We had a great time staying here. House is comfy and fun and comes with all the necessary amenities. Michelle was easy to get in touch with and her recommendations were super helpful. would def stay here again!

Great

The house is beautiful, and the Christmas decorations inside and out made it extra special for the holidays. The house is exceptionally well equipped – everything from a waffle maker to toiletries to an ice-scraper for the car – Michelle has thought of everything! She was a wonderful host – answering questions promptly in advance and while we were there. We were a little worried about the mountain roads with the snow and ice, but the HOA treated them promptly and it was easy access in and out.

This is our second visit to this property and we will return The home is spectacular, comfortable, welcoming, immaculate, what other positive statements can I make. Kitchen is fully equipped, large enough for multiple cooks😊 The host is just as welcoming as the home Just a fantastic setting for our Fall getaway

We had a wonderful time at Michelle's home and really appreciated her communication and quick response to all of our questions. The home was beautiful and was in a good location to the clubhouse and town center. This isn't the type of home where one can sleep in - the upstairs bedrooms are all open air (one bedroom is a loft and the other has walls but it doesn't fully enclose the space) so as soon as one person wakes up or makes coffee in the kitchen, the entire home is awake. We still plan to stay there again for skiing and early mornings are standard.

Our Bear Lair Lodge experience was fantastic. The house itself is beautiful, open, spacious and super clean. Michelle was super communicative, friendly and helpful with anything we needed. We utilized the community pool and playground which was great, and the town was quaint to walk around. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great VT getaway!

We were here with another couple and their 5yo. We traveled with our 3yo. The house was so clean, perfectly and well stocked, and FUN! I had forgotten about the gems in the finished basement: air hockey and a pinball machine, plus a little putting/chipping golf hole out back. A wonderful fire pit, pretty string lights to light up the decks at night, techy TV, and 2 stovetops! We had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed the home. It worked better than we imagined for our family and friends. The only 2 things I'll mention, that I didn't note before we rented is that the 2 upper bedrooms are "loft like" in that their walls do not go up the ceiling. Thus, light and noise does travel and transfer throughout the home. We travel with white noise machines for our kiddos, we just cranked those up and moved our adult conversations to the basement (or outside) when kiddos went to bed at like 8pm. The other note - and this is more personal than anything - is that none of the bedrooms have blackout curtains, so naptime for kiddos was a little harder on them to fall asleep. Despite these, YES, we'd TOTALLY return and find ourselves comparing all our other VRBOs to this home. It was marvelous and Michelle's communication and dedication, little touches throughout the home made it just a dream. Thank you!

Michelle was a great host and communication was perfect. The house was gorgeous! I travelled with my wife and two kids, a 7 year old and a 16 month old. We were looking for a change of scenery from the city and we received it. The community where the house is far off the main road and we felt like we were in the woods, just like we wanted to be. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The air hockey table, pinball machine, board games, and the clubhouse (indoor and outdoor pool) provided entertainment for the kids on the days where we experienced rain. Some of the places we visited included the town of Wilmington, Stratton Mountain for the gondola ride and hiking at the peak, the town of Bennington, Weston, Woodstock( beautiful), Quechee waterfall and Gorge (highly recommend Quechee), Sugarbush Farm in Woodstock for cheese and maple syrup tasting(highly recommend) and King Arthur Baking Company (highly recommend). We also drove to North Adams, MA for the MassMOCA museum (highly recommend) and Jiminy peak for mountain summer activities like the alpine slide and coaster (highly recommend). Also, we drove up to the peak of Mount Greylock, the tallest peak in MA. Some activities were close and some were far. The house was located in a central location to all of these places. In summary, the house was beautiful and perfect, Michelle was a great host and Southern Vermont has a lot to offer during the summer. I highly recommend staying here. If you are bringing a kid under two, I would recommend bringing a gate for the stairs. :) Matt

This house is fantastic across the board. The kitchen and living areas are beautiful, clean, and in good condition. Beds are comfortable. The game room and backyard/fire pit were fun. Everything is well stocked. Check in was easy. Michelle is a great host, very helpful and attentive. Looking forward to visiting again!

Absolutely perfect. Will definitely return. Couldn’t ask for a better home or experience.

We will be back!

The house was amazing, spotless, had everything needed and more. All the beds were comfortable and cozy. Michelle the owner was great to work with. Of all the vacation homes we've rented this one rates number 1. Can't wait to return.

The house was wonderful! Even larger than the pictures suggest. 17min from Mount Snow. It came well stocked with essentials (paper towels, spices, etc). Michelle was one of the most responsive and helpful hosts I’ve ever dealt with - so on top of everything. It snowed all weekend, and it is up several steep hills so you’ll need an AWD car for a winter visit - which she forewarned us about. Very easy check-in & out. Would definitely recommend for a small group of friends (like us - 3 couples) or a big family. Reception on the Wi-Fi/TV was a little slow but that was literally our only minor issue with the property. The heated mats all around the outside were so amazing with all the snow and ice. We will definitely be back again next ski season!

We just returned from a three day mini vacation and Thanksgiving celebration, and we already miss the house! We had a great time , ample space for 2 families of four, very clean, well stocked kitchen , main level is bright, open, comfortable, great farmhouse table, all wood interior makes everything warm and cozy! Michelle is very attentive , excellent host, helpful information re area, and very prompt responses. We made so many nice memories and we hope to be back soon, I’ll have to redeem myself for the air hockey tournament :)Mike C.

We LOVED staying at Michelle's beautiful home. My husband and I were able to kick back and enjoy the house's many amenities; the awesome deck, the well-stocked kitchen, cozy beds, spa-like shower, the pool right down the st, the list goes on and on. We also loved exploring the area and the welcome change of scenery. Michelle was so helpful, not only in communicating during our trip and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, but also w/local recommendations which we were delighted by (including Snow Republic Brewery, The Village Roost coffee shop, and The Last Chair restaurant). Thank you again Michelle! We were sad to leave and would stay again in a heartbeat!

We have never rented a home before; we always stayed at bed and breakfasts or inns, and so we weren’t sure what to expect. We were extremely impressed! The house was as lovely as it was in the pictures, Very clean, well-stocked, and the owner was fantastic. She always responded immediately if we had a question and provided lots of information about the area. A very positive experience!

My husband, three kids (ages 7, 5 & 2) and I had a wonderful stay at Blair Lair Lodge. The house was impeccably clean, very well-stocked and most of the furniture, towels and bed linens seemed brand new. Michelle was an excellent host. She provided many ideas of things to do in the area, restaurant recommendations and was prompt to respond to any questions that we had. The house is situated in a nice, quiet community that has a main clubhouse with an outdoor pool--our kids loved it! No complaints at all and we hope to be back in the winter.

Home exceeded every expectation we had and Michelle was a super host. House was clean, well stocked, well laid out and just beautiful. Super cozy. We were a party of 4 adults and 4 children and had more then enough room. House was inviting and well appointed. Close to mountain and recreational center. We are already reviewing our calendars to see when we can return. V.C

The house was better than in the photos - truly a great place to stay. The property owners were very communicative and you can tell they care about the property and the guests that stay there. Choose this house and you won’t regret it!

This property was excellent. The owners were super responsive and there for any issues we may have had.
