Lakeside beauty

Spacious home with a gorgeous view of the lake. Spent most of my time at the huge dining room table with that view while the rest of the fam went skiing. Gorgeous stone fireplace and so much entertainment: board games, ping pong table and WiFi. Perfect location to get to Killington and Okemo. The road to get to the house is definitely tricky…lots of potholes and deep mud ruts. AWD/4WD is a MUST.

Weekend stay

Great location, close to Okemo and downtown Ludlow. House was perfect for our group of friends…large dining table, downstairs was plenty of space for card games and ping pong, and bedrooms were comfortable. Only downside to our stay was that it was difficult to get in touch with someone prior to our arrival since the property is managed by Vacasa…required a few phone calls to put in an early check in request.

Communication issues

It may be an issue with Vacasa App, but communication was an issue. We tried to email about what to do to prep for (nor’easter) and never received response. We were unsure of where to park in case plow showed up. Property itself was great! Convenient to skiing and heated floors in basement were wonderful!

Great house. Superb location

Great Lake house smack on the water. Basement was a bonus with pool table and ping pong table—both a huge hit with kids. Plenty of room. There’s no air conditioning but there were lots of fans and basement made it bearable. We happened to hit Ludlow during bizarre heat wave. Fire pit as well. Overall a great stay.

Could be a gem but has significant safety & maintenance issues

Our vacation was interrupted by dealing with safety issues with the property management company. Exposed wires, broken screens, 2 inch gaps in floor along side bed, significant tripping hazards due to extremely high thresholds. Couldn't open the windows because of missing or damaged screens and temperature reached 90 degrees. Bathroom faucet was not attached. Ants in kitchen. Grass was knee high and was not cut until halfway through the week. Dock had loose and warped boards. Construction debris on south side of house. Closets were packed full of personal items - no rods; no hangers. Contacted property management group several times and provided photos. The only resolution solved was getting the grass cut. I would not recommend renting through Vacasa or this specific property unless you want to be disappointed.

It was okay.

The lake was great. House was lacking cleaniness. Downstairs bathroom needed the sink faucets replaced. Should of been done before renting. No place to put over flow garbage without animals getting into it. Had to leave in house which wasn't ideal. We cooked all our own meals and we're lacking in cook wear. Overall we made the best of it.

Charming, spacious cottage with drop dead foliage and lake views.

We are 6 bicycling Boomers (from WA State) who have stayed in several Vermont Inns and Airbnb’s over the past 10 years and this sparkling clean cottage was by far our favorite! The photos are accurate. The fireplace gorgeous. Lots of comfortable seating and areas to spread out. It is on a very private lot that was easy for us to find. The kitchen was so well stocked we were able to prepare our own Vermont locally sourced feasts. Don’t miss the Vermont Butcher Shop in Londonderry. For restaurants... get a reservation at “Downtown Grocery.” Yes, there are a few updates on the cottage in progress, but nothing at all in our way. HIGHLY recommended spacious Vermont cottage.

Fall vacation

House is well equipped for a large family gathering. Quiet and peaceful lake. Listened to the loons in early morning while having coffee. Grandkids (ages 4 and 3) enjoyed fishing from the dock and roasting marsh mellows in the out door fire pit. Ventured out everyday to see all parts of Vermont and even New Hampshire. Would love to come back in summer to make more use of the lake.

A beautiful and relaxing setting!

This home on the lake was just what our family needed. The home is beautiful and very comfortable. We had 5 adults and never felt crowded. We enjoyed using the kayaks and canoe on the beautiful lake. The owner was very accommodating and even installed the floating dock earlier in the season. The home is remodeled with modern appliances and comfortable furniture. Don’t forget to bring your fishing poles, we did! We caught fish and enjoyed the scenic views. I would highly recommend this beautiful home if you’re looking for a place to relax. Excellent WiFi; very clean; and the fireplace was a real hit with our family during our game nights. Well worth the cost of the stay!

What a great place to relax and connect with the mountains, water and family

The house is so cozy and clean, and has everything you need. It is enough space for everyone and perfect for the families with kids. We enjoyed kayaking and playing table tennis a lot! The fire pit at night is a perfect place by the lake to relax and view the stars! We will come back again and thank you for such a great experience!
