I have rented through VRBO many times before and this was one of the easiest rentals ever. The property was everything they said it was and the owner very helpful and cordial. The hot tub was on and warm when we arrived and everything was clean and in order. We rented the house to celebrate my 50th Birthday with many friends in the area. The layout was perfect and accomodated everyone very well. We held most of the festiviities on back lawn that was more than spacious enough and afforded everyone a great view. I would definetly rent from this owner again and highly recommend it to families with lots of kids and friends. The only thing we missed was air conditioning. There were a few times when it was a little warm with the sun coming through the windows. We had great times at Buttermilk Falls and riding the mountain coaster. I would recommend the Irish Pub for comfort food and the Pot Belly Pub for casual dining as well. You have to try the "Black Rock" steak at Cool Moose Cafe. They bring you a seared steak that is raw in the middle and serve it on a 900 degree rock so you can cook it to your favorite temperature right at the table. It was fun but DON'T TOUCH THE ROCK!!!! Take it from me, it is HOT! If you go to Okemo, rent this house. You will not be disappointed.

This house was absolutely fantastic! We rented the house to celebrate a “big” birthday and to bring the family together, and everything was perfect. The house common areas were large enough to fit a big crowd without everyone stepping on each other. The kooks and crannies allowed people to have their own space from time to time to either retire or for quiet conversations. This combined with the extras of the foosball table and pool table gave this family much entertainment, (and this is great with a competitive family.) The fire place was great, warm and inviting and the house was relaxing. The views are terrific and its location is great. It gives you a view of the mountain with a great view of the pond and surrounding area. The younger generation used the hot tub and found it relaxing and fun. The most important part of the family get together is meals. The long table allowed for all 20 of us to sit at the table and break bread. The kitchen is easy to work in and out of the way of the living area giving the family chef “Uncle Buck” and his sous chef “the designer” to put together great meals with much fun. The house is close to the mountain, close to shopping and town. This house is spectacular. Anyone who is looking for a place to stay that has plenty of room and that is warm and inviting … this is the place.

My family loves to vacation and this was our first to Vermont. Vermont is breath taking. The fall season was so nice now we want to visit in the summer and winter. Owners were very helpful since it was our first visit they guided us to all the area has to offer. The house is new,comfortable,fabulously decorated,clean ETC ETC.. This place has very thing a resort should have including the view from the back deck.We will be back.

I can not think of one part of this house that was not well-thought out! The well-equipped kitchen has a dining table that easily fit our 2 large families comfortably, not to mention the gorgeous view we had while eating. The view of the mountains, meadow and pond from inside the huge great room made it hard to leave the house during the day. This is probably the nicest mountain home I've ever rented. The house is incredibly well outfitted and maintained with the added entertainment of a pool table and foos ball table for both kids and adults. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again. In addition, the owner was extremely helpful throughout our stay and very easy to work with.

Spent a week at this great house and I called the owner to compliment the house. When the owner asked me to write a review, I was more then happy. Location for a summer family vacation is great. We had three families and there was more than enough space to separate the kids and adults. Field and pond behind the house were great with the kids and grand kids. Kitchen was more than enough for two grandmothers and two daughter in-laws to get along.

Ideal For Our Mini Family Reunion

This spacious but cozy house was ideal for our mini family reunion. The children absolutely loved the 4 sturdy bunk beds in what they dubbed their Bunk Room and the teenagers camped out in the lower apt. w/ TV. The adults were more than happy in their 3 comfortable bedrooms - especially the lucky couple who drew the top floor master king BR and its spa-like adjoining master bathroom w/ jacuzzi tub. We all eventually congregate on the main floor - the large fireplace naturally draws everyone into the cavernous living room lounging in oversized sofas and loveseats. A pool table and foos ball table as well as a flat screen tv provided plenty of entertainment for everyone. Outside the living room is a beautiful deck with a huge hot tub and industrial grade barbeque grill. From the deck and inside the living room, the views of the mountains are breathtaking. Our favorite feature of this house though, is the dining area with enormous dining table for 20 - our 14-month old presided at the head of the table. The open kitchen makes dinner time easy to manage as there is plenty of room for all the chefs and kitchen helpers to scurry around. We'll be baahck!

Family members were able to take time off for long weekend and we found this great house. Young kids had big back yard to run around and sports fans were equally satisfied with big screen tv. Fireplace, foosball and pool table, outdoor hot tub (with outdoor speakers) kept everyone entertained in spacious great room and beyond. Owner was very helpful with giving suggestions on hiking, shopping, and dining destinations - more than we were able to cover.

My kids did an impromptu family get-together for 4-days. Nice weather gave us great view of foliage around lake and field as backdrop beyond deck with outdoor hot tub. My grand daughter loved the great room, plenty of space for her to run around. Large grassy backyard and nearby rec area was also a big hit with grand kid. We're planning to come back with more members of the clan.

House was absolutely everything we had hoped it would be and more. The perfect place to kick back and enjoy family after a few runs - thank you! And waking up to that view in the morning was amazing - it was hard to leave! From sledding, ice skating, hiking, billiards, foosball, the hot tub, Okemo mtn. 3 minutes away, a great room that easily accommodates 15 people and a pleasant and efficient owner - what more do you need?

Spacious, beautiful house and great private hot tub with view of hills and lake in back of yard. Modern new kitchen with everything we needed, big screen tv/entertainment and pool table and foosball tables kept everyone amused indoors. We're coming back next year.

Between the size and decor of the house, the amenities it offered and its locale to town and the slopes, we truly felt we had it all. (Except for maybe a treadmill for a rainy day or for those who don't ski.) For the skiers, the slopes were close enough to make a drop off if they happened to miss the shuttle that runs right in front of the house. For the non-skiers in the house, there was a great view to enjoy as we sat in the hot tub and we also took advantage of walking around the mountain and into the shops in town. The kids loved hanging out in the bunk room as much as we enjoyed sitting around the fire in the great room. Our family will be definitely making a return visit!

lots of space, great for two or more families, convenient to Okemo and Ludlow, rooms were well appointed, Hot tub was nice though it took a full day to warm up, the kitchen was equiped well enough to make meals for our party of 15. Everything we needed for our stay was in the house. I would rent this house again. It would be nice if there was a better house manual detailing what to do with the garbage, where to find the firewood, what towels to use for the hot tub, just little things like that. At the same time, the owner was helpful and very easy to deal with. Renting this house is really a no brainer, especially if you have 15 or more people. There really is a ton of space.

My family and I stayed for week in this astonishing custom home. From the comforting bedrooms to the lavish living room to the huge hot tub, this house has it all. And with only a minor walk to the slopes them selves you can enjoy one of the best mountains in all of Vermont. The entire family enjoyed the park in the back yard as well as the prestine lake. If you are a thrill seeker looking for a fun getaway or a group who is into relaxing and enjoying a beautiful starry night, this is the vacation home of your and my dreams.

Surprised Mom and some friends with stay at this property and they didn't realize we had the entire house. More room than our party of 4 could ever need. Well-decorated bedrooms with nice themes in colors and Adirondack decor, great modern kitchen. Pool and foosball tables were a big hit. Nice weather in October let us hike around lake next to property, walked around town, and had great views from the hike at the mountain. Electronics were well beyond my understanding so some instructions would have been helpful. Contest to see how many different seats we could sit in during weekend (not counting each of 10+ dining chairs).
