About this house rental
Our newly renovated lakeside "camp" is the perfect place for an active yet relaxing Summer/Fall getaway or a fun-filled Winter retreat! In this area, a "camp" is typically a minimalistic 3-season dwelling, but since its renovation the property is a "camp" no longer! Although it still has a private and secluded vibe, it is anything but minimalistic. The renovations focused on a clean, modern design with particular attention to highlighting the beauty of the lake itself. Numerous windows/sliders on all three floors give breathtaking views of the lake, and during the warmer months you have a private dock for fishing, swimming, kayaking and lounging. As an added bonus, Camp Plymouth State Park is only one mile away and has a beach, playground and water activities. Winter months are just as fabulous, with Killington and Okemo resorts nearly equidistant from the house. If skiing and riding aren't your thing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing are other popular activities that are readily available. Don't forget that a firepit during any season is the perfect night cap!
This is a very special place and we hope you can enjoy it as much as we do! It is a mix of modern luxuries and "camp" vibes of days past. There is something for everyone at the Amherst Ski and Lakeside Retreat!

We had a great time at Camp Amherst with my wife and family of three. There was lots to do with the house and it was a short 20 minute drive to Killington where we snowboarded every day. The host was more than gracious as we accidentally had put a hole in the wall, but we were able to amicably settle this quickly. She was always available and communicating throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property and plan to go back if we ever want to spend another week at Killington

We just returned home after our stay at Camp Amherst. What a great experience! The house was immaculate, solid, comfortable and fully stocked. It was easy to get in and out; equidistant to Rutland and Woodstock; setting was stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
We are in our 50s, traveling with our 7yo son and my husband's parents in their late 70s. Everyone found Camp Amherst to be perfect for us. It has a VERY USEFUL mudroom upon entering -- everyone loved this! There are separate heat units in every room, not that we needed them -- this place is tight as a drum! No drafts at all. We actually turned the heat completely off on the second floor at night because we like to sleep cool. Despite being in the teens outside, we were still cozy overnight. Turning off the heat had the added benefit of turning off the white lights on each unit -- pitch black sleep!
We loved that each bedroom upstairs has its own bathroom. The king mattress is memory foam, while the three twin mattresses are lighter with a more bouncy feel. Lots of pillows and towels. ALL the linens in this house were luxurious, including the bed quilts, the sheets, the pillows, the towels.
Cooking and dining was very easy. Plenty of space to prep and serve food. Dish liquid, paper towels, hand soap, sponges, trash bags -- all were supplied.
We all enjoyed the body wash, shampoo and conditioners installed in the bathrooms. And the radiant floor heating was awesome!
Great vacation spot!

The space was large and plentiful. We made many memories in the kitchen cooking up warm meals after a day on the slopes. Kitchen is bare (only salt pepp and EVOO), so bring everything you need for spices. 15 minute easy drive from killington. Waking up to a snow covered lake every morning was majestic. NO HOT TUB.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during a ski vacation to Okemo. The lake house made our stay that much more enjoyable with a beautiful lake front location and amazing amenities! The house was clean and beautifully furnished. Would highly recommend this house!!

Very new and very neat. We are section hikers (AT), needing a central location.
They’re showers for 3 people. Can’t beat that!
Heat works well!

We made a quick fall getaway to take in the colors. The property is beautiful, the house is spotless and had everything we could ever need. Jesse is a great host and was quick to respond to our queries. We would highly recommend her place and would consider a trip back next year!

Very clean, roomy house. High-end appliances, furniture, and finishes. Would be even better with more outdoor seating and a better-stocked pantry

This home had everything we needed to cook all our meals, enjoy the beautiful nature, have fun and relax. Highlights were being able to kayak easily from the house and play ping pong! The linens and kitchen supplies were too notch. We loved our time here!!

Jess and Paul were amazing hosts. They were super responsive and accommodating before we even arrived and went above and beyond to offer recommendations for activities our family would enjoy in the area. And they attended to and resolved any questions immediately when they arose. As for their home…it is beautifully and thoughtfully remodeled with really nice appliances and fixtures. Beds and furniture were comfy and spotless. The main level is surrounded by windows, so natural light and views of the woods and lake are everywhere, and truly give you the feel that you are away from it all. Sure, you have to drive 15 minutes to the nearest grocery store. But the drive is beautiful and allows you to get out, explore and get to know the area. Our kids loved fishing right off the private dock. And another gem was the small state park beach just a mile down the road where you can rent paddle boats, canoes, kayaks and SUPs for use on the adjacent Echo Lake. We felt so comfortable in this home and were sad to leave. It’s a special little spot.
