The Lake House - One of Ludlow's Most Picturesque Rentals
This comfortable and convenient, 3 bedroom, 3 bath lakefront home with fully-appointed kitchen & full laundry is perfectly situated to enjoy a relaxing Vermont vacation. The home sleeps 10 people and is only 2 miles to the area's best skiing!
Right out of the back door, you'll find one of Vermont's most pristine lakes. (No motor boats permitted.) The fresh, mountain air and stunning Vermont views will greet you at every turn. The boat dock and included kayaks and canoe (with life vests) make for great fun, great fishing and great relaxation a full three seasons out of the year. Paddle to the nearby overflow "waterfall", swim, or fish from the dock or one of the boats ... great for kids and adults of all ages. Whether you're looking for the best hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking ... or just enjoying the view with a fresh, hot cup of coffee on the deck, you'll find this location and this home the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

The location is ideal for summer or winter. (Okemo 2 miles away Buttermilk Falls, golf etc 3 miles)
The quintessentially Vermont town of Ludlow (about 4 miles) offers great local shops, a fully-stocked supermarket, drugstore, hardware store, bike shop, wine shops and fantastic restaurants.
The beautiful and historic town of Woodstock is a short 25 mile drive, and you can stop at the brewery and get a sampler of the different word famous Long Trail ales and maybe enjoy lunch or dinner there right next to at a murmuring brook. . The renowned Weston Playhouse Theater is even closer at just 10 miles. Weston is worth a visit by itself.
Winter - It's virtually impossible to beat this home and this location for great winter activity and relaxation. From the winter wonderland that the lake and surrounding area becomes, to some of the most amazing skiing in all of Vermont, you'll find it all close by. Okemo's newest lodge, Jackson Gore, is just 2 miles away and connects with other Okemo lodges via a network of 121 trails & glades, 667 acres of terrain and a vertical drop of 2,200 feet ... the most in southern Vermont. Okemo is reliable to always have fantastic grooming and is known for “the best in family fun”. If you are an extreme skier and need a challenge go to nearby Killington.

Plan a bike trip along one of the rivers or the chain of lakes on which this home sits, play tennis on the nearby public court or play golf just 3 miles away! Jump in the water at the famous Buttermilk Falls just 3 miles away.
Many of the local mountains offer scenic rides, exciting activities for children and teenagers, and mountain biking.
“We spent the majority of our time swimming, fishing, kayaking, and just hanging out in the backyard.”
Review by Aimee D.
“We really enjoyed staying at this very comfortable cottage. It was a very convenient base to go mountain biking, hiking, and of course canoeing was right out the back door.”

Autumn - Sited in one of the lushest areas in Southern Vermont, the fall colors here are nothing short of breath-taking. From sunny, warm days - perfect for hiking and biking and relaxing - to the cool, crisp nights tailor-made for a glass of wine or s'mores around the fire (weather permitting), this is the place to take it all in.
