We stayed at Keith and Tatum's home for a week and had a great time! The beds are super comfortable and we had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the back porch and watching the river. Keith was available for any questions we had and gave us information on local activities going on that week. We will definitely be back again!

The house was great! It was spacious enough for all of us to spread out. And, it was close enough to Mt Snow that going back and forth wasn’t a challenge.

Host was super responsive, proximity to Mt. Snow was great and drive to Okemo was doable, and plenty of space in house for kids. Cozy living room for post ski Olympic watching! We had a great ski week—thank you!

We had a great time at the Lions Mane Lodge. Check in was simple. The house was warm and inviting. It was only a 10 min drive to Mt Snow so it was very convenient. All the amenities you could want. I would hightly recommend the Lions Mane Lodge to any family looking for space and convenience to the local mountains.

Ski weekend with kids, friends, and family

Comfortable house with a great set up for families with kids, including two families given the room set ups. Not far from Mount Snow although in the wrong direction from town (which we knew). Great for a quick ski weekend.

Great Family House

The house is in a great location on the main road and between Stratton and Mount Snow. We went skiing at both! It has a nice setup for family fun, open layout, plenty of beds and hangout space, everything you need in the kitchen, games, movies and more. The house was cozy and clean and I would rent this house again!

Wonderful family ski trip

We feel so fortunate to have found this great spot a short drive away from Mt Snow and right on a beautiful river. Cozy, warm, and had everything we needed. Becky was so communicative and everything was easy. Thank you!

Spacious and simply stay!

My group and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and couldn't have asked for an easier welcome and stay. A few of my guests met the owners upon check-in and only had wonderful things to say about them. Majority of us live busy lives and Chris' home hit the spot for the perfect "off the radar" vibes but close enough to civilization if we really wanted it. The house is simple and has all the needs one can ask or want for. My group and I would gladly return!

Nice quiet getaway from it all

Quiet retreat with a nice little river out back, with plenty of room for a fire pit if you’d like. Lenty of amenities to make your stay comfortable with a nice dining and living room area downstairs. My personal favorite was the upstairs however, with several beds and the convertible washer and dryer. should you need it!

We had a great stay at this ski house rental overall!The kitchen was very good — stocked with everything we needed. The bathrooms were spacious and well kept, and the bedrooms were large with plenty of beds to accommodate everyone easily. Communication with the owners was quick and seamless from start to finish, which made everything stress-free.The one con was that we were informed the day before arrival that the propane fireplace wasn’t working due to maintenance. It would have been nice to know earlier, especially since it’s the middle of winter and the fireplace adds to the ski house experience. We booked the house expecting the fireplace. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and we appreciated how responsive the owners were throughout the process.

Had some trouble with the lock and host did respond in evening hours and resolved it by remotely unlocking the doors for us. Location is great to Stratton however the home could use a deep clean. The bunk room had lady bugs flying throughout, spider webs on ceilings…the gas stove for heat was not working and the listing did not reflect that. The downstairs took very long to heat up with baseboard heat only and it didn’t help that windows and doors on main floor are very drafty. Despite some drawbacks, the beds were comfty and home is roomy for 2 families. We were able to cook our meals during our stay.

functional but not the best experience

Overall, a functional place for staying for a ski trip at stratton. We had a large group and we ate breakfast and dinner at the bnb. Unfortunately, the power went out during our stay in the middle of the night and the description does mention that it might go out, there wasn't a storm happening or anything. It also didn't seem like the host made any effort to inquire why there was a power outage. Luckily the power came back on in the morning so it wasn't too bad. There also wasn't enough toilet paper and paper towels, and we messaged the host but they said they wouldn't provide and we'd have to go out and buy some. Additionally there is only 3 in 1 mens shampoo so I would recommend bringing shampoo and soap. All of these things were also on the listing as to be provided by the BNB host though they weren't / were not adequately provided for the entirety of our stay.

New Year’s Ski Weekend

This house was very clean and met the needs of our family- friend weekend. It was well stocked with everything we needed. It’s just a few minutes away from Mt. Snow. Becky, the homeowner, was very attentive and quick to reply to messages. Thank you for the cozy house!
