This snug and cosy home was perfect for our Autumn getaway. The stairs were a bit steep for two seniors over 75, but we managed and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in the area. Because of illness, we had to postpone our visit to Pond House from June to October and because the leaves were so very beautiful this week, we were happy we had to change our plans. Also, how can you beat this view from the living room?

The Pond House
The house was great and well equipped kitchen and linens. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
Photos do not do justice to this very spacious, comfortable home in a beautiful setting of mature woods, meadow, marsh and pond, with a backdrop of a tall hill with Fall color in mid-Sept. Bird life was fantastic, in variety and number. Great Blue Herons were our favorite. Many other waterfowl also visited the pond. White tailed deer, squirrels. #1 favorite was three playful otters. We could not have had a nicer stay in Vermont. Location was exceptional while in The Pond House, and when ready to explore.
This is a beautiful property with beautiful views, lots of indoor and outdoor space for the little ones to play, and for the adults to chill and socialize. Very clean and well kept. We would love to come back and stay here again in the future!
We chose this location for it’s proximity to Okemo (10 minutes) and Killington (25 minutes). So that was perfect. The house is great with the living space on the entry floor and bedrooms on the levels below. The house itself was well fitted out for our group of 6. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was a great week. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Views
This house was exactly what we wanted for a "fall colors" visit to Vermont. We had gorgeous views, comfortable beds and a kitchen that had everything we needed. The location allowed us easy access to many great places to visit - Stowe, Woodstock, Ben & Jerry's etc. The turn off the main road is a doozy, so keep a sharp eye out! Check out was super easy - with so many places adding an onerous list of chores we were really happy with such a reasonable set of requests (take out the trash, start the dishwasher, shut the windows). Communication about the rental was also very good.
Great property ! Secluded quiet location short drive to ski areas.
We had a really nice weekend although a day or so of rain. The house was comfortable and very clean upon arrival ( except for a few cigarette butts on the upper deck… we thought it was a non smoking property).
Decor was cute and we loved the ski theme, bedrooms spacious, great area for teens to hang out downstairs! Mattresses were a little firmer than we prefer … but overall all the amenities we’d expect and a great location!
We would come back for sure !
Beautiful house in a great location. Very close to Okemo mountain and about 30 minutes to Killington. The house was clean and really nice. Our only issue was the basement floor with the bunk beds and fusball table had no heat. We were told there was space heaters. We found two which took many hours to warm the main room in basement. No one could sleep down there. If we brought our kids we wouldn’t have been able to stay. Besides that the house was great.

A peaceful, family-oriented home with lots of good energy
This house was so perfect for our group. We had 3 teenage boys who loved having the downstairs to themselves to play games, watch movies and basically be goofy on their own. The house amenities were thoughtful and everything we needed. It is so peaceful (except when it is filled with laughter and conversation) and the view is spectacular. The house had a really good vibe…and we could tell that it was often filled with good people and well taken care of. It is close to a grocery store and few local restaurants, but we took advantage of the grill and well-equip kitchen. I can imagine this house to be perfect for every season! Check-in and check-out was easy, reasonable and trustful without too many instructions or rules. The inside stairs may be challenging for guests with mobility issues, but it created some great spaces for guests to have their own quiet or social space. The main shower was great and felt good after a day of hiking. The house temperature was spot-on and easy to adjust. Overall, we had some great memory-making and this house helped bring us all together!

Spacious Rental
The house was nice with a great space for the kids. The only pitfall was the cleanliness. Our Check-in was for 4pm, we got there at 5 and the cleaning lady was still there. She didn’t leave till 6. She missed quite a few things while rushing to finish. Also bring your some of your own towels as there were not enough for all the guests. If the owners read this… I would recommend a more thorough cleaning service. More than one person is probably needed.

Great home with beautiful views and excellent location
We were 6 people and loved staying at the Pond House. Would absolutely consider it again. Highly recommend bringing groceries to cook at home, there is limited groceries nearby, but we found we wanted to spend more time the house than go out to eat.
The home is 10 min. from Okemo mountain and downtown Ludlow, which had a few good post-skiing options.
The house itself is gorgeous and perfect. Nice, highly functional fireplace. Smart TVs, was easy to connect to our Amazon Prime and Netflix accounts to watch a late night movie.
The 6 of us were 3 adults and 3 children and we all loved the house. Plenty of bedding and space. Nice library, good foosball table. Comfortable rooms.
Location is amazing. Leaving Okemo at the end of the ski day there was a ton of traffic and the house was perfectly in the other direction.

Great for family’s who ski
We really enjoyed our stay will look to see if available for our next trip.
We had a nice getaway with friends. The cabin was secluded and quiet with a lovely view of mountains and marsh. There was a little trail to hike right out the front door and many more a short drive away. There is a market only 6 miles away so no need to shop before you arrive. The bedrooms are spacious and each has its own bathroom. The only thing I wish I brought was a mattress topper. I like a plush mattress and these are all quite firm.
