Great house for large group

We had a great long weekend in Vermont enjoying the area. Emerald Lake was beautiful and so fun (we brought our own kayaks, canoes, fishing gear). The house has plenty of room for a large group. Kitchen tables are amazing and so nice to be able to all sit down and eat together. Wish there was a bit more living room seating though. Overall great house for a large group and a great vacation house.

Bristol Family Vacation

The property was perfect for our group of 20, 16 adults and 4 kids. It was near enough to Emerald Lake State Park for walking. The large kitchen area and living room worked well for our group as we all could fit around the table.

Amazing location!

We had a great time here! The location is PERFECT. Walking distance to the lake, which is absolutely beautiful, and many trials, which were also beautiful. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and very helpful, they and their friends even joined us for a campfire and sang with us. Very fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking to see the beauty of Vermont!

Large Home in the Green Mountains

The house has TWO dishwashers and TWO fridges and THREE dining tables. It was a great house for a large group. We visited for Labor Day and went to three different rail trails to bike in the area. Being able to walk to Emerald Lake was great, it's a wonderful place to swim and paddle.

Fantastic Old Farm House

We had a great time at this house. It was clean, kitchen well stocked and a great location. Our favorite thing was the huge kitchen table. We spent many hours hanging out at the table eating, talking and doing puzzles. The bedrooms worked out great with our crew. The laundry room was clean and worked out great. Easy, convenient and great working machines. The owners were awesome people and were very easy to reach when needed.

There is no A/C which im used to with Vermont properties but most windows were not functioning. The lack of A/C should be listed in the description. Property was a little too outdated for my taste in a vacation rental.

VSF 2023

Our property was close to the horse show grounds as well as dinner spots, grocery stores, and shopping. This house was AMAZING! It had everything we needed and more for sleeping, cooking, and relaxing. We needed a place to stay for the time we spent showing at VSF, which is less than 2 miles from the property. Making it extremely convenient to get to the barn early in the mornings and get back to do night check. This house is spacious and can accommodate a very large number of people. If your cooking theres an abundance of everything youll need! The basement is great, with a pool table, that converts to a ping pong table, and theres laundry facilities! Each room has window fans and plenty of blankets. The living room area is also great to spread out in. Theres a grill on the porch that is awesome, and plenty of parking! The property is really cool, like a super old huge farm house, thats been updated with fresh paint, modern lighting, pretty tile floors in the kitchen, but still has the old world charm. It was perfect! Our hosts were easy to communicate with and everything was wonderful. All of us enjoyed our stay at the property.

This property is amazing!Located right next to Emerald Lake State Park, it was easy to find, had plenty of parking, and was easy to check into. The kitchen was more than we could hope for with 2 refrigerators 2 large tables and a giant island with plenty of seating. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable even without air conditioning; the fans kept the house nice and cool. I highly this property.

Comfortable practical place for a large group

This place worked really well for 17 of us on our Fall "Gourmet Music" weekend. The large double kitchen had ample workspace and 2 long tables for sit down meals. The living room allowed us all to sit in a circle. Bedrooms were as displayed and being nicely improved - panelling and insulation. Plenty of dishes, utensils, bathrooms, 2 dishwashers, and excellent heat. We brought alot of our own cookware. This place is very practical and down to earth since it is a ski lodge. If you're looking for pristine you might be disappointed. But great for a large group to get comfortable in. Emerald Lake is a short walk away. There was a bit of additional cleaning needed after we arrived. The owners and local maintenance people were very responsive. Hoping to return.

Room for all

We stayed in this generously spacious house and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The owners are extremely helpful and prompt in all matters. The kitchen is enormous and very well laid out for large gatherings. The only issue we encountered was deciding which bedroom to sleep in! Dorset and neighboring Manchester are lovely towns to be explored while staying in the comforts of this charming Vermont home.
