This place was amazing. I don’t usually do reviews, but this one deserves it. It is 15 min from Okemo and 30 from Killington. Food is 10 min away by car but there are small shops 1-3 min away. Extremely charming atmosphere. We had alot of family there. 8 adults, 6 kids, and we all fit with plenty of room to spare.

Best Christmas ever! Thirteen of us on the day after Christmas for Beef Wellington and gifts and a bad movie. The kitchen was fully-equipped and large enough for competing cooks, the big barn room held the tree and presents, and the big screen TV was perfect. Ten of us stayed the whole week. Comfortable beds, plenty of room to stretch out, play video games, and find a place for an old grandpa to read and nap in peace. Property owner and th manager were immediately responsive when we had a slight issue with the heating systems in the barn (resolved and worked beautifully.) We were one hundred percent happy.

House was BETTER than described.. so many amazing amenities. Tons of space for 4 families (each with 2 kids) to spread out or to join together. Lovely town, EASY drive to Okemo and absolutely amazing communicative owner. I've rented at least 2 places a year for the last ~15 years, and the communication and features of this property trump almost all. HIGHLY recommended.

This property was great for our party! Our annual ski trip to Vermont was made extra special by staying here. So much room in the yard for sleigh riding and the house had so many amenities our kids were never bored and barley even watched TV! This was a great house for a large group, and can easily fit 16+ people.

Our family (13 of us in total, ranging in age from 2 to 77) enjoyed a week in this home. The game room was a wonderful place for the kids to enjoy themselves. The kitchen was fully stocked with every spice you could think of. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the firepit on the patio very much. The only challenge was that the home wasn't fenced in and since it was on the main road, it was a little challenging with 3 kids under 4 years of age and dogs. Never the less, a wonderful vacation experience. And the owners did a great job sharing ideas of places to go and enjoy the area, too!
