Idyllic Lakefront House Suited Two Families

The Lake House - One of Ludlow's Most Picturesque Rentals

This comfortable and convenient, 3 bedroom, 3 bath lakefront home with fully-appointed kitchen & full laundry is perfectly situated to enjoy a relaxing Vermont vacation. The home sleeps 10 people and is only 2 miles to the area's best skiing!

Right out of the back door, you'll find one of Vermont's most pristine lakes. (No motor boats permitted.) The fresh, mountain air and stunning Vermont views will greet you at every turn. The boat dock and included kayaks and canoe (with life vests) make for great fun, great fishing and great relaxation a full three seasons out of the year. Paddle to the nearby overflow "waterfall", swim, or fish from the dock or one of the boats ... great for kids and adults of all ages. Whether you're looking for the best hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking ... or just enjoying the view with a fresh, hot cup of coffee on the deck, you'll find this location and this home the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

THE MOST RELAXING VACATION I EVER HAD
“If you're looking for the most perfect vacation house for a relaxing week I highly recommend this one."
Review by Paige L.


PEACEFUL & COMFORTABLE
“The house is spacious, there are beautiful views
of the lake from the living room and master bedroom.“
Review by Alicia B
.
The location is ideal for summer or winter. (Okemo 2 miles away Buttermilk Falls, golf etc 3 miles)
The quintessentially Vermont town of Ludlow (about 4 miles) offers great local shops, a fully-stocked supermarket, drugstore, hardware store, bike shop, wine shops and fantastic restaurants.

The beautiful and historic town of Woodstock is a short 25 mile drive, and you can stop at the brewery and get a sampler of the different word famous Long Trail ales and maybe enjoy lunch or dinner there right next to at a murmuring brook. . The renowned Weston Playhouse Theater is even closer at just 10 miles. Weston is worth a visit by itself.


Winter - It's virtually impossible to beat this home and this location for great winter activity and relaxation. From the winter wonderland that the lake and surrounding area becomes, to some of the most amazing skiing in all of Vermont, you'll find it all close by. Okemo's newest lodge, Jackson Gore, is just 2 miles away and connects with other Okemo lodges via a network of 121 trails & glades, 667 acres of terrain and a vertical drop of 2,200 feet ... the most in southern Vermont. Okemo is reliable to always have fantastic grooming and is known for “the best in family fun”. If you are an extreme skier and need a challenge go to nearby Killington.

Nearby Skiing
• Okemo
• Viking Nordic Center
• Magic Mountain Ski Area
• Killington
• Pico Mountain Ski Resort
• Suicide Six Downhill Ski Area
• Sugarbush / Mad River Glenn about 1 h (See a spectacular frozen waterfall on the way.)

Spring & Summer - Activities abound! From the plentiful parks, the nearby state forest, the Appalachian trail or the Long Trail, this home is close to them all. Plan a bike trip along one of the rivers or the chain of lakes on which this home sits, play tennis on the nearby public court or play golf just 3 miles away! Jump in the water at the famous Buttermilk Falls just 3 miles away.
Many of the local mountains offer scenic rides, exciting activities for children and teenagers, and mountain biking.

“We spent the majority of our time swimming, fishing, kayaking, and just hanging out in the backyard.”
Review by Aimee D.

“We really enjoyed staying at this very comfortable cottage. It was a very convenient base to go mountain biking, hiking, and of course canoeing was right out the back door.”
Review by Deborah O.


Autumn - Sited in one of the lushest areas in Southern Vermont, the fall colors here are nothing short of breath-taking. From sunny, warm days - perfect for hiking and biking and relaxing - to the cool, crisp nights tailor-made for a glass of wine or s'mores around the fire (weather permitting), this is the place to take it all in.


Nearby for the kids -
• The Sugarhouse at The Lake is just two houses south and is the place to go for maple syrup, old fashioned candy and wonderful local gifts. (send them there with the boat(s)
• Okemo / Killington summer attractions
• The Waterslide @ Pico Mountain
• Ben & Jerry's Vermont Ice Cream Factory
• The historical birthplace of President Calvin Coolidge
• The Vermont Cheese Factory

Great House, Great Location!
This house was a perfect find for our trip to Okemo. Just a couple minute drive into the town of Ludlow and to Okemo bases. It was nice to be able to come back to the house after being at Okemo all day, shower, and drive right back to town to eat dinner and stop in the ski shops. Also, stop at the Green Mountain Sugar House for maple creamies, which is less than a minute away. The home is cozy and clean, stocked with everything you need, but might sometimes forget to bring with you. The views of the lake are beautiful, even from just sitting on the couch in the living room looking out the wall of windows. We watched a bald eagle grab its breakfast from the lake and it sat on a tree branch to eat right in front of the house. We want to come back and experience this house in the summer to paddle board on the lake. The host is great, so nice and great communication. Thank you!

Adult Ski Trip
We had a great time staying here for a guy weekend skit trip. The place was perfect for a few dudes and the location to Okemo was perfect. It was also close enough to ski Killington as one of our friends did that one of the days, but It was 5 minute drive to Jackson Gore Parking and 5 minute drive into the town of Ludlow. Would love to come back.

Our second time here ..
We absolutely love staying here. It’s cozy and close to Jackson Gore / Okemo. We love that we can bring our dogs and be so close to skiing. Being able to do laundry or dry gloves from the kids is the best! We always have so much fun sitting around the table looking out at the water and playing games. This year it was poker with the littles. As always we visited the sugar shack for maple creamies after a long day of boarding / skiing! Will be back again!

Great Spot for Ski Trip
We enjoyed our stay, the rooms were big and furnishings very comfortable. It's not updated, but is clean and nice and feels like the Lake House it is. Was very convenient to Okemo and Killington. The posting on the property indicated it had a hot tub but it does not. Not a deal breaker for us at all. Would stay there again! If you're there in the winter, definitely need a 4wheel or allwheel drive vehicle to navigate the road in. When we arrived, the cleaning service was stuck trying to get out and we were able to help them do so before we could get down the driveway. Owner also was very responsive and checkin/out was super easy.

Nice stay, comfortable location
This was our 3rd stay at this location. While the weather wasn’t ideal for skiing the week we were there, the house was cozy. We enjoyed our stay, the house was clean, and the views were really nice even with all the rain. The house seemed to have been spared most of the flooding that plagued the area except for in the basement - which isn’t a sleeping area anyway. Ursula is a wonderful host and excellent communicator. Very pleased and hope to visit again soon.

Christmas in Vermont
We dreamed of a White Christmas, but alas, there was very little snow. Despite that, we enjoyed staying in this VRBO. Everything was supplied, the cabin was very comfortable and the location was very good. We hadn't planned on going skiing anyway, so we were able to take a couple of hikes in the beautiful area.

A lovely stay
This cozy house was the perfect place for our ski trip to Okemo. Just a few minutes down the road from the main entrance and town and around the corner from the Sugar House where you can get the most delicious maple cream soft serve. Pretty view of the lake. The house was clean and the owner put in lots of thoughtful touches. Plenty of space for two families of seven people total. We appreciated the fireplace and whirlpool tub after a day on the slopes.

I stayed in September/October. Still warm enough for fishing and kayaking, which is easy to do, just a few steps from the house. I traveled solo, but the house is huge...big enough for 2 families, with everything you could need. When I lost internet, Ursula was on the case to fix it in no time. Highly recommended!

Well appointed comfortable house
This house clearly was used by owners who stayed in it and took good care of it. It was perfect for folks who like to cook together and hang out, with big tables inside and on the deck. It was all one floor so it would work well for anyone who had trouble with stairs. Beds were very comfortable. The recent flooding in Ludlow brought lots of junk into the lake so no one was swimming but we went canoeing. Owners response to communication was fast.

We had a great vacation. The house was clean and the location on the lake was great. We enjoyed having dinner on the deck and sitting around the firepit in the evenings. We all enjoyed using the canoe and kayaks, too. Durinh our stay we also did some hiking, visited a couple local breweries, which had great atmospheres and were family friendly. If you are up for an adventure look into Hathaway Farms corn maze. It's a bit of a drive, but we thought it was worth it. Ursula was easy to communicate throughout the whole process. We would recommend staying here.

It was a great house, fun ping pong table, nice expansive deck with a grill overlooking the lake. On our first days we were able to enjoy kayaking and swimming from the dock. The house is steps away from the Sugar House, which had all kinds of yummy Vermont goodies. I think we would have had a wonderful trip if it wasn’t for the unprecedented weather.
