Family ski holiday

We had a great time skiing, both Killington and Okemo are close, and staying at this clean and spacious vrbo. We were parents with two teenage sons, two girlfiends and a dog. The space worked really well. Sitting in the hot tub at night under the stars was wonderful.

Spacious and fun stay

Unique place to stay but has all the amenities. Equipped kitchen, games, wood stove, hot tub all just 10 mins from Okemo. There is a master suite that is like a private apartment above the garage... Lovely stay and friendly host.

Great stay!

We had a great stay! Beautiful great room that maintains its historic origins as a school house and a short drive to Okemo. A perfect home for a weekend getaway.
