Great location in Ludlow

Our group of 5 enjoyed the property and its proximity to town. A quick one block to Main & Mountain and other restaurants. The house is a nice old half house with tasteful renovations. Having the heating options made it flexible for those who are always cold to sit by the gas fireplace. Beds were comfy, bathrooms are clean, showers are pretty tight but lots of hot water. Being able to load/unload 6 feet from the back door was really convenient. This was our second stay with the first time being the other half of the property and will stay again.

Bowling for snowballs

Our bowling team had a great time getting away from our normal day-to-day for some snowboarding and skiing. Wendi was very helpful at answering questions, their website was very easy to use and access was straightforward. Having a washer and dryer was great for keeping our gloves warm and dry. The fireplace was super cozy for the kids as they played Nintendo on the TV.

Our little group just needed a one night stay as we were headed to the Vermont Vintage Fair. So, we arrived and left within 18 hours. We would have loved to stay longer and use the amenities: fire pit, kitchen and visit the town, but time didn't allow it. We would definitely stay again. The home was adorable, renovated, nicely decorated and very clean.

Girls Ski 2023

The property was as described. Lots of space, fantastic location - walkable to restaurants - and only a few minutes to the mountain. The kitchen had all we needed to cook in our first night. I was concerned because we usually stay on the mountain but found that this was actually more fun for the girls weekend. We got to experience Ludlow which is a great town and not to be overlooked. Wendy was quick to reply to our questions - I would highly recommmend.

Been renting in Ludlow for 25+ years. NIcely functioning 3BR house that allows you to walk downtown. I would say limit to 7 people, we had 5. Refurbed house that is clean and beds comfortable. The contact for the house was very responsive and we could rent again next year.

Perfect Location, Great Stay

Our family of 4 stayed here for a ski trip New Years weekend - Wed thru Sunday and had a very good stay. The location is incredible, a 5 minute walk to anywhere in downtown Ludlow and a 5 minute drive to skiing at Okemo. The house was perfect for what we needed it for - which was a place to eat breakfast in the morning and crash while watching a movie before bed each night. It was a little less bright, shiny and "new" feeling than the pictures portray, and the showers and 2 adult bedrooms were smaller than we had hoped but we were still really happy with everything. The third floor bedroom was perfect for our kids and they regularly commented on how cozy the bedding was, which was great. Overall, highly recommended for the location and an overall nice place that we would stay at again. Thanks for having us!

Wendi works and travels between Florida and Vermont creating unique and useful tutorials on how to fix up a home and decorate stylishly on a budget.

Why they chose this property

I traveled through the area in the summer of 2015 and fell in love with Vermont and the area. That fall, my husband and I found an old duplex built in 1835. It had great bones, lots of natural sunlight and plenty of potential to make it a unique getaway infused with character. Ludlow and its surrounding towns and attractions made the location perfect for a year-round destination that families and friends could enjoy. The old home was in rough condition but structurally sound. All it needed was creative updating and ingenuity. After lots of hard work, many hours of labor and lots of creative DIY projects, we are happy to host guests in the the North House Lodge and as of 1/2020, add the now the Mill Place to our group as well. .
