We came back with our family again this year to hit the slopes at Windam and had another very enjoyable stay at Glenn and Robin's home. The house is so close to the mountain and truly has everything you need. It's the best spot for a family to stay!
Just as advertised. Perfect location to the mountain and town. Great views of the mountain. Cozy and well stocked. Robin and Glenn were excellent hosts. Would book again!
We got this house for a small golf trip. The house is in a great location near everything you would want to do. We found the house to be very clean and comfortable. The owner made sure you don't need a thing. It was very well stocked.

Just what you need for a ski house
House has everything you need for a ski a weekend. Owner set the heat up ahead of our arrival and was very helpful. So close to the mountain and has spectacular views.
We enjoyed being close to windham ski mountain and the town. Would be great to have starter logs for fireplace, so if you want to light a fire, would be good to have some on hand.
Lots of great hiking, biking and outdoor activities.
Howe Caverns and Bailiwick Animal park were big hits with the kids. Hiking Windham ski Mt, and biking & hiking were minutes away. Great restaurants, mini golf & icecream in town. My husband had to work remotely during our stay and the wifi was excellent.

Wonderful Winter Trip!
We had a wonderful time during our stay in Windham. The weather was quite chilly but the house was warm! We had fun playing with the kids in the yard and they also took advantage of the games in the basement when it was too cold to ski. Overall a fantastic trip and a great house for our group!
Home was exceptionally clean, spacious and well stocked. Land was very spacious and our family dog enjoyed running around and exploring with our kids. Owner was very attentive, flexible and communicated effectively to address any inquiries. Thank you for such a wonderful and relaxing stay.
Glenn and Robin were wonderful hosts - very easy to communicate with and always ready with helpful suggestions! The home was exactly as pictured and then some, beautiful surrounding property as well. The kitchen was fully stocked with lots of pots and pans as well as both a Keurig and drop coffee maker. Having the ping pong & pool tables as well as foosball available was great - many fun tournaments were played. It was a wonderful holiday week!
We love this space and returned this year for another weekend; even extending another night from last year. Everything you could need is stocked in the house, the location to the mountain is unbeatable, and it’s so cozy! We love sitting around the table for dinner which seats 8 easily! We bbqed, made s’mores around the fire pit, and had a competitive game night! We can’t wait to return for round 3!

Great place to stay! Beautiful, spacious and updated home with amazing mountain views.
Wounderful stay! Thank you Glenn and Robin for sharing your home with us for a special Bday ski weekend!
Our family stayed here for weekend of sking at Windham in January 2017. The house was easy to find, close to town and the ski mountain. When we arrived, the heat was already on and the house was clean and welcoming inside. The bedrooms provided us with all the space we needed. The living room with a great wood burning stove and the upstairs loft with a fooseball table was great for afterskiing relaxation and fun. Our kids also loved the basement with the pool and ping pong tables.
We would definitely like to come back in the future and totally recommend this house to anyone. The views from the house were amazing!
This house was simply perfect for my group. Came up with myself plus my sons ages 17 and 19 and they brought some friends. The 5, 17 year-olds were in the very large master bedroom and they each had their own "bed"....air mattresses and a roll away. I had my own room on the first floor and my 19 year old and his friends had the second BR on the first floor as well as the loft. The games and tables in the basement kept them all occupied as well as the large yard with firepit. The house as others have said is soooo well stocked, you really don't need to worry about anything. Tons of towels and sheets....It was easy to cook in, easy to find things, easy to clean up etc! And the couches recline with the push of a button. We golfed one day and zip-lined the next.....ate some great meals nearby and had a great time......I did not want to leave. Thank you Glenn and Robin for renting us your amazing and beautiful home!
Absolutely wonderful stay. The house is very clean, the kitchen is fully stocked, the owner couldn’t have been more thoughtful, I would recommend this lovely home to anyone.
Private, quiet home with beautiful views of ski slopes
We came to ski at Windham, and found this quiet, cozy home away from the crowds but less than 5 minutes from the lodge! We woke up to gorgeous views of the slopes and surrounding mountains. The kitchen is very well equipped for real cooking. The living rooms (there are 2) have comfortable reclining couches and huge tvs for movie nights. The main living room has a lovely wood burning stove and there is plenty of firewood. There is a pool table, ping-pong table, and foosball table in the basement. There’s a jacuzzi tub in one bathroom. The bedrooms are spacious, have mountain views to wake up to, and are well stocked with extra blankets and pillows. The owner was always available, helpful, and kind. A great find!
This was the best rental house my family has ever had. We rent 3-4 places each year in different locations to spend time with one another and this one is 5 stars. All of the information and pictures are accurate which is never the case in most houses. This home felt like we were at a family members house. Close to the mountain, but a nice getaway with no interruptions. House stocked with more than basic supplies- pots,pans, ziplocs, coffee, linens, towels, soap. There was nothing we’d change, we even booked for next year just a few hours after checking out!
House was perfect! Very spacious, more than enough room for our group of 7. The house is incredibly well-stocked with towels, linens, kitchen supplies, etc. The game room in the basement is fantastic, there's a big kitchen table for everybody to eat together, and the wood burning stove in the living room is a great touch. And just five minutes from Windham Mountain--can't beat it! Looking forward to coming back!

Had a great time! Central location, house is perfect. Really does have everything you need. Family of seven, plenty of room to spread out. Faces the mountain, is less than a 5 min drive away. Hosts were kind and responsive. We look forward to returning!
It was indeed our best stay by far. The attention to details in the house can be seen in every corner if this house. Every rental property has basic amenities but Glenn and Robin made sure that they have everything more than anyone’s expectation.
The house is more beautiful than the pictures. ☺️☺️☺️☺️
