Excellent ski vacation

We loved the house. It was so comfortable it felt like being at home. The kitchen was fantastic with a very spacious island for prepping meals and seating at the island for pre-dinner drinks. The hosts were super responsive and accommodated an early check-in for us. Their customer service was probably the best we’ve encountered.

Wonderful!

This is a great home. Well stocked and one of the cleanest properties that we have stayed at. I would definitely stay again. We skied Killington and had about a 20 minute drive from the house to the Skyship base which worked well for our group.

About the host

Hosted by Michele

We purchased this home to enjoy time with family and friends and take advantage of various nearby ski resorts, lakes, hiking trails, swim holes and a variety of other joys we are still uncovering. We love that this spot is private and truly a retreat for our family which we hope to extend to others when we are not there. This location is in the middle of quite a bit of fun in just about every direction. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property is centered in the middle of all the things we love to do. We love nature and the outdoors and wanted a private escape that would accommodate our family and friends with access to a variety of outdoor pleasures. We love the close access to multiple ski resorts, especially Okemo and Killington and wanted to be near the snow mobile trails to explore a whole new world. It only helps that our neighbor has extended a cross country skiing trail for us to enjoy, literally abutting our property.

We love the fact there is a fishing pond 3 doors down and a very popular Echo lake down the main road. We love kayaking and boating and can't wait for this summer to enjoy time. Needless to say, Camp Plymouth with its variety of hiking trails and all the nearby wildlife were huge draws for us. There's apparently a moose crossing just up the road from us where travelers park and wait for their very own moose sighting. There is also a 20 mile stream on our property that not only bolsters a nice view and backyard fishing, but sounds incredible, especially at night! We love the foliage in the fall and this location is not only beautiful to drive to, it's nearby all the leave peeping joys of Vermont. On that note, while driving around exploring the area, check out the Shires of Woodstock which are not too far and enjoy indulging in the multiple breweries, all within 30 minutes.

We are so excited about our escape and hope you enjoy it as much as we will.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property for a several reasons, first its central location to all sorts of outdoor fun in the spring, winter, summer and fall! We LOVE that the house is set up on a big sledding hill which is so exciting for our kids. There is even a natural sled ramp that’s a TON of fun. We absolutely LOVE that 20 mile stream flows through our property. It adds so much character, from the old stone wall around it to the small swimming pools it creates. Sitting up on the back deck, the sound of trickling and flowing water are so relaxing it makes you want to stay even longer. Watch sunsets from the back deck come through the trees and don't forget star gazing at night!! I can't believe how many stars we see! This location is a haven for cyclists. We also love the proximity to snow mobile trails, a well known fishing Colby pond, a popular picturesque Echo Lake and tons of hiking trails all around us. If you love the outdoors, you will love this spot!
