Walk to Okemo Ski Lift - Private Classic VT Ski Chalet w/ Fire Pit & Pool Table

PLEASE NOTE: No Saturday arrivals or departures, no pets, no parties
Recommended local activities and floor plans of our home can be found on our OkemoHouse site.

The "Trailside Chalet" is a beautiful classic Vermont ski chalet with all the modern comforts of home. Our home is located ON OKEMO MOUNTAIN across the street from skiing and riding at Okemo Mountain Resort -- approximately a 200 yard walk downhill from the Sunshine Chairlift and Suncatcher ski trail (typically open end of Dec - end of March). Best part is - you won't ever hit any traffic because we are already on the mountain! The Chalet is located on a private wooded lot overlooking a babbling brook on Okemo Mountain. Our updated kitchen and 2 full baths are complimented by 5 bedrooms, a pool table, outdoor fire pit, and plenty of space to spread out!
A short drive down the mountain is the picturesque town of Ludlow with many quaint restaurants and shops.

Awesome house close to ski lift
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the trailside chalet! A quick walk up the road to the ski lifts and plenty to keep us entertained after a day of skiing. We really enjoyed the fire place and pool table!! Prescott was a great host, quick to respond to our questions.

Great place for a group of 10
A really nice house with full kitchen, loft with two queen bedrooms separated by a bathroom, ground floor room with king and bathroom, and basement with two bedrooms - one with two twin beds and one with four bunk beds. The house had a working washer/dryer, fully functioning kitchen, two TV areas, a pool table, and dining table for 6-8The house was fully equipped and everything worked well. We visited in the winter and they had the driveway and steps cleared and salted every day. The house was comfortable and served us really well. The house is technically in walking distance of a lift - it's on the Sunrise side (right side when looking at a map), and the lift is maybe 1000 feet from the house. It's not super easy to get there with ski boots, but neither is driving to the base of the mountain. The access road is steep, but we didn't have trouble in our two wheel drive mini van. There's a grocery store nearby that does order pickup, and there is a place the rents skis off-mountain (half the price) at the bottom of the access road. The only things to mention (none take away from our great review, but are worth knowing) are:1. this house has a spiral staircase between all floors, which might not suit those with limited mobility and require care if you've got babies crawling around who can easily access the steeper stairs. 2. There's no bathroom on the bottom floor, so the 2-twin and 4 bunk bed rooms (kids) will need to come to the middle (entry) floor.Great place!

Okemo Trip
Nice, big place. There are very few 5-bedrom places for rent, so this was very good. Communications with the owner were excellent. He was very accommodating and managed to get us in early to watch a football playoff game. (Note: no cable TV, so be ready to be creative with YouTube, etc. to get network TV.)Nice, big fireplace and plenty of wood. Nice common space for gathering around the TV and fireplace. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware. It's about a 200 yard walk (according to an Apple Watch) to the nearest lift. Not bad normally, but it is straight uphill, so a little workout while carrying skis or a board.Ample parking for 3-4 cars.If you need a big place near the mountain, this is for you.

This home on Okemo Mountain is FANTASTIC!
Trailside Chalet is a fantastic home!! The layout of the home allows for coziness and a bit of separation too! The rec room level is perfect with the pool table and dart board, room to hang on the couch with the option of a cozy fire, along with 2 bedroom and a laundry area! The main floor also has a great layout with a mudroom, main level bedroom, a full bathroom, kitchen, dining areas, as well as a living room area with a huge TV above the fireplace! The top level has two bedrooms and another full bathroom! The home is heated well and always felt warm and the decor was really nice! The main level has lots of windows and sliding glass doors for a wide-open view to the outdoors! It is a 3–4-minute ride into town and is directly across from a chair lift! I highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a great time in Ludlow! Thank you so much for sharing your home!! We had a lovely time!!

Second stay was just as great as the first!
I am happy to report that our second stay at the Trailside Chalet was just as wonderful as the first. We have family in CT and NH and have met up there for the second year in a row now to spend time together in Ludlow, VT. The house was neat, clean, well-stocked with paper goods and towels and the beds are very comfortable. The pool table is a big hit with the whole family and got regular use during both of our stays. The house is located very close to places to eat and it a nice middle location to visit places like St. Gauden's National Site, Wilson Castle and the Vermont Country Store. We also very much love being able to use the Pool up at Jackson's Gore and going on the Mountain Coaster there. . This is a great place to stay! I can't say enough positive things and I really have no negatives.

Fantastic ski weekend with friends!
We had a blast during our stay at Okemo House. The house was spacious enough for 10 people and stocked with everything we needed for a long weekend. Couldn’t beat the proximity to the chair lift and downtown Ludlow! Would definitely stay here again.

Very close to Okemo ski resort
We stayed here for 5 nights with my brothers and their family. First of all , the house is very nice and clean. There r 2 rooms with single bed / bunk bed downstairs that we put all our kids in that 2 rooms. There is a common area down stairs with pool table . Kids had so much fun playing there with their cousins. Second , their house is around 3-4 mins drive to the Okemo mountain base. Very close and very convenient. Everyone had a great time here and most of the all, the house owner is very nice and always respond quickly whenever I have any question. I would highly recommend this ski house to anyone 🎿👍🏻

Okemo House Trailside Chalet
Our stay at the Trailside Chalet was fantastic! It was a great central location for all of the things we wanted to accomplish on our long weekend. The home was clean, cute and comfortable. Our reservation went smoothly and we had no issues with the property. I would highly recommend booking this property for a family vacation. I would definitely book again if I was in the area. Definitely a 5 star experience.

overall, loved the property. waking up to hear the brook/stream in the background was a treat. Ludlow itself seems to still be recovering from the floods, but there was still plenty to do and tim to hang at the cabin.

wonderful ski vacation :)
This is our second time renting the Trailside Chalet for our February school break- and it's always the best! Convenient for access to the mountain/downtown, communication is always excellent and we enjoy our time in the house. The kids have a great time in the downstairs-TV and pool table adjoining their bedrooms. Kitchen is easy to access and prepare meals-only bring along groceries. Thanks again to this property team- another great experience!!

Quaint chalet at small mountain base
The Trailside Chalet was a great experience for our 3 families. We had 10 people and it was spacious enough for all. The check in was easy and the owners very proactive with information. The home itself was fairly well stocked in the kitchen and we made good use of each level (including the fireplace). The location was also good as it was a short walk to the new lift on the left side of the mountain which made a full day of skiing an easy experience! We would be happy to stay again sometime!

The Perfect Mountain Stay
We loved our stay here! Location was perfect, and the three floors of living space was exactly what we needed for multiple families. We have never stayed on this side of the mountain and we loved it. We were able to jump on the lift with a quick walk and be out for the day. The kids loved the bottom level space where they watched shows, played games, pool and darts. This allowed the adults to have the entire first floor for relaxing by the fire. Being able to walk to a lift is a game changer for us, and although that was our main reason for choosing this space, after this week there are so many other reasons we would chose to stay here again. In fact we are already looking at dates for next year! Thank you for the hospitality and sharing your beautiful property with us!
