Our Contemporary Ski House is less than 4 miles from Okemo Mountain Resort. It is situated on 10 private acres in the South Hill section of Ludlow, VT with lovely views of Okemo Mountain.
Before we built our house we rented a lot of others and this is what we learned from them:
- There's a large mudroom for skis, boots, boards and coats. Please leave your shoes here - it keeps the rest of the floors clean and dry!
- The kitchen is large and open to the family room with a big island. It is well-stocked with everything from cookie sheets to cork screws. There are filters for the drip coffee maker, a large CrockPot, a KitchenAid stand mixer, waffle maker, electric griddle, blender, and the spice cabinet is equipped with most anything you'd need to make a great meal. If you need something specifc - please ask. We may already have it!
- The family room has a woodstove, satellite TV and lots of seating (don't you hate those houses that sleep 12 but only seat 3?). We've even got a mitten and hat warmer (dryer) on the hearth next to the woodstove and a boot dryer in the mudroom!
- There are 3 full baths with plenty of hot water (80 gallon tank...we've NEVER run out), so no one has to wait to take a shower after a long day of skiing / boarding / sledding.
- There are 4 bedrooms (3 have queen size beds, the bunk room has two bunk beds with double futons on the bottom/twins on top) and there's also a sleeping loft with 2 double beds and 3 twin beds, complete with lots of blankets and pillows. Linen service (sheets, pillow cases and towels) is available for an extra fee or you can bring your own to save $.
- There's a large driveway that can usually handle 5 cars without the need to jockey them around when someone needs to get out.
- There's DRY firewood stacked inside on an 8' long rack in the mudroom along with buckets of kindling. We leave some firestarters out next to the wood stove for each rental group.
