Camp Amherst: Ski and Lakeside Retreat. Killington/Okemo, Firepit, private dock!
Our newly renovated lakeside "camp" is the perfect place for an active yet relaxing Summer/Fall getaway or a fun-filled Winter retreat! In this area, a "camp" is typically a minimalistic 3-season dwelling, but since its renovation the property is a "camp" no longer! Although it still has a private and secluded vibe, it is anything but minimalistic. The renovations focused on a clean, modern design with particular attention to highlighting the beauty of the lake itself. Numerous windows/sliders on all three floors give breathtaking views of the lake, and during the warmer months you have a private dock for fishing, swimming, kayaking and lounging. As an added bonus, Camp Plymouth State Park is only one mile away and has a beach, playground and water activities. Winter months are just as fabulous, with Killington and Okemo resorts nearly equidistant from the house. If skiing and riding aren't your thing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing are other popular activities that are readily available. Don't forget that a firepit during any season is the perfect night cap!
This is a very special place and we hope you can enjoy it as much as we do! It is a mix of modern luxuries and "camp" vibes of days past. There is something for everyone at the Amherst Ski and Lakeside Retreat!

About the host
Hosted by Jess Glynn
I'm originally from Montana but moved to New England for undergrad/grad school. Having grown up in the mountains, I naturally gravitated to Vermont. It is such a special place that I have fallen in love with! My family and I are happiest when we are surrounded by mountains, lakes, and friendly people. I love being a host because I get to help others experience this truly special place
Why they chose this property
It's directly on the lake, it's serene, and there are two options for skiing/riding within 15 minutes. It's the perfect location!
What makes this property unique
The property is newly renovated and has such an amazing feel. It was designed by my husband, who is a seasoned veteran of custom interior woodworking. The attention to detail cannot be ignored. You will notice his personal touch in everything from the beautiful stairways to the reclaimed wood that is sprinkled throughout the house. He paid special attention to highlighting the beauty of the lake by creating stunning views of Amherst on all three levels of the house.
In addition, just being on the lake, nestled in between the mountains is about the best you can get. After a day on the lake or slopes you can relax around the firepit or just soak in the peaceful sounds of nature. You are absolutely going to fall in love with this property!
