Okemo ski trip with the family Itâs a cozy cabin in the woods Beautiful property Lots of peace and quiet Loved the wood stoves they worked great Beds could have been more comfortable but overall the place was fun and cozy with great privacy and suited all of our needs Plus it s dog friendly
This property was a great fit for my group for our annual Super Bowl ski trip. We hit 5 mountains in 5 days all of which were under an hour away. Bill checked in with me a few times as well. We would definitely come back.
Being from the city, my group was looking for somewhere remote and homey to enjoy the beautiful fall colors of Vermont, and Bills cabin was perfect. Bill was extremely communicative leading up to the stay and checking in with me afterwards. The cabin was clean and comfortable, music playing when we checked in! Very well equipped with anything you might need during an extended stay, utensils, dishwater, basic kitchen supplies, extra bedding, towels, you name it. Although there is no service, the WiFi is excellent. Hope to return in the future!
Bill was amazing - my daughter keeps saying she wants to meet him and hug him! The location was stunning and the 2 wood burning fireplaces were heaven!
We stayed at this cabin after coming across on it on Vrbo and it was the best choice. Rustic and roomy cabin, we enjoyed the wooded property, fishing and hiking near by.
Communication with the host was superb!
I only wished I stayed longer!
Amazing cabin for a weekend snowboarding at Okemo with family and friends
Wow, we were amazed by this property from the second we entered the home. There was already a fire started, and serene beautiful music playing. Everyone in my group could not stop talking about what a wonderful find Bill's home was. The two kitchens were well stocked, the entire place was pristine and clean, and overall it was super cozy and relaxing. We look forward to returning in the future for more family/friend ski trips!
House is on a beautiful piece of land close to Okemo. Its main strength is its charm and quirkiness. This is not a perfectly appointed house and may turn off some renters. But, we loved its rustic beauty and felt like we were having an adventure. It may not look it, but it's highly functional in its utilities. Maybe pack your favorite bedding for a little more comfort. The owner is very responsive and accomodating.
Bill was a great, caring, and gracious host. The house was rustic and comfortable. Our friends and family
made great memories here. Exactly what we were looking for. Book now and enjoy your stay.
We booked this property for a superbowl weekend at Okemo. Great proximity to the mountain, great wifi, enough hot water for all guests, enough heat to keep us warm in 5° weather, and a very communicative host. Highly recommended!
My husband and I absolutely loved the time we spent here with our 2 dogs and cat. The house was very clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for the month, including plenty of firewood for the colder days. The property is beautiful and blissfully quiet; we loved walking the trail in back of the house with the pups every morning, enjoying the fall foliage. Bill, the Owner, is super friendly, provided detailed information regarding the cabin and surrounding area, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again. Thank you Bill and Valerie!
Plenty of beds. 2 fireplaces. All the cookwares you need for the trip. Very nice and responsive owner. We all had a great time staying 3 nights for okemo snowboarding. Some beds can get a little cold in the mornings. Also maybe a bigger dinning area would be great. Thanks Bill.
Great place. Plenty of space. Clean. Owner is very personable and called to check we got it ok. Great time

Authentic, everything you need, Vermont accommodation.
Everything was precisely as discribed including directions to the house. It was perfect for our large group of adults and children. The area was a real rugged mountain rural tranquil sort of place. Huge property in an untouched by development landscape. If your looking for a place to stay while near and around Ludlow, we highly recommend staying at the Hornsbyâs.
First off I wanted to thank Bill for his quick response to everything, from point of reservation and during time of stay. The place is amazing. This is the first time I actually stayed in a true cabin. The owner of the home has set up the cabin to offer everything you need during your stay. The refrigerator was very clean and the beds were quite comfy. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities and beyond if you love to cook. The cabin slept 11 people comfortably. There is a private suite thatâs connected to the cabin if youâre into that. IT has itâs own bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and living room. I loved Billâs tape collection, I found a Miles Davis tape and played it atleast 3xâs. Thereâs reliable and fast internet. Bill has a nice television in the main room but when youre out in nature you tend to not turn it on often. We stayed during the norâeastern and the cabin stayed very warm. There was never a problem with water going cold. Everybody who showered got to bathe in warm water. Our stay to VT was to go ski and snowboard before the season was over and Billâs cabin is about 13 mins away from Okemo Resort which makes it easily accessible. The drive way can be slippery when the snow has been packed down so if you have a 4wd; not a problem, but if youâre a two wheel drive make sure to bring snow chains or have your friends push your car up. LOL. That too was fun. I would highly recommend Billâs cabin. GPS had no problems finding the cabin. I hope to stay in Billâs cabin again for future travels to VT. Enjoy your stay a this true cabin. It truly is a blessing in nature.
Thanks Bill for everything.
Great house! spacious and open w terrific amenities.
We had a wonderful time at Bill's house. Plenty of room for guests. We used the grills for cooking steaks and burgers. The kayaks were perfect for a paddle in nearby Lake Ninevah. Good hike up Okemo and a few afternoons cooling by Buttermilk Falls. Also took in the State Fair including a demolition derby that was a thrill! Thanks Bill, for a great stay.
Bill's place was perfect for me and my 11 friends to stay for president's day weekend. There is one real bedroom and three full sized beds total with a number of couches and mats to sleep on around the house so if you're comfortable with that set up this place is a great deal. Bill's place is also only 15 min away from Okemo so perfect for skiing/snowboarding there. Bill was also very responsive and reliable as a host.
My stay at the cabin was a wonderful experience! I travel every summer with a large group of my friends (10-15+) and this is by far the most enjoyable place we've stayed! It is very unique. There are a number of reading nooks, comfortable benches, and futons that my friends have no trouble inhabiting for a night. The trade off is a homey place to spend quality time where people aren't inclined to bury themselves in cell phones or computers. It rained nearly every day we visited, but getting away from it all with friends was well worth it.
Bill was very kind and helpful throughout all stages of our stay. We did have an issue with running out of well water due to a toilet stopper issue, but he sent someone to our aid pronto (very appreciated with 10+ people needing showers and toilets). Although we didn't quite have swimming weather, we walked down to the lake and met some very friendly folks. I'm not sure if you can swim in the lake, but the owner made his boats available to us; a tempting offer had we been able to attach them to one of our cars. There was a Shaws not 10 minutes away, and we visited a local restaurant (Outbak Pizza) for a friend's birthday. The food was good, but what was great was the Open Mic Night! Highly recommend it if you're with a large group! I hope to go back to this cabin one day!
This was an awesome property! We go away every winter and this is the first time we have stayed at such a unique vacation home. We loved the log cabin feel! The iron fireplaces/stoves were so relaxing. It is conveniently located and yet was secluded enough. Really close to the slopes and town. As mentioned, there was no cell phone service (best part of the trip, if you ask me!) but there was a land-line and Wifi in the house.The property had plenty of amenities that accommodated the 12 of us comfortably, such as extra EXTRA blankets and towels. Everything, from the interior and exterior, was very clean and well taken care of. The owner of the property was great and responded super quick to our emails and phone calls! I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family, and hope to return next winter!
