Wonderful stay at Base Lodge. We had plenty of space for our large group. Location was key as it's a short walk to Main St with bars and restaurants.

Our 2nd stay here and it was just as fabulous as the first. Clean, huge kitchen with more than enough plate ware, pots/pans and kitchen gizmos and a dining room large enough for a banquet.
Highly recommend!

We loved staying here and Diana was a great host! The space fits large groups comfortably. We mainly went to snowboard/ski and loved how close we were to the slopes (not even a 5 minute drive). Definitely will come back!

Base Lodge surpassed our expectations. The size and layout of the lodge is ideal for a large group. The three spaced apart common areas gave everyone an area to enjoy in smaller groups. The dining room comfortably seated all of us. The size of the kitchen lends itself to several people cooking at once. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, playground across the street and nearby skiing. We hope Base Lodge becomes an annual tradition.

Our group was smaller than anticipated (13 instead of 18). We had plenty of room to spread out to accommodate quiet baby area and boys games/movie area.

Diane's place in Ludlow is spacious and beautiful, in an ideal location in the town of Ludlow! Easy walking to restaurants, grocery, bars and a very short drive to the ski resort. The place has a beautiful backyard and patio area (love the hot tub) and indoors has a very spacious dining area. Pool, Shuffleboard, foozball, etc were all hits! Thanks again and we'll look to come back for ski season / another summer weekend :)

Great House
We had 16 people and this house was perfect! So many rooms and places to hang out. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Diane was very responsive and helpful. It did get hot upstairs but there are window fans and big fans to help with that. We had a great time! We definelty recommend this place!

Fabulous!
Every year near the 4th of July our extended family gets together. This year we stayed at this house. It was wonderful! There were lots of bedrooms and beds for all plus it has numerous rooms to gather in. There was a living room, a den with a foosball table, a room upstairs with a shuttle board and couches and another room with a pool table. The dining room was huge with a long table that could fit everyone plus another little round table in a nook. The kitchen has two refrigerators and stoves and two dishwashers and a beautiful granite island. Outside there was a deck with a table and chairs and a hot tub plus a good size backyard with a fire pit. At times there were some gnats/no seeums that were annoying but it was just that time of year. They were also on the golf course etc.
There was lots to do in the area. I love walking everyday and it was so nice to walk around the cute downtown and neighborhood. It was a nice area and felt very safe. You could walk to shops and restaurants and bars.
Diane was so nice and excellent at communicating. The house was neat and clean and was so perfect for a big family gathering. Some people stayed up later than others and because the house is so spread out the people sleeping were never bothered by those staying up playing games. We had an excellent time and I highly recommend this home! It was a fabulous week! We all give it the highest rating possible.

We are a group of 19 people who have stayed at the Base Lodge several time over the years for annual reunions (interrupted only because of Covid). It is a perfect house for multiple people, with great gathering spaces, a terrific kitchen/dining area, lovely yard with fire ring, deck with hot tub and gas grill, games, pool table, handicapped accessible. Fantastic! The owners couldn't be nicer--super-accessible and responsive. The area is great--walking distance to shops, grocery store, book store, restaurants. Can't recommend it enough! And can't wait to come again next year.

There were 15 of us ranging from age 1- 67. We enjoyed the house. Very comfy and nothing around to really worry about with the kids playing everywhere. Plenty of space to spread out. We were a little disappointed with the hot tub, which we communicated with the owner. They are working on fixing it, but that didn’t help us for our weekend. Close enough to the mountain. We did try the shuttle on Saturday, but it wasn’t available on Friday.

We had a wonderful experience at the house. It’s spacious, well appointed, and well equipped for multi-family fun. The proximity to Okemo mountain makes for an easy trip to and from your ski trip.
Lots of positives for the house, but my major warning is to beware of post booking rate changes. I made a reservation via VRBO and it was confirmed. However, I later received a note from the owners that rates were increasing by 43%. Quite the surprise! I made many offers to split the difference and in the end wound up with a 33% rate hike. We still made the trip and it was fun, but be careful of rate changes. You may wind up with an unpleasant surprise!
4.9
Plenty of room for the 18 people that I brought to the rental. Bedrooms everywhere, fully stocked kitchen, enough TVs and bathrooms.
We paid the extra fee for the hot tub and all of the kids enjoyed it. Location is excellent and we had a great stay. We will rent this property in the future.

We could not have been happier with our stay. The house is spacious, clean, updated and comfortable. The ten bedrooms were perfect for everyone having their own space. The back yard and fire pit provided a great place to hang out.
The proximity to the town center of Ludlow can't be beat. With a one-minute drive to grocery stores, liquor stores, lunch places, etc., we were able to plan our meals each day rather than having to engage in a massive shopping trip at the start. There are nice coffee shops, book stores and the like within easy walking distance.
A few members of our group worked at the house and had no issues with the Internet.
We had a couple people who needed to social distance as best as possible with the Delta variant spreading. The house is big enough to really accommodate that indoors, and provides ample outdoor space to keep everyone together and engaged.
Finally, Diane was a wonderful host who patiently asked all the crazier and crazier questions I posed about how we could potentially have people in a "quarantine" wing of the house. During a rather stressful time when it felt like the trip was falling apart, Diane provided timely and clear communication that helped us keep our trip on schedule.

Wonderful house!
This was a perfect property for a family reunion! Plenty of gathering space and the fire pit and hot tub were used every day. The beds were also so comfy. Diane was an excellent host and very forgiving of a couple child related mishaps. Wonderful stay!

Great kitchen! Owner has provided everything a family could want to do on vacation We loved the area. This is our 27th year of renting a house all over the US. We would rate this house in the top 10.
4.9
My family and I had a great time. The house was big enough for the kids to play and run around. The deck and yard were also wonderful to have morning breakfast and evening hangouts.
We stayed here on a couple of the hottest days and since there is no central air conditioning we relied on opening the windows for upstairs to cool down. Not a big issue but a couple of rooms such as the pool table room had no screens on the window so could not open the window since bugs would be attracted to the lights.
Overall a good stay and would stay again albeit during some cooler weather.

This is a small town with nice down town and has all needed amenities. We went there for memorial day weekend with some friends and family (total 24 people). The house is well kept and is clean. There is enough beds for more people. Even though there is a ski resort near by, we did not go there. There are ton of hiking trails near by.

Great space!
As advertised and with Covid limiting dining out options, the huge well-equipped kitchen (2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, enough dishware and cutlery to feed a small army) was a real plus. Owner communication was outstanding. This stay was worth a repeat!

The home is phenomenal! We loved coming back to it after a full day of skiing. Given the current state of affairs in our country, all of our meals were prepared by us - the kitchen was amazingly large where we could gather to make dinner and hang out. I highly recommend this house!!
