Cozy 4-season COTTAGE—Summer/Fall, weekends or weeks; WINTER, ski season only

See below for our Seasonal Booking Policy (deep discounts for full winter season)

A cozy 4-season Vermont mountain cottage -- ski, swim, hike, foliage -- Family Fun or Romantic Getaway. One mile to picturesque Belmont Village and Star Lake, and 6 miles to Okemo Ski Resort. A private location with a deck overlooking Star Lake, meadows and mountain vistas (with a 75 mile view!).

Sleeps 2 to 6...... 2 for a romantic get-away, or up to 6 for family and friends:
2 bedrooms [Queen; Double; and Queen Sleep Sofa in living room], 2 baths, living room with woodstove, FREE long distance calls within US and Canada, High Speed Internet, cableTV with Roku; dining area; fully equipped kitchen including dishwasher, microwave; laundry with washer/dryer. A beautiful mountain get-away, yet close to skiing and other activities.

We are in the heart of the Green Mountains between Killington and Stratton/Bromley. We have beautiful (spectacular!!) views off to the west and northwest (great sunsets). Our cottage sits on a hill surrounded by stately maples and open pastures. It sits at 2100 feet above sea level and overlooks a lake with a 75 mile view across the mountains of Vermont and into New York State (we see the highest mountain in NY). The cottage is surrounded by 100 acres of our land, and hundreds more acres of friends, family and the State of Vermont. We have our own trail network for hiking, snowshoeing and xc skiing, and there's lots of other hiking all around the town and local area.

Although private, our cottage is in the heart of the Vermont ski and tourist area so there are lots of restaurants, shops, and activities within 5 to 10 miles

Summer & Fall: Peaceful hide-away; nearby mountain lakes - swim, fish, boat rentals. Central to sightseeing, golf, tennis, horseback riding, hiking, biking; near historic Weston Playhouse and Weston Priory. Surrounded by Vermont forests and autumn foliage.

The perfect getaway!

This property is a little slice of heaven if you’re coming for some peace and quiet. The town of Ludlow has a great main street with restaurants and shops and it’s only a 15 minute ride to town. The property was just beautiful. We took our dog and she was so happy with all of the open space. The house was comfortable and warm as the weather got colder. Great stay.

Vermont Retreat!

This two bedroom two bathroom property was so nice for us as we traveled with another couple. It sits on a huge lot in beautiful Vermont. There are no neighbors in sight, but the little town of Belmont is nearby and the bigger town of Ludlow is not far away. It is positioned right off of route 100 which was a great road to discover waterfalls and historic sites and coffee shops and book shops and to see the beautiful colors of autumn. We had a great time!

Lovely Cottage

We had such a lovely stay in Ron and Dottie's cottage. Since the photos were taken, the cottage has had a few updates. The sofas have covers, and there is now a smart TV. The internet service was excellent for working remotely for the week. The kitchen is well-equipped for basic cooking. We enjoyed the location and the beautiful views. We look forward to visiting again in the future.

Astounding View

The cottage was so nice with beautiful foliage surrounding it. Very spacious downstairs living area. Everything worked in the house. My only concern was the slightly steep staircase. Our dogs loved the open space to run around in. It was a perfect location for peacefulness and privacy. Loved it!

Quiet and Beautiful

A wonderful place to get away and relax. The deck faces west with a view of the Adirondack Mountains in NY. Sunsets are magnificent. Hardly any traffic noise except for an occasional car driving past on the road, which is barely noticeable as the cottage has significant setback. Ron was helpful and friendly, but not obtrusive. If you are looking for a great place to kick back and relax in a beautiful quiet setting within easy driving distance of Ludlow, this is the place! Hated to go home!

Perfection!

This cottage was absolutely perfect! Our family of 5 stayed for a long weekend of snow boarding. Location is so close to Okemo. The wood stove was the best part of warming up after a cold day on the slopes. The cottage has everything you could need.

Incredible views at cozy cottage

This cottage is exactly as pictured and described. Simple, private, cozy and well equipped. It’s immaculately clean and very comfortable. The host and owner lives so close by he dropped off kindling when we ran out on a snowy night. Can’t beat the location to get to ski trails, Manchester, Ludlow and the Long Trail.

Wonderful spot for writing retreat

A friend and I stayed at this lovely and comfortable cottage to work on writing projects. It was a great setup, with a a bedroom for each of us upstairs and a big, sturdy kitchen table plus two couch and coffee table setups downstairs, so there was plenty of room to space out (both literally and figuratively!) and work. There were lots of outlets for plugging in laptops and charging iPads, and the wifi and cell signals were strong. With windows on all sides, the house is flooded with light, even on gray days, and we found the long views and very private setting inspirational. The house was super clean and the furnishings sturdy. The hosts were very accessible but also unobtrusive. Best of all, we were both very productive! We plan to return.

Wonderful cottage in Southern Vermont!

The cottage was ideally situated in Southern Vermont with close access to skiing, hiking, and the Appalachian Trail. The cottage has a rustic feel, but has all the amenities you want including fast internet, and dishwasher. Even though there are some homes within walking distance, we did not see anyone else, and the cottage feels secluded. Great for a family or friends. Highly recommend!

Fall Break

The rental process was super easy. Ron is an amazing caretaker of this delightful cottage that is located on a beautiful hill side overlooking Star Lake in the distance with panoramic views of mountains. The property is also accessible to many walking trails that are well marked. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Ron was very accessible and gave us great information about the area. We highly recommend and plan on returning in the future.

Awesome Place!

The cottage was perfect for our vacation, and the location was breathtaking for our autumn visit. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and inviting. I was able to take my dog, which was a big plus for me. We enjoyed sitting on the deck taking in the view of the mountains, and there is much to explore in the area. Ron and Dottie are excellent hosts; Ron was very good at communicating with me both at the time of booking and as the date for our trip approached. All in all this was a great vacation in a great place, and I expect to return in the future!

Relaxing Vermont Getaway

This cottage is on a beautiful hillside setting in Belmont, VT. It was easy to find, plenty spacious for two people, and the views are great. A very peaceful spot. The house was spotless and well stocked ( the non-stick skillet is scratched, but we brought our own). It is an older property, and the house and artwork are "well worn", but we truly enjoyed our stay. If you don't want a really firm mattress bring a foam topper. We were there in the fall and the trails behind the house were a bit tricky for hiking, but would be fine for snowshoes. Several hiking spots were within a 10 to 20 minute drive, and downtown Ludlow is charming. We would consider returning for another vacation in the future.

The atmosphere of the cottage made us feel right at home immediately, and I would absolutely recommend any of my friends or family to stay there. Ron was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating throughout our entire visit. I would love to stay there again the next time we visit Vermont. Thank you again, Ron, for an incredible trip with great memories.

Perfect weekend in Belmont/Mount Holly

The property was exactly as advertised, clean, well appointed with all the essentials in the kitchen if you choose to cook. Convenient to Ludlow but far enough away to get away from the hustle of downtown. We hiked the property on the trails that the owner Ron maintains, which was a great warm up for a and our four legged companion before we hiked the Healdville Trail up Okemo Mountain. On Ron’s property there was a mix meadows with wild flowers as far as you could see and more steep land behind the house with snow shoe trails that are a little steeper. Ron greeted us when we arrived and we talked for a while about the craziness of Covid and how it is great to have the world returning to something close to normal. I highly recommend this property and we will be booking additional stays in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Ron Unterman

Host profile image
My wife and I are retired and live full time in Belmont, just down the road from our rental cottage.
Come visit us in our little corner of paradise :)

Why they chose this property

Ron's family began coming to Belmont for summers in 1956 and his parents moved here full-time from New York City in 1970. As a teenager Ron worked on a local farm and the family came up to Belmont for every vacation, all year 'round. Ron and Dottie moved here full-time in 2001 and enjoy all of Vermont's seasons -- You will too :)

What makes this property unique

We are in the heart of the Green Mountains between Killington and Stratton/Bromley, and minutes to Okemo. We have beautiful (spectacular!!) views off to the west and northwest (great sunsets). Our cottage sits on a hill surrounded by stately maples and open pastures. It sits at 2100 feet above sea level and overlooks a lake with a 75 mile view across the mountains of Vermont and into New York State (we see the highest mountain in NY). We are one mile from Star Lake which has a beach and boat access. The cottage is very private being surrounded by 100 acres of our land, and hundreds more acres of friends, family and the State of Vermont. We have our own trail network for hiking, snowshoeing and xc skiing, and there's lots of other hiking all around the town and local area. On our land across the road from the cottage there are four beaver ponds that string along a brook that runs into Star Lake.

..... and we have a moose that visits every now and then [EMAIL us for this picture and many others].

Although private, this house is in the heart of the Vermont ski and tourist area so there are lots of restaurants, shops, and activities within 5 to 10 miles (Mt. Holly, Ludlow, Weston, etc.)
