LIGHT FILLED MOUNTAIN RETREAT CLOSE TO KILLINGTON AND OKEMO

We spent a wonderful week at this house between Christmas and New Years and hated to drive away. This house is perfectly situated along a secluded country road with beautiful views of the mountains and countryside. We had close to 2 feet of snow over the time we were there and it was a winter wonderland. It is hard to expand on the other great reviews of this house without sounding repetitive. Can't say it better than Rob from Connecticut. The house and location just provide the perfect representation of that quintessential stay in rural Vermont in the winter. We have stayed at a number of VRBO rentals over the years and this place was better "equipped" than any of the others. We found that we enjoyed eating at the house more than going to some of the wonderful restaurants where we had planned to dine. The owner was very accommodating, responsive and enjoyable to work with. It is always nice to find a place that exceeds your expectations and makes you want to return year after year. Can't wait to get back.

To return after a day’s skiing, gaze across a mountain vista, light the fire and cozy in for a home cooked evening meal knowing that you can do it all again tomorrow – bliss.

This beautiful, immaculate house has a very homely feel to it. The large windows afford fantastic views across the mountains and there is a wonderful feeling of space throughout. The view of the night sky from the outdoor firepit was fantastically clear and sledding down the hill from here was fast and fun.

Direct access to the inside through the two car garage is a definite plus, likewise having dry, warm gear for the next day, courtesy of the drying room. The kitchen is very well equipped with a large array of cooking utensils plus an extensive range of spices on offer, so you don’t end up having to buy them. We found plenty of novel and interesting games to play in the evenings sat around the fire, including the classics like scrabble.

The owners have set this house up with great attention to detail - for instance, the digital outside temperature gauge allowed us each morning to get a good idea of the likely conditions on the resort slopes, as they are at roughly the same elevation. The twenty minute ride to the lifts offers fantastic views, and the choice of skiing is excellent. If you don’t know the area, head for Killington for more challenging runs, and Okemo for long, rolling blues, where access via Jackson Gore is the more civilised approach.

Overall, we could find nothing much to fault about this home nestled in the hills - it is everything the description implies. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable location at a very reasonable price, but still within easy reach of some great skiing and restaurants. And if
we had to recommend one, it would be the restaurant at the Simon Pearce Pottery just outside Woodstock.

We stayed over the thanksgiving holiday. What an amazing view! The house is very clean and has been very well thought out with all you need to relax. To sit in front of such a beautiful fireplace and relax with my family was priceless. The decor is very welcoming and relaxing. The location is nice and secluded away from any disturbances and the silence with the view is absolutely breath taking! All the beds and couches were very comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. The kitchen was very well stocked with a wide range of cooking utensils making our thanksgiving dinner perfect and easy to prepare. The collection of movies, music and games were perfect of which my family made full use of during our stay. Jill is great and really knows how to make things right! Thank you for everything!

P.S. we mean it when we say the BEST OF VERMONT!!!!
