killington, so if that's important to you you had better consider booking a place on the Killington road. The lodge website says there's a shuttle service to the base lodges, but I think it would be worthwhile phoning them up for details of frequency and which base lodge they mean. Killington is a vast resort, and when I lived there there was no equipment rental available at the Gondola base, which is the closest one to Turn of River Lodge. Maybe there is now, but again, check beforehand to avoid disappointment.
Flying to Rutland will cost you a fortune. Allow the better part of a day to take a bus to Rutland from Boston South Station. Here's a link to the bus schedule

Rutland is 12 miles from Killington. Here's a link to the local transport option. http://www.thebus.com/routes/killigton.htm
It turns off route 4 and onto the Killington Road a few miles before Turn of River Lodge. I don't know what you should do from there unless you can get someone from the lodge to pick you up.
