Fine place, way overpriced

It is presented as some kind of luxury get away price-point wise. But it felt a bit disappointing in comparison to that. And had looked forward to nice fire in the chimney but that was not possible because it was in disrepair. But otherwise, pretty good location (maybe just a tad too far to walk). Nice area. Well equipped kitchen

Response from VrboOwner on 19 July 2023
I appreciate your feed back. I am sorry you did not feel that the price point accurately reflected the property. Nightly prices are based on the number of bedrooms, time of year and holiday weekends. In regards to the fireplace I did inform you ahead of time that they were unusable due to the flues not passing a recent inspection. This is purely from a safety standpoint and is temporary, they are not in disrepair. Thank you for the review, hope you will consider the house again in the future.

Excellent location and Comfy Houes

Fantastic location for access to both Summer and Winter activities at Okemo Mountain in Ludlow, VT. This house is perfect for both families and friends who are looking to get away from it all. From picturesque 'woodsy' views from every window in the house its 2min drive to the base of Okemo, this house has it all. Owners were a pleasure in all communications and house amenities were just what we needed from Firewood to Snow plowing to the Check-in process. Bedrooms were extremely comfortable and private and the extra 'kitchen/lv' combo downstairs is a bonus for those wanting to give their younger visitors a 'separate' place to hang-out. Thank you Kara for a great Winter!

Amazing experience - 5 star home and stay!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay this past holiday weekend. The home is cozy and large, fully equipped with anything and everything one could need! Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of lines, games, etc! Tons of storage room and plenty of room for 10 adults. The main living room adjacent to the kitchen allows for a great time with family and friends. Walkable to the mountain and all that Ludlow has to offer. We will definitely be requesting to come again! Well manicured grounds as well and would be beautiful year round. Thanks to our hosts for having everything so well prepared, available, and being communicative! Highly recommend.
