Beyond charming
It felt like our family was living in a historic home but with modern amenities. "The Mill" as the owners refer to it, is a perfect place for a family retreat or holiday. There are multiple places for family members to gather as well as places to sneak off and be alone in a full house. The town is very cute and we were lucky to catch some opening runs at Okemo!

Amazing Okemo Getaway - Unique Property
Our family stayed at "the Mill" for a long ski weekend. The house is amazing - it is truly a unique property. Our family has stayed at dozens of Vermont rental homes over the past 2 decades - and this home was our most memorable. There are so many different living spaces and areas to spend time together with friends and family - We found ourselves rotating between couches and fireplace areas to enjoy the different vibes in each room. The master bedroom suite is breathtaking - with amazing views. You can hear the river babbling outside the house while you are eating dinner or relaxing by the fire. We enjoyed every minute spent at the house - and Okemo mountain was less than 20 minutes away for great skiing. We hope to return again !
