Clean and cozy house in great location.

Our overall experience was great! Catherine is a very responsive and accommodating host. The property is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from Okemo and about 25 minutes from Viking X-country ski center and Stratton. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you may need during your stay. Thank you, Catherine, for hosting us. We enjoyed our stay at your property!

Winter Weekend Stay

Tranquil property located within a 10 minute drive of Okemo Mountain Ski Resort base lodge. Spacious, but cozy feeling, apartment located on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Property owner was on the property (but we never met them), and communication was great. Large bedrooms and comfortable beds. Kitchen is a bit snug and probably the reason for limiting the number of guests. Easily accommodated us as we had the teens eat together first, and then the adults. Nice space for adults and families with older kiddos.

Bonding Time with the Family

As a single dad wanted to get away and take the kids on a long weekend. I ski but nobody else so I looked at this place and new just buy the pics I and my family would love it. They had a huge hill for sledding which my kids and I took advantage. Also close to the mountain to do other non skiing activities. Rooms were just perfect to relax.5star!!

Great Property

This rental has it all, being both comfortable and cozy. Unit was well furnished to the smallest detail. Property and surrounding area includes everything that makes Vermont special, woods, trails, mountains, skiing at Okemo (in season) and nearby Village of Ludlow, which is fun to roam. We'll come back for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Joanne

I have been passionate about providing hospitality here in the Green Mountains of Vermont since 1993, when St. Joseph's Dwelling Place first opened its doors. Staying here and experiencing the beauty and peace of our natural setting is a retreat in itself! In addition, my education and experience are in Spiritual Direction and facilitating Retreats for guests who desire these services.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, peaceful, inspiring surroundings, running brook, rolling hillside and meadow. Many large windows let in natural light and provide stunning views all around the house. Lots of natural wood and brick, comfortable chairs and simple decor encourage rest, relaxation, prayer and reflection.
