“Situated back from the highway, with unobstructed views of the river below, this home provides a perfect retreat from the hustle of everyday life. The home was recently renovated and the kitchen is well-equipped for at-home cooking needs. The views of the fog rolling over the river from the living room were a nice added touch in the morning, after a night's rest in the super-comfy beds. Additionally, the owner's provide a kayak and canoe (with oars and life vests) for guests, which was an added bonus. Although cellphone reception was spotty throughout the house, wifi calling was available, if needed. I highly recommend staying at this AirBnB. We hope to have a chance to visit again in the summer months.”

“We all left Brian’s family’s cottage with the same love for Lake Rescue (and Vermont!) as I had as a child. This is a gem of a property for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil vacation. We spent a week with our three young boys (8, 5, & 3). The house felt cozy yet spacious as the neutral color palette and absence of distracting decor allowed for the outdoors to filter into the room and create a peaceful atmosphere. We felt very at home in the space. And you just can’t beat the pre-dawn hours in the River Room overlooking the river, lake, and mountains as the sun rises - waking up early is worth it as we saw osprey, heron, a fox, an eagle, and a bear right on the river on the property! The acre property held so many moments of imaginative exploration and wonder both for our young boys and ourselves, and we spent many hours on the river and lake in the kayak and canoe. Bring your fishing rods! :) Although firewood isn’t provided, our boys also enjoyed collecting fallen twigs and branches for our fire pit nights. The hosts supplied more than enough linen and towels, and as I cooked from scratch every day, the kitchen was very well stocked with supplies (both sides of the kitchen peninsula has supplies), and the kitchen counter space and fridge had ample room for all the groceries I brought from home for the week. The water from the tap was also great to drink. Brian, the host, was prompt, clear, and kind in his communication from the start, and the house manual was easily to follow and informative. We hope to become yearly vacationers at his family’s lakeside cottage.”

“Brian’s place was great. Cute and stylish and so close to the mountain. Had everything we needed for our ski vacation. Kids even built a mini jump in the snow in the front yard for before and after hours snow play! The views from the back windows are absolutely amazing and I’m sure wonderful to enjoy outside in warmer months”

“The home is perched above the Black River with an AMAZING view down to Lake Rescue. It cannot be sold enough how lovely it is to wake up, make a cup of coffee and stare out at nature. We felt at home from the minute we walked in. There are many considerate touches. We had plenty of room to feast on our Thanksgiving meal with the ample kitchen and seating area. Having 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs is also a plus. I hope we get a chance to come back.”

“We had a great time at this house! We came here on our yearly ski trip and it was in a perfect location between Okemo and Killington! I would certainly recommend this location to anyone looking for a clean, affordable and great location!”

“A charming house with all the amenities needed for a lovely week of skiing. Beautiful views of the Black River which is the perfect place to have your morning coffee or tea. Located a few minutes from the slopes and town. My family felt at home during our stay this week and will go back the next time we come to Vermont anytime of year. The owner was extremely accommodating and available when needed. Perfect HomeAway from home!”

Beautiful spot
Such a sweet little spot sitting right alongside a beautiful creek. Only minutes away from Okemo and Ludlow. Very peaceful! Highly recommended!
