Comfortable Lake House Near Okemo

This property was perfect for our family to enjoy a Feb ski vacation. Great location just minutes from the mountain, parking and great views of the lake. Barb the owner, was attentive and provided useful recommendations of local attractions. The house was very well equipped for our family to enjoy time together before and after time skiing Okemo. Highly recommended.

Family getaway

The lake house was a welcome break from the poor skiing conditions. We especially enjoyed the new large hot tub and the dining area which doubled as a game playing table.

Perfect Location

If you want to have all the outdoor options, this is the spot! Right on the lake and minutes from Okemo, this house would be magical in either the winter or summer! It was a bit rustic but we liked that aspect and made our stay even more of a break from the daily grind. Also, the owner was so kind and accommodating!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Silver

The Hemlocks has been in my family since the 1940s, and I've been going to the lake all my life. We purchased the cottage from my cousin in 2004, and renovated it with great care and attention to detail. I am a retired university professor with 2 grown daughters. I'm very active, love to ski, and my favorite time in the world is being at the lake. It is my second home and expect my guests to treat it with respect and care!

Why they chose this property

Lakeside serenity, quiet, no loud road noise, towering pines, 5-minutes from Okemo and about 20 from the backside of Killington - everything close by. Adorably decorated, everything provided - home away from home!
