Our Contemporary Ski House is less than 4 miles from Okemo Mountain Resort. It is situated on 10 private acres in the South Hill section of Ludlow, VT with lovely views of Okemo Mountain.
Before we built our house we rented a lot of others and this is what we learned from them:
There's a large mudroom for skis, boots, boards and coats. Please leave your shoes here - it keeps the rest of the floors clean and dry!
The kitchen is large and open to the family room with a big island. It is well-stocked with everything from cookie sheets to cork screws. There are filters for the drip coffee maker, the spice cabinet is equipped with most anything you'll need to make a great meal.
The family room has a wood stove, xFinity TV and lots of seating (don't you hate those houses that sleep 12 but only seat 3?). We've even got a mitten and hat warmer (dryer) on the hearth next to the wood stove.
There are 3 full baths with plenty of hot water (we've never run out), so no one has to wait to take a shower after a long day of skiing / boarding / sledding.
There are 4 bedrooms (3 have queen size beds, 1 has two combo futon / bunk beds) and there's also a sleeping loft with 2 double futons and 3 twin platform beds complete with lots of blankets and pillows. Linen service (sheets, pillow cases and towels) is available for an extra fee or you can bring your own and save $.
There's a large driveway that can handle 5 cars without the need to jockey them around when someone needs to get out.
There's DRY firewood stacked inside on a rack in the mudroom along with buckets of kindling and more in a shed and racks outside next to the driveway.

Absolutely perfect! Clean, beautiful house with well stocked kitchen, cozy wood stove, comfortable beds, plenty of blankets and pillows, and amazing hot tub. Bob was readily available and helpful. Driveway was even plowed after snow! Can’t wait to stay again!!!
Great property for large groups with plenty of space and amenities for everyone. Excellent communication from owner to ensure a perfect stay before, during and after.
The property location was perfect. Towards the top of a mountain afforded spectacular sunsets and cool nights. The communication between us and the property owner was great. They were quick to answer questions and extremely thorough with their responses. I would highly highly recommend this property
Amazing property/host. Plenty of room for everyone, comfortable and anything you might need for cooking/baking available. many games to keep you busy while at the property. The area is beautiful with plenty of sightseeing, hiking, restaurants and shopping! The just north as amazing and communicated before during and after!
The property is very spacious and the sleeping arrangements are great. The wood stove heats the main room very well and the view of the mountain is really nice to have!
House was beautiful. Everyone enjoyed it. Host was very helpful and communicated very well. We're going to book our return next year, only issue was hot water ran out quickly affecting kids evening showers.
We had a great time staying at the chalet, we had plenty of room and had everything we needed in the kitchen, the hot tub was also great. Bob is a great host and checked in with us several times. Thank you!!
My family and close friends got together for the second year here. We enjoyed it so much last year we extended our stay this year. We had the same magnificent experience this year. We enjoy making family style meals in the big open kitchen. Plenty of space for all of us to lounge around. We always make sure to use the hot tub while we're there. They did some nice updates since we were there last year. The new shower head in the downstairs bathroom is great! We'll be making this an annual family trip. Area is amazing and the chalet is perfect.
Wonderful spacious property with all the coziness of home tucked up into the mountain. Only 7 minutes from town amenities, coffee, gas, groceries etc. Perfect set up for our group to gather for games and meals etc. Host is very kind and replies quickly.
We love everything about this property! It’s a great location and comes fully equipped with everything you could think of. Communication with the owner is exceptional and extremely timely and detailed. He goes above and beyond every single time. We can’t wait to come back!
We love staying here! It’s the perfect set up and layout for our extended family who range in age from 10 to 55. The owner goes over and above regarding preparation and communication. Always accommodating and helpful. The house itself is always clean and has all the amenities you could ever need. Thanks for a wonderful and memorable stay! We cannot wait to return!
We had a wonderful stay here for a January ski trip. Chalet has everything you need (stocked kitchen, plenty of fridge space, big areas to enjoy company, areas to entertain children). The wood stove and hot tub were perfect after a long day of skiing. I can't say enough good things about the owners. Bob was extremely responsive leading up to and during our stay. We look forward to staying here again!

Amazing!
I stayed at the house for NYE weekend with a few other couples and we had the absolute best time! The house was amazing, the view of the mountain was incredible and overall we just loved the place! The drive to Okemo mountain and into town was one quick road away too! Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation away!
Very spacious house for a big family. Great place to make wonderful memories. Great location for privacy and right next to the mountain. Awesome communication with Bob! Definitely going back in the future.
This Aframe was in the perfect location for us to visit everyplace we had on our list! Close to town, shopping, and nature. The cabin was spacious and well appointed. Loved the porch and the game room in the basement. I appreciated being able to bring our dog with us on vacation. Bob was genuinely responsive and made the stay amazing. Would recommend!
Bob is an excellent communicator for his large, well equipped property. There were just 2 of us but this place is set up for family fun. Everything you could need for a fun vacation is right there. Bob is a great host who clearly cares for this big, bright home.
Secluded, clean, well-provisioned…exactly what we expected. The host, Bob, was extremely responsive to any/all requests, questions and certainly went above and beyond when we had a crazy storm knocked out the power. Would highly recommend.
This fantastic house is roomy, comfortable and welcoming. It had everything we needed. Three families could stay with children and not be crowded, although we were all adults and had only up to 10 at any given moment. The hot tub was lovely and the surrounding property just beautiful. A warning about the dirt road might be a good idea for us city folks though, lol. Loved it and already figuring out when we can come back!
Beautiful spacious home, lots of wooded land to explore, hot tub and wood stove to warm up afterwards, plus Bob is amazingly organized and helpful - the whole experience was above and beyond our expectations! Great for our kids (ages 8 and 4) and I would imagine for kids of any age.
