The River House was just perfect for our large group's annual ski trip!! The location was fantastic - the house is literally a hop, skip and a jump away from the Clocktower Base of Okemo mountain (3 minute car ride)! And because the house is right in town, getting to restaurants, bars, or convenience stores was a piece of cake. There is also Totem Pole Ski Shop right down the road , so you can rent skis for cheaper than you would pay on the mountain.
As far as the house itself, the common areas had a ton of space and seating available for everyone, which was a huge plus for the older members of our group. There are two TV's in the saloon, so you can watch two shows/sports events at once, all while playing shuffleboard or arcade games!! The house's SONOS system is fantastic and a breeze to work - and I loved that there was a speaker by the outdoor hot tub too!!
The bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms, and hot tub are all updated and were clean and tidy upon our arrival. The layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms ensures that everyone has access to a full bath on their level - another huge plus for the older members of our group. The loft was a great place for the kids to hang out and sleep.
Lastly, Amy (the owner) was fantastic to work with. She was really helpful in making recommendations about restaurants and what to bring with us for our trip. Every step of the process was made easier by having Amy as my guide. If we come back to Okemo to ski again, we will definitely be staying in the River House (or one of Amy's other rentals) again!
