The house and location were great and Maria was very communicative. Would stay again tomorrow!

Our large group (10) had comfortable accommodation, and enjoyed the lake and kayaks! The house was beautiful (and had tasteful choice in poster). There is plenty of entertainment to enjoy the summer in Vermont, including Mt Killington and some amazing local restaurants.

Property had a great location, we loved the lake access. The home was spacious and well stocked with everything except towels. I did not recall the listing saying we had to bring our own towels as that is unusual for VRBO rentals. Luckily we had family in town that let us borrow as there are not any options to buy towels close by. Everything else about the house was great and the owners were easy to communicate with.

Perfect house for a large family ski trip! We had 6 adults and 5 kids (ranging from 6 months to 7 years old). Would love to stay here again next year!

My family had an amazing time! The house is very close to Okemo. The layout makes it work nicely for multiple families to split the upper and lower rooms, and the bonus kitchen in the basement really came in handy. Lots of space to hang out. Also I have to mention the water pressure in the showers was incredible- everyone kept talking about it all week. Maria checked in with us towards the end of the trip which was just so thoughtful. We would love to come back to stay here again!

House was perfect for our group of 11. Super close (6 minutes) to Jackson Gore which is where we always start our ski days. The owner was very responsive and replied within minutes to our texts. If we have the same group size next year, we’ll definitely be back! 😊
2.0 / 5.0
Overall the house itself was ok. We picked it because we have a big group. The house had plenty of space and was mostly clean. It is a great location, only 5 minutes from Okemo. It mentions the dock, but there isn't a clear path, you have to walk through a snowy yard to get to it. Then when we trekked down there, the dock wasnt even cleared of snow, so you couldn't sit. We spent a ton of time looking for thefirepit only for someone to accidentally discover it completely covered in snow. We had to clear it out ourselves and put out the chairs around it. Would have been nice to have that done beforehand.
One of the toughest things about the home is how loud it is when people move around. Someone walking up & down the stairs can be heard all over. The basement bedrooms are rough (1 "bedroom' didn't have a window, so not actually a br) because you hear everything!
The biggest issue was the check out message from the owner filled with odd claims and outright lies. She claimed that we had a lack of respect for the home and "the house was really unusually dirty".We as a group have rented a home for 5 years and never had a complaint. We did all the required steps, stripped beds, did dishes, tidied up. She claims we didn't empty the trash, which we did and I think the "mess" was a dirty kitchen floor. For a 300 cleaning fee, we were not going to vacuum. Also, a statue was broken upon arrival, and she claims we did it. Be wary if you don't want to face false accusations.

Personally i walked into a dream home. And if you have a big group like i did. Of about 11 people this location is perfect for a few days to spend on okemo. The home had perfect showers, the heating was perfect. The fireplace was a great touch to hang around and play board games. The host was super communicative even while traveling. All questions answered thorughly and check out proecedurrs were clearly explained. I would absolutely stay here again. Even with the weather being freezing the home was always warm and cozy.

We had such an amazing weekend! The house was so clean and organized when we arrived. It fits 12 people perfectly with bed and common room seating! It rained almost the entire time we stayed but the house has a cozy energy that makes it feel like a home (the massive supply of games helped too)! Thank you so much and we’ll be back!!

We were a group of two families with all adult children staying for a ski weekend. The house was great, spacious enough that no one was on top of each other but with a nice living room where we could all hang out. Okemo and all the town's shops were easily within 10 minutes. Maria was prompt to respond to any questions we had and very welcoming. Would definitely come again.

We just finished our stay with another family. The house is in an amazing location- very central to Okemo and Killington. The layout is great for families with children. Host was exceptional with communication. The lake access and use of the kayaks and canoe was an added special bonus. We would absolutely recommend and stay again!

Our Stay here was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I took our three grown children and their families for a reunion after not being able to do it for three years. This home is everything you would want when having a family of adults and children. We all had our own space when needed and when we gathered together it was wonderful. LOVED the three full baths and all the separate bedrooms. Kitchen was perfect. Everything you would need to cook. We utilized the fire pit several times which is awesome.
The dock area is absolutely beautiful. We understand is is all new. The grandchildren loved it. I think our only complaint would be that the sun never seems to hit this side of the lake so it was a bit cold when swimming. Taking out the kayaks was so much fun.
LOVED the front porch with all the rocking chairs. That was our hang out before dinner. The back deck is a little buggy, but lovely. Maria is a wonderful host. She was quick to respond all the time. IF you are planning a vacation with family of all ages, I recommend this. The area is lovely. Okemo Mountain resort has a lot to do and the waterfalls were so much fun for the kids.

Kitchen was well-equipped and the dock-deck was fabulous.
Little Chief was a super place to stay with the family. The kitchen was well equipped to make big meals; loaded with pots and pans, blender, dishes, you name it they had it. The dock and deck were wonderful- new, clean, safe and relaxing. What a splendid stay! Would recommend this place to others!

Ludlow Fun!
We did this trip with Great Grandparents, Grandparents (us) and half of the kids in our family. It was a good time, the house was great! Make sure you sign up for the wifi as soon as you get there and look up times and days when things are open! This way you can plan when to cook and play games, use the lake, etc... at the house. We had a great time! Owner was quick, easy and polite to message.

The. Best. Time. Ever.
Family of 10 adults, 2 teenagers, 2 small children, and 2 dogs. Enough room for all. The weather was perfect. Spent most of our time at the dock; kayaking, water boarding (brought our own), and swimming / wading. The dock is awesome and the lake is beautiful and clean. Although the property borders a highway, there's a good separation between yard and road. We played badminton, spike ball, football / baseball catch; the front porch was the place to hang. Fire pit was well used.
Went hiking in nearby parks and had a bit of fun with summer activities at Okemo, the local ski resort. Ludlow close enough for quick grocery shopping. Fantastic selection of beer at the Brewfest Beverage. Definitely suggest visiting Blue Sky Trading in Ludlow for gifts and souvenirs as well as the Sugar House on rt 100.
Everyone loved this property. Will definitely book again.
House décor is awesome. Loved the clocks and all the DMB wall hangings. :)

Comfortable house in a nice location
We enjoyed our stay at Maria's house. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for our group of 9. We enjoyed the nice fire pit area. While it's only about a three minute walk to the shared dock/ lake access, it was too steep for my parents (in their 80's). We appreciated the use of the kayaks. Lake Rescue is a very pretty, clean lake. Ludlow is a great town. There is a grocery store where we were able to stock up -- we cooked many of our meals at the house. There are plenty of dishes, pots and pans, etc. There are also many nice restaurants in Ludlow and we had a great meal at Du Jour VT. Maria was very responsive to any questions I had.

Family Friendly with lots to do
Our family enjoyed the relaxed feeling of this home. The lake access and watercraft made the visit fun for all ages. Especially nice was the fire pit. The night of songs and s’mores will be a cherished family memory.

One of the best summer trips.
Great cottage, fully stocked with everything you need, 5 boats, 3 mins walk to lake (water was warm). Check in and communication with Maria was excellent. Don’t think twice….

Great House With Lots of Space
My friends and I (group of 14) stayed in the house this past weekend and never felt on top of each other. Plenty of space for a large group both to hang out and sleep. Big front yard for various yard games as well. Would definitely stay again!
