About this property

A @Vermont_Escapes property - Escape to Vermont with us!

New Jacuzzi hot tub installed July '23.

Escape to the historic Rideout House, a 200-year-old property listed on the national register of historic places. Immerse yourself in the rich history of this property as you step inside its doors. This expansive 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom home boasts 4,500 square feet of living space spread across 2 and a half stories, perfect for families who want to vacation together yet still have their own private spaces.

The living room, featuring wide beam reclaimed barn wood floors, welcomes you to this charming abode. The spacious and well-appointed kitchen provides plenty of light and connects to two dining areas, allowing ample space for large groups to gather comfortably.

Step outside and discover the tranquility of the backyard, where a quiet private stream and firepit provide a perfect spot for relaxation. The adjacent Cold Spring Brook Park, recently restored by the community of Weston, provides additional outdoor recreation opportunities.

Located in the heart of small-town Weston, the Rideout House is just a short walk from the world-famous Weston Playhouse and Vermont Country Store. Take a short 16-minute drive to Okemo Mountain or the town of Ludlow for even more entertainment options.

This home sits on the foothills of the Green Mountains, with Okemo (16min), Magic Mountain (11min), Bromley (17 minutes), and Stratton (41min) within easy reach. Hiking enthusiasts will delight in the endless trails nearby, while Wantastiquet pond, just a 5-minute drive up Lawrence Hill Road, provides opportunities for fishing and boating at the nearby Wantastiquet Trout Club.

Foodies will appreciate the farm-to-table offerings in nearby Weston, Londonderry, and Ludlow, with an array of innovative, delicious, and extremely fresh meals. Don't miss out on nationally recognized Grandma Miller’s bakery, just a 15-minute drive away. Summers (May-Oct) bring the local farmers market to Londonderry, adding to the array of culinary delights in the area.

Come for the winters, stay for the summers and fall; Vermont has so much to offer. Book your stay at the Rideout House for an unforgettable vacation experience.

Spacious home in a nice location

Our extended family of 15 enjoyed our stay at The Historic Rideout. The house is spacious and is nicely equipped. It is in a nice quiet location with a small waterfall and park across the street which we used for a family photoshoot. The owner was very responsive to our questions. The owner provided a lot of information on the house and the area. The Vermont Country Store was a 5 minute walk away.

Great spot!

The house is fantastic, and in a great location. Despite all the floods the week before everyone on our golf trip had a great time. Just be cognitive of the neighbors at night as our small group didn’t realize they are right next door. David the host was great the house is awesome and everyone had a fantastic time! Would love to rent again with my wife and son!

Great house in a perfect location

We booked this house for our annual friend group ski trip and it did not disappoint. The house is located perfectly for travel to Okemo with it being only a 15 minute ride to clock tower base. One of the best parts of this house was the high number of bathrooms. Typically vacation houses focus on how many people can we get in one house and forget about the bathrooms. Having 6 bathrooms throughout the house was great and we never had cold water! Makes it quick and easy to get everyone through without taking too much time. Definitely will be looking at Vermont Escapes for our trip next year!

Amazing stay for large group, close to Okemo

My group of 12 had an amazing time at the house. First - it's even bigger than the pictures make it seem. Every room was cozy and comfortable (the main bedroom is HUGE), the shared spaces were also great. And don't underestimate the importance of this many bathrooms with a big group! The kitchen was perfect to cook a large group dinner. The parking is spacious and the drive to Okemo (and other nearby mountains) is straightforward and just about 15 minutes.
