Some challenges when we arrived because cleaning lady had been misinformed about day of our arrival. Owner was easily contacted and acted immediately to fix the problem. Then the house was clean, well-equipped kitchen, great view of mountains and the full moon from upper balcony.Fully air conditioned , washer & dryer available at the house.
Loved our stay. House is so comfortable and well appointed. Amazing views too! We enjoyed time together with family for the holidays as well as exploring Woodstock and skiing at killington. The whole family agreed that this house was worth the drive from the ski resort!
The home is very welcoming and comfortable
Even while there was a heatwave. The owners are very thoughtful in making sure our stay was enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again.
Our experience started weeks prior to arriving. The communication from the owners was some of the best I have experienced. It only continued throughout and even after our stay. The house itself was perfect for my family and was in a great location. There were plenty of games, puzzles, and toys (Lincoln logs) that kept the kids busy. We look forward to staying here again.
The house was wonderful and so cozy! Very well kept. great fireplace, lots of space for the family, very well stocked for family meals. we really enjoy this location for skiiing at okemo and will definitely stay here again if we can!
Audrey and Howard were perfect hosts and their home was amazing! The cleaning crew was just finishing up when we arrived and the house was clean and ready for our week long stay. A pre-arrival email from Audrey gave us all required info and we were greeted with a nice note with additional information, some suggestions for sightseeing and dining options, some local snacks and a nice bottle of wine. The kitchen was well stocked and had a well stocked pantry with a great selection of spices as well as all the needed appliances including a nice gas Weber grill, cookware, dishes and glassware you would ever need.
The living room was very comfortable with 2 large sofas and 2 large chairs. The high speed internet was great as was the large HDTV. There were lots of books and games to enjoy and a spacious dining table and chairs for our group. The outside decks were all very welcoming and we particularly enjoyed sitting on the comfortable patio chairs for evening cocktails and morning coffee while taking in the marvelous vistas. Our favorite pastime was relaxing around a roaring fire in the massive stone fireplace in the evening that was supplied with plenty of super dry firewood!!
The bedrooms and ensuite bathes were all very comfortable and each had a nice deck with a large sliding glass door.
Howard checked in by text several times to ensure all was going well and answer and questions we might have.
All in all, we had a marvelous stay and look forward to returning in the future!!
Gas grill on deck and well stocked kitchen to cook in. The owner was very responsive when we had a problem with the hot water. It turns out they just had it serviced and the repairmen just forgot to turn a valve back on. Easy fix.
We have had a great experience from start to finish. The owner of the property was very helpful in answering our questions and accommodating our group. The property was clean and worked perfectly for our group. Over a great stay and I would recommend staying here.
Absolutely wonderful home. Well stocked kitchen, nice wood-burning fireplace, comfortable beds, beautiful views, great communication with owners, private but close to town and Okemo.
This beautiful chalet nestled on Hawk Mountain with views of Lake Amherst feels like we are home. This was the third time. The Host are so accommodating by answering questions, supporting with some needs for our grandchildren and suggestions of places to visit. By far the best stock kitchen of all the VRBO rental I have used. If you are looking for quality time with family or take on Okemo or Killington, I highly recommend this home. We will definitely rent again in 2023.
The property needs maintained. Floors are all scuffed up (need refinished), dust hanging from ceiling fan and ceiling, dust on window ledges at fireplace. Accumulating odd pieces of furniture, some broken (desk chair). Ovens and toaster oven need cleaned. Recliner doesn't go down. Accumulation of used candles on mantle. No hand rails at commodes or tubs. Laundry room has stacks of bedding to be put away. When paying these rates a night I expect same perfection I would get at a hotel, where I can ask for refund or a different room. We've rented 4 VRBO homes this year, this was a disappointment. Location was great.
This three-story mountain home is a wonderful place for a family to have a retreat in any season we were visiting in the summer and the views were terrific The breezes through the house delicious and we just had a wonderful time The one caution is there are many many steep stairs and if there's any mobility restrictions for people this would be a difficult house but otherwise it was wonderful
The house was stunning from the entrance on. The living room you enter with it's gorgeous fireplace brings on the oohs and ahhs. For once there were plenty of bathrooms! Decorated for fun, functionality and style it was the perfect getaway cabin and the views from the balconies (2) take your breath away. Wonderful communication with the host and plenty to do for active types and just relaxing around the home. Stay and enjoy this perfect getaway!
We couldn't have chosen a better spot for our short vacation with our adult children. We hiked and kayaker, and never had to venture very far from Audrey and Howard's beautiful and spacious home. The kitchen was very well equipped, and we enjoyed our evenings there cooking in and playing games. Howard is a great communicator, and everything was super smooth.
Awesome spring fling or with family and friends This was a really good trip weâll do it again I love the view of the lake like Amhurst lots of things to do for all ages
Great house. Super clean. Lots of nice details that are not common in vacation rental. Audrey and Howard are very nice and responsive. We had a great time.
Our trip was a much needed break for everyone, and the cabin was perfect! All creature comforts were provided for, and we really enjoyed the generous space, the gorgeous view, as well as the fireplace and the many games that were played. Thank you, Audrey and Howard for being such accommodating, wonderful and gracious hosts!
This is one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed at. Very comfortable main area with large all stone wood burning fireplace(stocked with ample supply of wood). Beautiful mountain views from the large windows. Loaded with many games and books to help relax and pass the time. Kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to kook gourmet meals nightly. Two lower levels of the house had the 4 bedrooms, able to accomodate large family and still have privacy. Short drives to ski resorts. Awesome, I will stay here again if we come back to Vermont!!!
Audrey and George were very accommodating. The house is beautiful and has all the needed amenities. With many things like kitchen utensils, coffee maker, washer and dryer and more. They have many games to keep all ages busy if needed. They had the fireplace already set up with lots of wood to keep the fire blazing, which was a total enjoyment with the cooler weather. The living room is perfect with the views and lots of space. There is more than enough space for anywhere from 2-10 people to stay and maybe more. The views are very nice, overlooking the woods and lake in the background from the top deck, while the lower deck is quiet and comfortable. If you want peace and privacy this is the house. The ride from Connecticut is very easy, straight up 91 north with a calm drive through a few small towns, and the resort area is right up to the mountains with a crushed stone road. There are three lakes in the area that are pristine and if you like to take pictures, fish, or just bird watch you can have at it! We drove to the top of Okemo for some awesome views of Ludlow and the mountains. The ride is steep so be ready for some fun! Ludlow is close and there are many good places for food and groceries if needed. We totally enjoyed everything about this property and will look forward to coming again. My hat's off to Audrey and George for allowing us the use of their family home. We could feel the love put into this house and are very thankful for the memories my family will have for years!
This cabin was so cute! The entrance into the cabin and the views from inside are so enchanting, you feel like itâs just you in the woods. It was more than accommodating for our group of 6, we especially appreciated the amount of full bathrooms. Definitely would recommend.
