Perfect Family Getaway (AGAIN!)

This property is conveniently located just a short drive away from Okemo mountain and Ludlow center. This is our second time staying at this property this year and we would absolutely look to stay again next year. Wonderful home for families with teens who like to have their own space. The decor makes this spacious home very warm and cozy.

Amazing Summer Weekend!!

Our large group (10) had comfortable accommodation, and enjoyed the lake and kayaks! The house was beautiful (and had tasteful choice in poster). There is plenty of entertainment to enjoy the summer in Vermont, including Mt Killington and some amazing local restaurants.

Family Trip

Property had a great location, we loved the lake access. The home was spacious and well stocked with everything except towels. I did not recall the listing saying we had to bring our own towels as that is unusual for VRBO rentals. Luckily we had family in town that let us borrow as there are not any options to buy towels close by. Everything else about the house was great and the owners were easy to communicate with.

We loved our stay!

We enjoyed our long weekend spent at Maria's. The house was easily able to accommodate our group of 10 and we really enjoyed the amenities: fire pit, front and back porch, lake access. The entire check-in and check-out process was extremely smooth and Maria was responsive throughout the experience. I would highly recommend staying at Maria's!

Wonderful rental!

House was perfect for our group of 11. Super close (6 minutes) to Jackson Gore which is where we always start our ski days. The owner was very responsive and replied within minutes to our texts. If we have the same group size next year, we’ll definitely be back! 😊

Kitchen was well-equipped and the dock-deck was fabulous.

Little Chief was a super place to stay with the family. The kitchen was well equipped to make big meals; loaded with pots and pans, blender, dishes, you name it they had it. The dock and deck were wonderful- new, clean, safe and relaxing. What a splendid stay! Would recommend this place to others!
