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.

    We chose this house for the convenient location to skiing at Okemo, but everything about the house was just wonderful. The host, Bernie, called me a few days before our arrival just to introduce herself and make sure we had her contact info in case we had questions. The house itself couldn't have been more perfect for us: we have a couple, two separate adults and two kids, and there were ample sleeping options for everyone. The kitchen is fully appointed and the large living room with two-sided firelplace (the other side is in the kitchen/dining area) was so welcoming and comfortable. Easy to drive up and park, bring in groceries & ski equipment. A large table so everyone can eat together. New washing machines and everything clean and well kept. And the view! The house is on a small lake, covered in snow in January but that gave us the opportunity to watch a bald eagle alight on the ice to go fishing through a hole. It's a magical place and we are already looking forward to coming back next year. Thank you Bernie!

    Very cozy. Kitchen was stacked with everything a family needed. Especially enjoyed the central two-sided fireplace. Usually the photos of the interior on vrbo website make the rooms look bigger than they are. Not with this property: I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of room we had in the common are (kitchen, dining, living room).

    House was exactly as advertised. We have been visiting Lake Rescue for 20 years and we enjoyed having access to both Lake Pauline and Rescue. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and grill at home and beds were comfortable. It was a hot week so we appreciated the fans given no AC. Homeowner was very responsive.

    This was one of the best vacations we have experienced. We were 6 adults (Mom, Dad, adult children with friends, two senior pups). The house is beautiful and just as described in the listing. It is roomy and has all the conveniences needed. Most importantly, the dock is right there below the house. There are kayaks, a paddle board, a canoe, floating tubes. We spent part of practically every day on the water. The lake is serene and quiet and clean. We even fished a bit (licensed up - few keepers, but what fun!). The surrounding property is beautiful. We barbecued and dined on the huge deck, s'mores over the fire pit. Ludlow is close by and has some interesting shops. There is a nice farmer's market on Sunday mornings. Nearby Buttermilk Falls is beautiful - bring water shoes!We had a lovely, lovely time and hope to return.

    We enjoyed our stay here for several days of skiing at Okemo. It is a 7 minute drive to Jackson Gore base, which has easy parking and is the location for ski school during the week, so it was super convenient. The lake is very scenic and the view is lovely even during the winter. The house is cozy and well-equipped, with plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, cookware, games, etc. Bernie was easy to communicate with.
