Owner is awesome and house is perfect location and nicely fit our family of 4 plus additional visitors. It’s a great way to have easy access to the mountain but still be able to have a home away from home!
Perfect location and size for a family or group of friends. Very functional and while not total lap of luxury is well appointed and very livable. Loved the pellet stove!
We had a great stay here! Great communication from the start and super easy check in. House was clean and well stocked and in a very quiet area. 5-6 to the mountain and pretty much anything else in town. We would absolutely stay here again to ski Okemo in the future.
We had a great stay at Joe’s place for a ski weekend in Ludlow. The house had plenty of space and everything you need. It was super convenient to Okemo and to all of the great happenings in the Ludlow area. Joe is also a great host. We would absolutely stay here again.
joe was an amazing host. the house was perfect for our family of 6 and a few minutes to okemo mountain, ludlow rec center and the main street for shopping and restraunts. i have zero complaints. kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, cleaning supplies and hand towels. bathroom had plenty of toilet paper and towels. beds were comfy, even the bunkbeds were great. thank you joe!
Everything was great. The instructions were very clear and helpful. The house had everything we needed and the location was close to everything but far enough that it was a nice quiet street.
Enjoyed the location! 7 minutes to Okemo and 10 to Jackson Gore. Super clean house. The owner is very responsive. The game room downstairs is a good addition for the kids.
I stayed here with my family for a few days during winter and it was a great location - very close to downtown Ludlow and maybe 5 minutes to Okemo. The house is clean and accurately depicted. The kitchen is very well stocked! Bed rooms were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets to keep nice and warm.The bunk room is perfect for kids. My kids also loveddd the downstairs ping pong table and while we were there affectionately called the house the 'star' house. They wanted to come back to star house soon.

We appreciate the nice review and would love to have your family back next season!!!!!!!
The host was wonderful, and the house was in a great location. It was spacious and welcoming, with all the amenities you could need, especially in the kitchen. My kids had a blast playing Mario on the TV, and we all enjoyed the foosball table and picnic table in the basement. The connected TVs in the bedroom and living room were a real treat for us (parents). Communication with the host was excellent, and the place was spotless. I would absolutely stay here again!

Pleasure hosting you and your family, thank you for the kind words and would love to have you guys stay again. Have a great rest of the winter-Joe
We enjoyed our three night stay for New Year’s Eve! The house was just the right size for two families with four teens. The living room was cozy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pellet stove was nice at night but it was difficult to start. We appreciated the quick responses to our questions. We would stay here again!
This house was perfect for our family of four. Perfect distance from the mountain, great property for after ski hours and the owner is wonderful and accommodating. We love coming to the mountain and feel very at home here. Thanks Joe!
We love this place! We’ve stayed here numerous times and keep coming back because we love the house! It’s close to the mountain, easy to get to, fits our family comfortably and is perfect for a ski getaway. Joe is very accommodating and we feel at home in the house while enjoying time on the mountain. Thanks for another great stay!
The house was absolutely wonderful! Within minutes from leaving Okema we were able to relax on the cozy couch in front of a fire. Joe was wonderful communicating with us to ensure we had everything we needed. I have to say the house had absolutely everything we needed and more!! Highly recommend this home, close to everything, comfortable with plenty of space. The wi fi and smart tv allowed us to sit back at night and watch movies after skiing all day. Thanks again!!
Joe’s place was great. The location was close and easy. Everything we needed in a place to stay during our extended Okemo weekend was available without issue. Communication was excellent, and check in and out was easy.

Perfect house for a weekend at Okemo!
Joseph's house was very clean and everything was just as described. It was the perfect house for us to meet up another family and ski at Okemo. Two double rooms for couples, and a bunk bed room for all the kids to share!

Great Vacation
Highly recommend the house. Came with my family (2 adults, 3 children). The kids loved the bunk room and exploring outside. House was well stocked with what you would need and very clean. The owner was attentive and answered any questions we had. Very close to town and the ski mountain. Plan on coming back again.

About the host
Hosted by Joe Ruszkowski
Hi! We’re a Vermont-loving family who’s been making memories in Ludlow for years. This cozy mountain town has become our home away from home—a place where we come to slow down, reconnect, and soak up all the beauty each season has to offer. Whether we’re skiing at Okemo in the winter, hiking local trails, swimming at Echo Lake, or grabbing our daughters’ favorite maple creemees in the summer, Ludlow never fails to bring us joy.
We’ve created this vacation home as a place for others to experience that same magic—comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly located for adventure and relaxation. It means so much to us to be able to share this special place with fellow travelers and families looking to create their own unforgettable memories.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
