Ludlow, Vermont
This is the perfect location for a fabulous summer or fall vacation (winter's amazing, too!) Wake up to the peaceful beauty of the lake, then spend your day swimming, fishing or kayaking right from the dock, with 300' of waterfront.
If you love to cook, the kitchen is well appointed so you can whip up something wonderful. Otherwise, eat at one of the fabulous restaurants downtown or just grab a pizza! Play games, watch movies or roast marshmallows over the firepit...All the simple pleasures!
My slogan is "keep it simple". When you arrive, beds are made with crisp, clean linens and fresh towels are stacked in the bathroom. (In the winter, each bed also has a big, fluffy comforter.) Just show up! My house fairies will be sure everything is neat and clean when you arrive and after you leave. No fuss. No stress. I want you to relax and enjoy!
This spacious lakefront cottage has everything you need to create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. With 3 floors of living space, there is plenty of room for everyone to have privacy, but then gather together for meals or to share stories of the day's adventures. And for couples or smaller families who don't need or want the sprawl, everything you need is right on the main living floor, giving it that comfortable, cozy cottage feel.
Fresh bath and bed linens are provided for each guest and beds have new, comfortable mattresses and pillows. The kitchen has a microwave and dishwasher and K-cup coffee maker. There is also a washer and dryer available if you need it.
In the summer, the 1+ acre yard with horseshoe pits, volleyball net, huge deck & 2 fire pits make entertaining a breeze! Swim, kayak and fish right off the new dock in the deep, clear water.
The large deck has an umbrella table and chairs and a Weber gas grill. Stairs off one side lead to a side yard with a shed that holds the yard and water toys, extra chairs, etc. The large fire pit is also on that side, with views of the lake. Stairs off the other side lead to the larger yard where you'll find the horseshoe pits, volley ball net and a wide path gently sloping down to the waterfront. There's a brand new dock and two kayaks - one double and one single - as well as a canoe. Paddles and life preservers are in the shed.
Lake Pauline is peaceful and quiet, but Lake Rescue is directly behind us and allows power boats. The boat ramp is 1/2 mile down the road. The best of both worlds!!
In the winter, ice skate, snowmobile (VAST trails) or snowshoe right from the front door. Okemo is 5 minutes (Jackson Gore is even less!), Killington is 25 minutes and Pico is about 30 minutes away. In the evening, gather for a meal, games or a movie. A large, see through fireplace adds warmth and charm to both living room and kitchen/dining room!
In the fall, grab a blanket and a cup of coffee and head out to the Adirondack chairs to watch the mist rise off the lake and listen to the geese fly overhead.
The main floor has a bedroom with double bed and a bedroom with a twin. The bathroom on this floor is very large and has a bath tub (there are also safety rails in this bathroom by tub and toilet, if you have guests who need some extra support).
Upstairs is the master bedroom suite with king bed and small full bath. A second bedroom has a queen bed and two twins. Both bedrooms have skylights and French balconies.
The lower level suite has an additional living area and full bath. There is a couch, TV and stereo and a second room with a daybed with trundle and large game table. (Note: Since this area does not have proper egress, it cannot be used as a bedroom.)
Buttermilk Falls is a popular swimming and picnic spot throughout the summer and fall. Deep, cool pools are at the base of each of 3 sets of falls, cascading down through the woods. They are only 2 miles away and can be reached by car or bike.
The town of Ludlow has a variety of interesting shops, great restaurants and you can't beat the Jackson Gore Adventure Park when the kids need some excitement. They also hold a free concert every Friday night in the summer that is always fun!
I love my 'cottage' and this area and feel so fortunate to have such a beautiful, spacious spot on the lake. I am happy to share it with others who are looking to refresh, reconnect & renew. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
This is a cozy yet spacious cabin. The cabin is on a lake and has a beautiful view. It was clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable. It’s truly 5 minutes from Okemo Mountain. We’d love to come back next year.
Very pretty. Lots of space. All the amenities in place. So fine.
We wish we could have stayed the entire week but the floods knocked out the entire area and we felt it best to head out. Bernie was excellent with communication and refunded us for the portion we had to leave. Recommended for families.
We enjoyed our week very much. Bernie and Team are terrific hosts!
Enjoyed a wonderful stay at this house. Gorgeous views….comfortable beds…charming house….very well supplied with everything you need! We loved our long weekend here. Well shall return!!
The stay was excellent! The description exceeded its expectations and our host was very responsive. Would highly recommend to any wanting to visit Ludlow/Okemo!
Beautiful house on a small lake. Very well located for skiing at Jackson Gore. Very nice laid out with everything you need to have a great time with family and friends. The communication with the host was very smooth and easy. Thank you for hosting us, Bernie! We will come back
The location was convenient and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay! We loved the view of Lake Pauline from the living room and the double sided fireplace that created the perfect evening environment. Plenty of space for our family to spread out and relax!
This house was perfect for our long weekend get away. We loved the double sided fireplace. We cooked all of our meals at the house, and were so surprised at how well equipped the kitchen is. Beds were very comfy, Ave there was plenty of room for everyone. We’d definitely stay here again!
The view of the fall foliage from the large back deck and the dock were just gorgeous. The host provided us with kayaks and a canoe and corn hole and horseshoes and plenty of board games and puzzles so we found plenty to do right at the house. But there is also a lot to do in the area with hiking trails, chair lift rides, shopping, apple picking, fall festivals, etc. Great time was had by all!
Charming, well-loved lakeside cottage with rustic log cabin vibes. Idyllic location on a quiet lake, easy driving distance to Ludlow. Communication was a breeze, Bernie was very accommodating, and the house had everything we needed for a peaceful stay. Expansive deck with gorgeous views. And the pups could come too! I’ll miss my lazy naps in the small wood bedroom downstairs!
My family had treasured time in this special spot on a quiet back road overlooking Lake Pauline. There were 6 adults and it was a generous space for us. The layout allowed us to be together or take part in different activities. As many have said, the kitchen is very well equipped so we decided to cook all our meals there. Sitting on the deck overlooking the lake was a pleasure any time of day. The trees shield it from the hot sun. The lake is very clean. There is a ladder from the dock to be able to get in easily (the shore is rocky). We had lots of fun in the kayaks and canoe.
Loved everything about this fantastic Ludlow Vermont home. It is situated on a quiet spot on the lake with easy access and amazing views. It was such a treat to be able to ski and enjoy lake views. Home was very welcoming with holiday decorations and an invitation to add more ornaments to the tree. Bernie is a great communicator and outstanding to work with. Can't wait to go back.
Thank you again for another lovely stay!
The perfect week at the perfect house on Lake Pauline. We had planned to take several day trips since there is so much to do in the area but ended spending most of our time on the beautiful deck overlooking the lake, down on the dock, or at the firepit. Such a relaxing and serene location. Great place to spend quality time with your family...thank you Bernie!
This house had absolutely everything!!! Such a wonderful space that was well thought out and taken care of!!! We can’t wait to stay here again!!!
This home was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Our 2 boys 17 and 12 enjoyed the fishing, kayaking. Peaceful spot, can’t wait to book again in the future! Exactly what our family needed!
