Fall weekend
Nice little cottage. It was clean upon arrival and beds neatly made and well stocked with towels. Hot water at the bathroom vanity was an issue as well as the kitchen only having two mugs when the cottage is advertised for four people. Also, the lamp provided on the nightstand in the second bedroom could not be plugged in due to the only electrical outlet being located on the wall on the opposite side of the bed, where it was pushed up against. Would recommend owner providing more amenities and extension cords.

Lovely but needs a bit
Comfortable with lovely grounds and docks, enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards! The porch is light and cheery and is the best part of the house; however the living room is not as pictured - it is not painted light colors, but dark and gloomy. Kitchen large and well furnished however the screen is torn, and a squirrel got in, which was a bit scary though it did get back out. We had to keep the window closed. A much bigger problem was that the code-machine to get in was unreliable. We entered the first time, but next time, it did not open the lock. We called but got a phone tree -- no human ever came on to help us while we stood inthe rain trying agin and again. Finally after 10 minutes, the buttons worked and we got it. Then we had to leave the other door unlocked for the rest of our stay. FIX IT Vrbo!! and also be sure you have a human being nearby to help in such situations, not a robot or long phonetree.

Cozy on the water
Older cottage, but clean and freshened up with paint. Small, but had everything you needed, including fans in every room, books, games, kitchen ware. Beds were not that comfortable for the older folks, fine for the younger ones. Shared access to kayaks, canoe, and paddle boards was a huge plus! Beautiful spot on Lake St. Catherine, perfect for swimming and boating right from the yard. Two other cottages share the outdoors space and amenities (fire pit, grill, kayaks, swim docks, etc.). We were lucky to have pleasant neighbors in those cottages, and we enjoyed our conversations and had no problems sharing space with them.

Great Holiday Weekend
Property offers a lot being in Ludlow and right on the ski trails. We had to communicate with Slopside Okemo who were helpful. There was no propane tank but the property manager was quick to allow us to buy one when in town and reimburse us for the cost.

Fantastic Vacation Property !
This is a beautiful, clean, spacious property that any guest would be pleased to stay at, no matter what time of year! We felt welcomed before we even stepped into the property as communication from the property owner was exemplary. Everything was clean, beautiful, and exactly as described. Actually better than described as the pictures don't do the place justice. Would highly recommend to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. So many great things to do in the area as well, from outdoor activities to shopping and more (interesting things for all age levels). Thank you for our wonderful stay!

Solid Getaway House
Our group really enjoyed coming up to Vermont and staying the weekend. The house has a lot of bedrooms and space between the various connected parts and the hot tub was awesome to have. Sliding doors, screen doors, and windows could use some attention as they can be a bit difficult to operate. But that was the only flaw!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent house with pretty much everything you need in a house. We were a party of 21 people and we enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The house was kept clean and we found it very safe for the kids to use them during this pandemic time. Hot tub in the property is well maintained.

Great location, spacious, well-equipped house
We booked this house for a weekend with 20 people and a large age range (6 to 75+). It's location on Okemo mountain had hiking trails from the backyard and was close to other attractions in town. The house was very clean and had plenty of spaces to hang out for all the different groups. We appreciated the well supplied kitchen, had all the pots/pans/dishes/cups/silverware we needed for our weekend. The team was responsive to any questions we asked/made sure we knew what would be going on and had clear instructions posted on things that might be confusing. Wifi was plenty powerful for everyone's devices while we were there, they had laundry detergent, board games, and plenty of linens/towels. Would absolutely stay again with a large group, loved the experience!

Awesome house!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a group of eleven at 40 Route 66 and everyone loved it. The Sachem trail is right off the backyard. The house itself had tons of space; plenty of beds and baths for way more people. The attached apartment on the entrance level floor was great for the couple who didn’t have kids to escape the mayhem. Huge dining table. Hot tub on the entry level overlooking the slopes. The place was killer. Would rent here every year.

Ski Vacation to Paradise
What a ski house!! Walk right on to Sachem Trail and you are off. This is great for older kids who can already ski, trail might be a little tough for a beginner or younger children. "Ski Room" on the first floor is genius to get ready and out the door. House is spacious, clean and just exactly what you want for a ski vacation. Can't wait to stay here again. Nothing but professionalism from Slopeside Okemo and their team, so easy to deal with.

Long Weekend in VT
The property was a spectacular setting for a group of friends who have been quarantined together to get away for a relaxing weekend. The house was perfect for a larger group, however we were surprised by the numerous flights of stairs. We were traveling with a 1 year old so this was tricky but manageable, just keep your group demographic in mind when considering the 5 flights of stairs!! Linens and rooms were immaculate. Would love to book this home again! Great yard for games and a beautiful view.
