About this property

Stunning Ski and Lake home - ideal family or friend getaway

*** Contact marionburch@icloud.com for current specials.

This gorgeous 2,800 SF home is located right on the water (Lake Rescue) with one acre of surrounding land and quick access to Okemo (5 minutes) and Killington (20 minutes) ski areas. It is a perfect setup and fabulous location for a vacation with family or friends. Local supermarket delivery via instacart means you never need to leave the house if you don’t want to! The summer, fall and winter views of the lake and ski mountains are incredible and the location is wonderful for water sports, golfing, cycling and summer fun, dazzling fall foliage and skiing at Okemo is 5 min away or 20 min to Killington. Not to mention snow shoeing, ice fishing and cross country skiing on the lake on your doorstep plus the VAST trails, providing all year round fun!

Our home has stunning views of the lake and Okemo with an entire wall of windows across the living room and kitchen, 20ft high ceilings with huge architectural beams. The openness makes it possible for everyone to feel connected across the kitchen and living room and even out to the deck! This house stands out from the rest with its unique fresh, nautical feel – lots of blue and white to make you feel at one with your surroundings and a seemless transition from indoors to out.

All bedrooms have air conditioning. The house has 3 bedrooms plus open plan sleeping area - a king size master bedroom with an all new en-suite bathroom ; both second and third bedrooms each have a queen bed. In addition the downstairs open plan room has two single beds. In total the house can very comfortably sleep 8 people across two levels with 2½ bathrooms.

The living room boasts a beautiful wood burning fireplace and wall of windows overlooking the lake and Okemo in the distance. The kitchen is open plan with a large table to seat 8 people with windows overlooking the lake. All the amenities you need in a kitchen are provided - gas cooker, new stainless appliances, coffee machine, waffle machine, ice cream maker, blender, toaster - we have them all - and a gas BBQ out on the deck. The living room and kitchen both open onto a beautiful deck stretching across the front of the house and directly overlooking the lake, with stairs down to a patio entertainment area and the lake.

On the main level the master bedroom (king bed) overlooks the side garden and lake through 3 huge windows and the master bath is beautifully decorated with tumbled marble, a heated floor and walk-in shower. The second bedroom with a queen bed is decorated with a sailing theme and architecturally inspired sliding barn door. The third bedroom with queen bed is located adjacent to a full bathroom with tub and shower on the lower level (still above ground).

The lower level has windows overlooking the lake and offers access to the patio and dock through double French doors. This huge open space (almost 1000sqft) has a 65” flat screen TV, ping pong table and two additional single beds (creating a fourth sleeping area) making it a great place for the kids to hang out!. There is also a full laundry room with washing machine and dryer on the lower level.

In summer, we offer the use of paddle boards, kayak and canoe. Our 130' lake frontage is in a bay with shallow water access and offers a protective cove. Stairs off the dock create additional access to the water. In the winter, the mudroom provides ample space for helmets, boots and jackets with a large garage available to store your skis and snowboards.

The village of Ludlow, contains lots of great restaurants with fine dining (if you ever want to leave our home away from home), and Weston, a quick 15-minute drive away, is home to the famous Vermont Country Store (with the best cheese around) and also offers great theatre productions. Nearby, Manchester is well known for its many designer factory outlets and Woodstock, for New England charm.

Great Lake house close to Okemo

We stayed for Presidents Day weekend to ski at Okemo. The house was fantastic. Very well appointed and a great location just a short 5 minute drive to Jackson Gore. Communication from the host was top notch as well. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Mountain/Lakeside Retreat!

Our family had a fantastic stay here. The home is warm and inviting. The epic view from the large glass windows welcome you as soon as you walk in. We went during ski season and the home is not far (less than 10 mins) from the mountain. Rooms were all well appointed and beds were comfortable. There wasn’t a single complaint from our whole group. Really a perfect spot to bring the family and enjoy all that VT has to offer.

Lake House

This home was located on a beautiful lake with a view of the mountains. Our family was able to enjoy skiing during the day and easily go out to dinner at nearby restaurants. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. Our only issue was the roads nearby become very icy and it can be difficult to drive. We have a large car, but a smaller car would have difficulty. We hope to visit this home again!

Amazing Summer Weekend

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lake house. The views of Okemo Mountain rising above the lake are beautiful. The house was extremely well appointed. We had an absolute blast on the lake using the canoe, kayak and paddleboard. The brand new dock was a terrific spot for sunning and swimming. The hosts were extremely communicative and very helpful - even pointing out some wildlife highlights in the area (including an eagle's nest)! We would absolutely stay there again and are planning on it.

Great weekend

We had a great New Years weekend. We were looking for a place that had lots of space where we could all hang out and enjoy each others company and this beautiful house did just that. The place had everything we needed The family room with the fireplace was wide open to the kitchen so those of us cooking could still enjoy everyone company. Lots of sitting area for us to play card and games. There was lots of open spaces. The basement also had a nice big tv for those who wanted to watch football. We will definitely stay here again.

Great stay despite challenges from recent flooding in the area

The house was located on a quiet gravel road with plenty of trees around for privacy from neighboring properties. It had beautiful views of Lake Rescue and Okemo Mountain from its long elevated deck outside the main living area and through the windows that extended across the house. The open kitchen and living room had been beautifully renovated with lots of light, modern cabinets, and high ceilings with dark wood beams. Downstairs had a comfortable seating area and an enormous TV. The lake was visible from all the windows. The arrangement of the bedrooms was the only oddity of the house. One bedroom could only be accessed by walking through the living room and up two steps, the third bedroom was on the lower level (which worked out ok, but wasn’t ideal for our family with an elderly mother-in-law who couldn’t use stairs). Though we were disappointed that we couldn’t swim in the lake because of major flooding the week before, we still had very nice week. The owner was wonderful to work with.

Family Vacation

Great lakeside vacation with the family. House was very nice: modern kitchen opening into living area made it a great family environment. Views of lake were spectacular. Despite some rainy weather during the week, we spent a lot of time on the lake - canoeing, paddle boarding, kayaking, wind surfing and fishing.

First Ski Trip made easy

This is our first ski trip with children and it couldn’t have gone better. The house was perfect for my family and friends. More than enough space for the kids to run around and play. A beautiful kitchen to cook in with plenty of accessories. The house was very clean! The house was also 5 or so minutes away from both Okemo sites so no rush or traffic in the mornings and returning home. The property has a great hill for sledding which the kids and some adults enjoyed on our last day of stay. A big bonus that the house has a wood burning fireplace. We enjoyed it so much and there was plenty of chopped wood provided for our use. The owner Marion is so friendly and nice about checking in on us, she was always available by text for any questions and she responds back very quickly. We would definitely come back!

Fantastic home away from home

We rented this home during holiday season and it was perfect for our family. Kids hit the slopes while adults worked from home each day with a view of lake and the falling snow. The host was very thoughtful and communicative. House had everything we needed to be comfortable - great TV, games, cooking utensils. Even a tire inflator - which helped when we got a flat tire overnight! We slept great and built a fire every night. Didn’t want to leave!

Wonderful July Stay

We had a fantastic time at Marion's house. The outdoor deck has amazing lake views and very comfortable chairs to enjoy the space at all times of day. A highlight of the weekend was paddle boarding and swimming in the lake just a few steps away! The rooms are pleasant and the kitchen is very spacious, which made cooking for a group very easy. There is an inside dining table where we had dinners and and an outdoor dining table which we enjoyed using for lunch. The house was very clean and Marion is very easy to communicate with. Wifi worked extremely well. We are already looking forward to another visit!

Perfect for family gathering

The house is located on on the water with great views that made us feel outside while inside. The open concept layout worked well for us, and the finishings were modern and up-to-date. Although we spent much of the time on the water using kayaks, paddle boards, or swimming off the dock. The location is close enough to Ludlow to get groceries, take-out, etc. Nice markets in town on the weekend, as well.

Wonderful!

We booked this property for a winter getaway with family and friends and it was nearly perfect. The pictures don't do it justice. I walked in and the first thing that strikes you is the view. We had a weekend planned with winter activities but I would have been just as happy to sit in the living room with a cup of coffee and look at the view. The only issue we experienced was that the dishwasher had broken prior to our stay but the property had contacted us prior to let us know. Really.... not a big deal. We appreciated the heads up so we could pick up a couple of extra supplies. Marion was very good with communicating with us. As for the property, it exceeded by expectations. Every room was comfortable and it has a perfect open floor plan for people to hand out in the living room and others to be preparing food in the kitchen. We had come with older teens and adults. Everyone's needs and wants were filled. There is an abundance of games and activities for all. I would most definitely book this property again if we were in the area. I can see the appeal of this property for all seasons. Thank you Marion. We had a wonderful time.

About the host

Hosted by Marion Burch

Host profile image
International family of four, living in New York who love to use this special home away from home on weekends to unwind and re-energize and re-connect with each other.

Why they chose this property

4 hours from our home New York makes this an ideal get away for a weekend or longer. The skiing and riding on the Killington and Okemo ski areas is fantastic and the lake freezes over creating a whole playground for winter activities from ice fishing to cross country skiing or snow showing. The water in the summer is warm and clear, and relaxing summer days on a stand up paddle board, paddling in a canoe, hiking or just lying in the hammock listening to the water lapping at the edge are idyllic.

What makes this property unique

The views from the living room and kitchen are out of this world - with a wall of windows across the whole front looking right over the lake and onto the ski mountain beyond. In the early morning, watch the mist rise over the lake to reveal a perfect reflection of Okemo mountain in the water. If you are lucky, a bald eagle may stop by and pause a moment to eat his freshly caught breakfast.
