Best Christmas ever! Thirteen of us on the day after Christmas for Beef Wellington and gifts and a bad movie. The kitchen was fully-equipped and large enough for competing cooks, the big barn room held the tree and presents, and the big screen TV was perfect. Ten of us stayed the whole week. Comfortable beds, plenty of room to stretch out, play video games, and find a place for an old grandpa to read and nap in peace. Property owner and th manager were immediately responsive when we had a slight issue with the heating systems in the barn (resolved and worked beautifully.) We were one hundred percent happy.
Tons of space for everyone to spread out and not be on top of one another
Laurie and Russ were wonderful hosts. The property outside and in were great for our large family gathering. Loved the stone village. Would definitely stay again!
House was BETTER than described.. so many amazing amenities. Tons of space for 4 families (each with 2 kids) to spread out or to join together. Lovely town, EASY drive to Okemo and absolutely amazing communicative owner. I've rented at least 2 places a year for the last ~15 years, and the communication and features of this property trump almost all. HIGHLY recommended.
This property was great for our party! Our annual ski trip to Vermont was made extra special by staying here. So much room in the yard for sleigh riding and the house had so many amenities our kids were never bored and barley even watched TV! This was a great house for a large group, and can easily fit 16+ people.
Hosts were great loved the property especially game room Had a fantastic weekend thanks
Our family (13 of us in total, ranging in age from 2 to 77) enjoyed a week in this home. The game room was a wonderful place for the kids to enjoy themselves. The kitchen was fully stocked with every spice you could think of. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the firepit on the patio very much. The only challenge was that the home wasn't fenced in and since it was on the main road, it was a little challenging with 3 kids under 4 years of age and dogs. Never the less, a wonderful vacation experience. And the owners did a great job sharing ideas of places to go and enjoy the area, too!
Nice property. Excellently stocked kitchen, comfortable common areas for large groups, comfortable sleeping rooms, excellent wifi, scenic backyard, great fire pit, game room an added bonus. Communication with owners all great.
What an amazing house! Stayed here for a week with extended family. Even with 13 people in our group, the house had ample space for all of us. The charm, history, artworks and the modern amenities made us fall in love with the house. The quaint neighborhood offered a peaceful respite for all us. Laurie and Russ were so gracious and caring hosts. The welcome gifts were also a nice touch!
There is so much to say about this home and our experience there. The blend of history and warmth the house provides to the overall open spacious comfort you feel is beyond appealing. The yard, view, outdoor cauldron area and quaint neighborhood welcome you from the start. As a family of ten we had more than enough room to relax and make our stay an extremely positive one. The property is just as it is listed and the pride that these home owners have is second to none. I will say without a doubt that the BEST and MOST IMPORTANT amenity the home has is its OWNERS!!.They are the most thoughtful, kind, considerate people we have ever rented from and went the extra mile to insure our stay was indeed special. Our welcome gift made us feel appreciated from the very start. The history of the home is quite interesting. Russ and Laurie have added pieces of their family history, artwork and personal touches making the house one that is inviting and charming. From new updated appliances to the absolute cleanliness of the house it evident how loved and cared for this home is. Shared details of the neighborhood and local shops pointed us in the right direction for fun outings. We couldn't ask for a better experience and memorable week together and this splendid HOME allowed us to have just that! (Top this off with the fresh homemade kettle corn the neighbor across the street makes and this was one SWEET vacation!!!)
