Idyllic Lakefront House Suited Two Families

This our second time staying. We love the house and the location. The hostess is very nice and responsive.

Ursula was fantastic. She was very accessible I made 3-4 random calls to hear over the weekend and she picked up very time. She was also quick to respond on text.

We had a wonderful stay! The lake house was perfect for us. Very cozy and lots of space to spread out.

My family loved our stay for our ski vacation to Okemo. This house was spacious and inviting and just 5 minutes from Okemo. We loved that it had a washer and dryer and a fireplace - especially since we arrived during an ice storm and arrived soaking wet after skiing that afternoon! The kitchen had everything we needed, having 2 1/2 baths made getting ready in the morning so much faster and easier, and we had plenty of space to spread out. We would definitely stay again on future ski trips!

Ursula was flexible regarding check in and responsive to our queries. She thoughtfully checked in with us to be sure all was well after an ice storm. We had no problems during our stay. Great location and lovely view of the lake.

Great cozy spot

Lakehouse with a soul. Quiet and quaint with plenty of space for a large family. Lots of activities to do: swimming in the pristine lake, kayaking, campfires, hanging out on the deck with a view on the lake. Very close to a sugarhouse for all your maple creemee needs - you can even kayak up to there! House is well stocked with any necessities: coffee, spices, even condiments and toiletries. Beds and pillows are nice and comfy! We will definitely be coming back!

Little mishap with the cleaning lady but Ursula was quick to respond. The kayaks were great… it’s so peaceful there

Loved our stay here. Beautiful lake views were serene. I'd be willing to come back with my family for a great stay in Vermont!

Great spot on the lake a few miles from Okemo.

The house was very well equipped, enough kitchen supplies, firepit, kayaks, ping pong. We enjoyed the quiet location on the lake. The only negative is that the house needs a deep clean. The windows are filthy and there are webs on the ceiling. But the essentials were clean.

My granddaughter, husband and infant daughter stayed in the cottage. They like it very much, and we would like to rent it for the same time period in 2026.

It is indeed idyllic. Mostly very quiet, beautiful view from the deck. Well stocked kitchen. A bonus was the hummingbird feeder, which we filled and got rewarded with 3 regular visitors! A truly lovely spot!

House and grounds were well maintained.

This was a great rental for our family. Lots to do nearby but the lake is where we spent most of our time - paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing. The swimming from the dock was not ideal but when we hopped on our paddle board it was very nice to swim in the central part the lake. Creemees at the sugar house were very good; also really enjoyed buttermilk falls and okemo.

We had a great time. The house is very comfortable, but dated. We had a wonderful time in the water. However, the area directly in front of the property was so filled with leaves and muck, it was hard to enjoy it, until you were further out in the water. For this reason, i would not recommend it for young children.

Check in was pretty simple. Cottage was nice. Only issues were was that it wasn’t cleaned prior to our arrival due to cleaning lady having an emergency. We found out after the fact and owner refunded the cleaning fee. Other issue was there was supposed to be a dinghy boat which wasn’t there when I arrived. Fishing was good in this lake and the canoes and kayaks were fun. Don’t plan to swim from the property as it’s shallow in the general area and the bottom is mushy. Overall it was a great place

We spent 11 nights at the house, everything was great.

This was our third trip back to this house, so needless to say we enjoy staying set the property. It has enough rooms and beds to fit us and our extended family comfortably, has everything we want and need (multiple bathrooms, a fil kitchen,) plus there's the bonus of a working fireplace. The location can't be beat. Right on the lake, about 7 minutes from the Jackson Gore base area, and Erin walking distance to the dust house. We love it.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake house. We had great views of the lake and the kitchen was very well stocked. The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean and nicely decorated. Thank you for the incredible stay and we will be staying again!

All that we needed and wanted was at this location! Comfortable, warm, cozy and well stocked. Close to skiing, hiking, restaurants and more. Lots of windows with a view of a lake. What more could we ask for? We felt right at home…

Enjoyed our stay. 5 minute drive to Jackson gore base made it nice to go back and forth with kids. Ursula was very attentive and did her best to make sure everything was in good order.

I was shocked by my experience during this stay. I am a frequent VRBO guest and I have never had a host treat me so terribly. Do not become a VRBO host if you are not going to be available by phone, through messaging or when VRBO tries to contact you multiple times. We messaged, called and had VRBO call 7 times to address a lock issue. I was genuinely worried that something terrible had happened to the host because she was so unresponsive for days. She had wonderful reviews prior to my stay so I was really quite worried. We had to leave the house unlocked during our stay as we could not remedy the lock situation. When we did get a hold of her three days into our 4 night stay, we told her we were unable to open the lock box. She stated that she knew there were problems with the lock box for over a month but did not do anything to fix the issue. She asked us to try to fix the lock by replacing the batteries. We tried but were unsuccessful. It appeared it needed a locksmith. She became frustrated at us because we could not fix the lock. Due to lack of communication and the lock issue, VRBO suggested we ask for money back for a portion of our stay. When VRBO asked for a credit on our behalf, the owner made up lies about us leaving a wet mattress, called us idiots, and hung up on VRBO. She did not know I was also on the phone at the time. It was an awful experience.

Our stay was wonderful, and the hosts were more than accomadating! Lovely home and very convenient to Ludlow and Okemo.

The lake house is lovely with direct access to the lake. The water was pleasantly warm for the time of the year. We loved the house and the environment. We will surelt return.

Beautiful lake, kayaking, backyard firepit, hiking , such a fun area with a lot to explore.nearby,

The house was very comfortable for 6 adults and 4 children. The Ludlow area was a lot of fun. My grandchildren enjoyed the lake swimming and boating. The owner was very helpful with any questions we had. Also would be a great area for winter activities with Okemo being so close. If we ever get back to skiing we would definitely rent again.

Ursula's cabin is very clean and all the amenities are exactly as described. Drinkable well water!! She was very thorough with instructions in the guest book which was much appreciated. We enjoyed (too much!) the peanut brittle from the Sugar Shack and eating at The Loft on the road up to Okemo. Sadly, two aspects of the property were disappointing for us. The pictures online do not accurately show the shallow depth of this corner of the pond or the amount of weeds, mud and algae blooms. In order to swim you have to paddle about 100 yards to the center of the pond. You then have to be fit enough to get yourself off of and back onto a kayak -- she has a two-person plastic 'sit-atop' one that you can use for this purpose. I was able to manage it, but not gracefully! I would recommend paddle boards for guests in addition to kayaks. Most other properties on the pond have access to the water via small sandy beaches or docks. I would add that the water was so murky that I wasn't comfortable with my dog swimming off the shore either. The second aspect which cannot be helped is how close the cabin is to the very busy Route 100 (40mph). Ursula's yard is surprisingly insulated from sound and private from nearby neighbors with a fence, but walking on Rt 100 with a dog or children would be risky in my opinion. There are many wonderful qualities about Ursula's cabin, but I feel that transparency is important -- serious swimmers and walkers may want to reconsider this rental.

We had a wonderful week at the Lake house. Wonderful location, beautiful lake, very spacious, well-kept property. We hope to return in the future.
