About this property

Lake Rescue Summers, Ski Okemo Winters

Views of and Direct Access to Lake Rescue. 3 BR + Loft with 2.5 Baths. 4 min to Okemo.

Newly renovated home perfect for up to 8 people. We've had as many as 14 but certainly not ideal. Three bedrooms plus a loft that can sleep 4 and is perfect for the kids. We have 2 and a half baths, living room, family room, dining room, mudroom, and a nicely appointed kitchen. Located just 4 miles from the Jackson Gore Okemo entrance and 5 miles from the Main Entrance at Okemo Mountain. Our home is directly across from Lake Rescue with a deeded right of way down to the lake. We have beautiful views of the lake from the house and yard. The wraparound deck offers views of the lake as well as a dining table with a lighted umbrella. A gas grill is provided. We also have a small covered patio accessible via French doors from the lower level so you can relax and enjoy looking at the lake during inclement weather.

Our home has many nice features including radiant heat on the main floor and lower level. If you aren’t familiar with radiant heat, it is a network of pipes running through the floors which use hot water to heat the floor. No cold feet on our stone, tile or hardwood floors. We also have a pellet stove to jump start the heat when you arrive, and it provides a nice natural flame with very little work and no firewood to deal with. We have an AC window unit in the upper level loft and have recently added a standup AC unit in the living room. The family room in the lower level includes a ping pong table and electronic dartboard for entertainment. Smart TVs in the Living Room, Family Room, and loft all have basic cable along with apps like Netflix, Amazon, etc. For outdoor fun you will find 5 kayaks, a firepit, and a cornhole set. A short float or a walk will bring you to Red Bridge Falls or what has affectionately been called “The Redneck Riviera.” This dam is a great place to relax and play in the water.
Okemo mountain and Lake Rescue aside, there are tons of other local attractions and activities to enjoy in the area. The following is a list of some of our favorites:
-Sugar House - .5 miles
-Buttermilk Falls – 3 miles
-Okemo Golf Club – 3 miles
-Ludlow Farm Market – 5 miles
-Long Trail Brewery - 14 miles
-Killington Skyeship Base Lodge – 14 miles

PARKING – We have room for at least 3 cars and a boat or snowmobile trailer could fit too. Our property manager plows after each snow fall and is close by if you need anything or have any questions.

CONVENIENCE- the Town of Ludlow is less than 10 minutes from the house where you will find Shaw's Supermarket, Rite Aid, gas stations and many restaurants and shopping.

WHAT YOU DON’T NEED TO BRING - Our kitchen is fully stocked and is equipped with a full size fridge, stove, microwave, toaster oven, french press, combo coffee maker to make a full pot or K cups, pots, pans, dishes, bakeware and all staples you would find at home. Our guest consistently tell us this is the most comprehensively stocked kitchen in any rental they've ever been in. Kitchen, bath, and beach towels are provided along with linens, blankets and pillows.

FEES - Housekeeping fee is $175.00 regardless of length of stay for up to 8 people.

PETS - WE DO NOT ALLOW PETS DUE TO SEVERE ALLERGIES OF OWNER. SORRY, SERVICE ANIMALS PRESENT THE SAME HEALTH HAZARDS TO ME AS PETS.

SECURITY DEPOSIT - Standard refundable security deposit of $500.00 required for all bookings.

SNOWMOBILING - The Okemo State Forest VAST trail is across the lake from us at the top of Red Bridge Road.

ARRIVAL – You will access the home with a code at the mudroom door. Flexible arrival and departure times are permitted by owner when possible. Safe travels.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW – We want all of our guests to have an enjoyable experience. While we absolutely cherish our time at our VT home, we know it isn’t perfect and feel you should know a few things before you book. Our property is on the Rt. 100 side of the lake. This is considered by many to be the most scenic road in the state of VT. It's also super convenient and puts you in the Jackson Gore parking lot in 4 minutes! The upper floor of our house is known as hobbit land. No there aren’t any furry creatures, but the ceilings are low, see pictures. This floor contains a bedroom, half bath, and the loft. Still great for the kids but taller adults need to be aware. I could see it getting old if you lived there but most guests think it's a great space and the lake views from the bedroom up there are spectacular!

Our Cancellation Policies are listed below under HOUSE RULES and in our RENTAL CONTRACT.

All bookings are online secured with a signed Rental Contract and full Payment. We do not collect service fees. Any fees charged are payable to VRBO and HomeAway. Please read all HOUSE RULES and our RENTAL CONTRACT for additional information including all of OUR CANCELLATION POLICIES.
Feel free to contact me with any other questions.

Fantastic home near Okemo

We stayed at this property over Presidents' Day weekend. We had a group of four but the house has enough bedrooms to comfortably accommodate twice as many people. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well-stocked and had everything we needed. The pellet stove did a fantastic job keeping the entire house warm and helped create a cozy environment. We skied at Okemo and the house is only a 5 minute drive from resort parking. We highly recommend this property and it will be our first choice if we decide to return to the area next winter.

Incredible, Welcoming and Inviting Home

We had a wonderful time in Michael & Amy's home. Driving in the lights were on and the Vermont decor was perfect. Everything was well prepared with a fully stocked kitchen with all the different appliances that you would want. All the essentials were well stocked - soap, paper towels, toilet paper, toothpaste and much more. The house was very clean and well kept with many different areas to hang out in. The beds were very comfortable and the pellet stove was a fantastic providing heat and great ambiance.We would definitely like to stay again in the winter and summer. Thank you for having us.

Great House!! So close to Okemo Mountain

This was a great house! We stayed here with another family, and everyone was comfortable and loved it. The house was clean and warm. The large entry area was perfect for leaving boots, coats and snow gear. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you could need to cook any meal: pots, pans, cooking utensils, spices, oils, condiments etc.. The beds were comfortable, showers were hot and towels were soft. The downstairs game area was a fun gathering place to play ping-pong and watch movies together. We will definitely stay here again for future trips to Okemo Mountain. It took only 5 mins to get to the mountain. This also seems like a beautiful place to be in the warmer months. The lake was frozen over while we were there, but I am sure it is nice to enjoy when it warms up. This place is a winner!!

Fantastic!

Our stay at this property was great. It is just as described and is less than 10 minutes to the Jackson Gore base. Michael was responsive and answered our questions leading up to check-in. We have stayed at many rentals and can easily say the kitchen at Mabel’s was the best stocked in terms of dishes, pans, utensils, etc. We had 3 small children who loved the sleeping loft area. We would definitely stay at this property again!

Perfect Place

This lovely cabin was perfect for my family of 8 adults. The tastefully decorated cabin was quite spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The owners also provided kayaks and tubes for fun on the water as well as a game table in the lower level for any rainy days and firewood for our nightly gatherings around the firering. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone who wants to vacation in beautiful Vermont.

Wedding Weekend

My daughter got married in Ludlow. Looked for a place for my husband and me along with my son and family. This house was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations. Just pack your bags and any food you need to bring - you will not need anything else. This home is equipped with everything you may possibly need. First time renting with VRBO, everything was quick and easy along with the host answering my questions immediately. Highly recommend it.

Great house for Okemo!

We had a great time! Michael was a wonderful host. He responded to all of our questions and the house was very comfortable. It is VERY close to Okemo (less than 10 minutes), so we did a lot of skiing. There was A LOT of snow, but someone was at the house almost daily to plow the driveway and shovel the deck, so we had no issues at all. We would definitely return. Thank you!

Perfect family getaway

Came up for a long weekend ski vacation with my 3 adult kids, plus 2 extras. House was perfect - plenty of beds for everyone to be comfortable, two living spaces to spread out (although we were all normally in the same room). Prior reviews stated that the kitchen was the best stocked they had ever seen. I completely agree. Anything you could possibly need was available, including basic condiments in the fridge. Pellet stove heated the entire home - actually had to turn it off occasionally because we got too warm. We all had fun playing ping pong in the evenings. Hosts were very responsive. Check-in/out instructions were comprehensive and pretty much told you everything you needed to know about staying in the house. I truly felt at home in the cottage - like I was staying at a friend's place rather than a VRBO. Super convenient to Okemo ski resort - only about 5 minutes away. Would love to come up and see the place in the summer as it is right on the lake.

Great place for family ski vacation!

House was very clean and cozy although plenty of room for our family to spread out! Perfect for our family holiday ski trip. We had everything we needed! Furniture and beds were very comfortable! Smart TV’s made it easy to watch or listen to whatever we wanted - movies to music!! Love the location! Less than 10 minute drive to Okemo and downtown Ludlow. Owners were very responsive and lovely hosts! They had several holiday decorations around the house which added to the inviting atmosphere. Mud room was perfect for unloading and maintaining skis! Love the the ski storage! Kitchen was very thoughtfully appointed. Plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, paper goods and basic cooking spices. Family room was a perfect place to relax after a day of skiing. The loft was a fun space for the kids to hang out with a great view! We loved the basement space! Great for family movie on the large screen. Game area with comfy furniture, ping pong and air hockey. Dart board made for fun family competition! Wish we could have enjoyed all the outdoor areas, bet it is a great place in the summer!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Anderson

Host profile image
We named our home after our family. Michael, Amy, Brenna, Erin, and Linda. We love skiing and Okemo has something for everyone in our family. We originally began our search with the mountain in mind but our spot at the lake has made this a year round attraction for us.

Why they chose this property

Ludlow is a great place. We have enough restaurants and retail to be convenient but still have that small town quaint Vermont feel. I can't think of many spots that have so many quality ski mountains within easy reach for day trips.
