The cottage was so nice with beautiful foliage surrounding it. Very spacious downstairs living area. Everything worked in the house. My only concern was the slightly steep staircase. Our dogs loved the open space to run around in. It was a perfect location for peacefulness and privacy. Loved it!

Perfection!
This cottage was absolutely perfect! Our family of 5 stayed for a long weekend of snow boarding. Location is so close to Okemo. The wood stove was the best part of warming up after a cold day on the slopes. The cottage has everything you could need.

Incredible views at cozy cottage
This cottage is exactly as pictured and described. Simple, private, cozy and well equipped. It’s immaculately clean and very comfortable. The host and owner lives so close by he dropped off kindling when we ran out on a snowy night. Can’t beat the location to get to ski trails, Manchester, Ludlow and the Long Trail.

Wonderful spot for writing retreat
A friend and I stayed at this lovely and comfortable cottage to work on writing projects. It was a great setup, with a a bedroom for each of us upstairs and a big, sturdy kitchen table plus two couch and coffee table setups downstairs, so there was plenty of room to space out (both literally and figuratively!) and work. There were lots of outlets for plugging in laptops and charging iPads, and the wifi and cell signals were strong.
With windows on all sides, the house is flooded with light, even on gray days, and we found the long views and very private setting inspirational.
The house was super clean and the furnishings sturdy. The hosts were very accessible but also unobtrusive.
Best of all, we were both very productive! We plan to return.

Wonderful cottage in Southern Vermont!
The cottage was ideally situated in Southern Vermont with close access to skiing, hiking, and the Appalachian Trail. The cottage has a rustic feel, but has all the amenities you want including fast internet, and dishwasher. Even though there are some homes within walking distance, we did not see anyone else, and the cottage feels secluded. Great for a family or friends. Highly recommend!

The rental process was super easy. Ron is an amazing caretaker of this delightful cottage that is located on a beautiful hill side overlooking Star Lake in the distance with panoramic views of mountains. The property is also accessible to many walking trails that are well marked. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Ron was very accessible and gave us great information about the area. We highly recommend and plan on returning in the future.

The cottage was perfect for our vacation, and the location was breathtaking for our autumn visit. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and inviting. I was able to take my dog, which was a big plus for me. We enjoyed sitting on the deck taking in the view of the mountains, and there is much to explore in the area. Ron and Dottie are excellent hosts; Ron was very good at communicating with me both at the time of booking and as the date for our trip approached. All in all this was a great vacation in a great place, and I expect to return in the future!

This cottage is on a beautiful hillside setting in Belmont, VT. It was easy to find, plenty spacious for two people, and the views are great. A very peaceful spot. The house was spotless and well stocked ( the non-stick skillet is scratched, but we brought our own). It is an older property, and the house and artwork are "well worn", but we truly enjoyed our stay. If you don't want a really firm mattress bring a foam topper. We were there in the fall and the trails behind the house were a bit tricky for hiking, but would be fine for snowshoes. Several hiking spots were within a 10 to 20 minute drive, and downtown Ludlow is charming. We would consider returning for another vacation in the future.

very nice cottage, near to many attractions and to Echo Lake. Only issue was the stairs to the bedrooms were more of a ladder--not for the faint hearted! Our host was available and helpful.

The property was exactly as advertised, clean, well appointed with all the essentials in the kitchen if you choose to cook. Convenient to Ludlow but far enough away to get away from the hustle of downtown.
We hiked the property on the trails that the owner Ron maintains, which was a great warm up for a and our four legged companion before we hiked the Healdville Trail up Okemo Mountain. On Ron’s property there was a mix meadows with wild flowers as far as you could see and more steep land behind the house with snow shoe trails that are a little steeper.
Ron greeted us when we arrived and we talked for a while about the craziness of Covid and how it is great to have the world returning to something close to normal.
I highly recommend this property and we will be booking additional stays in the future!

Relaxing Cottage
The cottage in Belmont was exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed incredible views from the back porch and stunning sunsets every night. The atmosphere of the cottage made us feel right at home immediately, and I would absolutely recommend any of my friends or family to stay there. Ron was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating throughout our entire visit. I would love to stay there again the next time we visit Vermont. Thank you again, Ron, for an incredible trip with great memories.

Excellent!
We really enjoyed staying at Ron and Dottie's. The house had a warm, cozy feel. It had more than enough for our 5 day stay. We felt at home and did not want to leave. We enjoyed using the porch and watching the sunset. Ron and Dottie shared some of their favorite spots with us and all their recommendations were excellent. They were easy to communicate with. We are looking forward to visit again!
Thank you Ron and Dottie!

We have a wonderful time in VT! The house was great, we used the sleds to go sledding and it was very close to Okemo. It was a great place to meet up with family - thank you!

Great visit!
We most definitely enjoyed our time at the cabin, such a convenient location to Okemo mountain, a fabulous yard for our kids to sled and run around, and the owners could not be more wonderful! We will definitely be coming back!

Phenomenal Ski Vacation
Perfect ski cottage for group of up to 6 people. Ron was an awesome host, giving us great suggestions for food and activities. The “downtown” of Belmont is beautiful, quaint little town...we especially loved the New Year’s Eve fireworks over the lake and the takeout pizza from the general store. Super convenient location, 10 minutes from Okemo but away from Ludlow so we avoided the post-ski traffic into town. Would wholeheartedly recommend, just don’t take the house when we want to rent it again!

Nice place, but good use softer beds and more comfortable couches to sleep on.
The manager was in Mexico and the power went out, we did get back but not sure if the power would go back and there was no candles or lamps they just had some little pathetic flash light. So we left 2night earlier cause we were worried that the power would go out during the night. Not to mention a dead fly in our bed and a diry bath tub. It would be nice if we were at least offered one free nigh there.

Fall Vacation
The property has some of the most magestic views that we have ever seen in Vermont! The house was clean and basic items (paper towels, tp, towels, linens) were provided. Belmont store is just down the road and the food there is fantastic (sandwiches, burgers, wraps) - but note that they do stop taking food orders 45 minutes before they close each night. There were no issues whatsover. Already planning another stay!

Last Minute Long Weekend
We loved the cottage! The sunsets were incredible and we keep talking about finding a time to go back. The Cottage was cozy and well equipped, from the kitchen utensils to fire wood. Beds were comfy with great linens and we were grateful for the extra fluffy towels. The surrounding property offered hiking trails and privacy. Greatest of all, this is a truly pet friendly rental and a great get-a-way option for our pet as well. We were happy to realize how close we were to Okemo and will certainly be back this winter. Thank you Ron for you hospitality! ***Don't miss this gem!

A quiet place in the hills
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The location is quiet with a marvelous view of the hills to the west. The sunsets were amazing. Our corgi enjoyed her walks around the property (we did too). We spent some of our time just relaxing there and some of our time hiking and visiting nearby sites. It didn't hurt that we had pretty nice weather, not too hot, not too much rain. The stairs are quite steep, but I found that just slowing down was all it took to go up or down quite handily. The internet was robust enough to support video conferencing, definitely a plus for us as we both had online meetings to attend. The kitchen was well equipped, and we enjoyed both cooking our own food and eating out nearby (Belmont and Ludlow). It was a fabulous stay.

Awesome place!
This was my 6th rental in the area and the best one yet! The location was everything I wanted; peaceful, private, yet close to many things (golf, theater, hiking). Ron was the perfect host in that he was there but kept his distance. The cottage itself is nice, but given its perfect location, my overall rating is exceptional. The stairs are a bit steep and it would have been nice to have an outdoor gas grill, but cooking over Kingsford briquettes was fun too. I look forward to returning!

First visit to Vermont!
Our first visit to Vermont could not have been more exciting! Charming dog friendly cottage on beautiful green lot overlooking Star Lake with breathtaking sunsets off the deck. The owners were so kind and responsive thru the booking process which made life easy. This cottage is stocked with all the comforts of home. Close enough for all kinds of hiking and fishing adventures, but far enough off the beaten path that you really feel like you 'got away'. We would definitely recommend this rental and look forward to our next visit!

Great Start to Summer!
We had an amazing after school decompression vacation at Ron and Dottie’s cabin! The cabin was perfect for our family, especially our pup Clyde who loved romping around the meadows. Our hosts were both gracious and attentive. Be sure to check out the Healdsville Trail, Buttermilk Falls and Downtown Grocery in Ludlow.
