We cannot say enough good things about the Otto. The condo is very comfortable, well appointed, and spacious. The location is beyond ideal. You walk 10 steps and are on the trails. Our kids slept on the sleeper sofa and we slept in the bedroom. It was a great size for us and we look forward to returning.

About the host
Hosted by Mister Basquali
I am originally from Sydney, Australia and my wife Michelle is from Washington DC. We have been happily together for 16 years and hosting for over 13 of them, having come from film, television, fashion, advertising and the restaurant industries. My loves include; ocean swimming, skiing, cooking, playing records, my wife, and hiking with our dog Cowboy Mars. I am prone to bouts of tremendous stupidity but thanks to my kind, loving, and generous mother, I have a good heart which serves me and hopefully others well.
Why they chose this property
Okemo is a very special place. We discovered it during the pandemic, having been in Brooklyn and Manhattan for over 20 years. Nothing beats waking up, making a nice latte then putting your boots on and skiing down to the lift. It has turned me into a ski bum . The obvious aside, the people are really nice. Vermonters are lovely.
What makes this property unique
The Otto is uniquely distinct insofar as it is discreetly secluded, quiet and private, whilst being only steps from the ski trail. Nestled in the woods with glorious morning views , you feel a million miles away when the reality is the resort is at your doorstep. Location aside, there is a popular saying in Australia that goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!” When viewed through the inebriated lens of interior design perspective, The Otto has more personality than People magazine and while he may not be the Worlds most sexiest man alive, he sure as heck does have a nice, cute, and dare might I say, deliciously pretty butt!!
