Wonderful

Great location, close to Okemo and downtown Ludlow. House was perfect for our group of friends…large dining table, downstairs was plenty of space for card games and ping pong, and bedrooms were comfortable. Only downside to our stay was that it was difficult to get in touch with someone prior to our arrival since the property is managed by Vacasa…required a few phone calls to put in an early check in request.

Thank you ofr the review of your stay with us. We are so glad you enjoyed our home! We apologize for the issue you had with contacting our staff. We hope you choose to stay with us again!
Spacious home with a gorgeous view of the lake. Spent most of my time at the huge dining room table with that view while the rest of the fam went skiing. Gorgeous stone fireplace and so much entertainment: board games, ping pong table and WiFi. Perfect location to get to Killington and Okemo. The road to get to the house is definitely tricky…lots of potholes and deep mud ruts. AWD/4WD is a MUST.
It may be an issue with Vacasa App, but communication was an issue. We tried to email about what to do to prep for (nor’easter) and never received response. We were unsure of where to park in case plow showed up.
Property itself was great! Convenient to skiing and heated floors in basement were wonderful!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Elizabeth. We are sorry to hear you had concerns during your stay and that you had difficulties reaching our team. We are pleased to hear that it did not alter or hinder your stay. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
The lake was great. House was lacking cleaniness. Downstairs bathroom needed the sink faucets replaced. Should of been done before renting. No place to put over flow garbage without animals getting into it. Had to leave in house which wasn't ideal. We cooked all our own meals and we're lacking in cook wear. Overall we made the best of it.

Great house with a lovely view!
With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2 1/2 baths, our party of 7 adults a toddler and an infant had plenty of room.
The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, spices, oil, coffee filters and more! The table was huge!

Great family getaway
We had an amazing time staying at Lakeside Elegance. Waking up to beautiful Lake Rescue all week was a great start to every day. My family enjoyed the ping pong table and the on-site kayaks. This home had everything we needed for the week (I actually way overpacked!). Great hikes just a short car ride away, great small farmers market in Ludlow on Friday evenings (make sure to try the Apple honey pizza!), and don’t forget to try the local maple creamees; a traditional Vermont treat!! I would highly recommend this home and stay there again!

Outstanding spring fishing trip
Could not have asked for more from this lake front rental. Coffee on the dock, kayaking at sunset, and ping pong tournaments in the evening. A perfect weekend.
Great Lake house smack on the water. Basement was a bonus with pool table and ping pong table—both a huge hit with kids. Plenty of room. There’s no air conditioning but there were lots of fans and basement made it bearable. We happened to hit Ludlow during bizarre heat wave. Fire pit as well. Overall a great stay.

Great house...dirty showers
The house was large and comfortable with a gorgeous view. It is truly an amazing location. Overall, the house was clean except the showers in both full bathrooms were really dirty. It would be so easy to clean these and make the house a better experience. Overall, I would recommend this house...just ask them to scrub the showers before you arrive.

Could be a gem but has significant safety & maintenance issues
Our vacation was interrupted by dealing with safety issues with the property management company. Exposed wires, broken screens, 2 inch gaps in floor along side bed, significant tripping hazards due to extremely high thresholds. Couldn't open the windows because of missing or damaged screens and temperature reached 90 degrees. Bathroom faucet was not attached. Ants in kitchen. Grass was knee high and was not cut until halfway through the week. Dock had loose and warped boards. Construction debris on south side of house. Closets were packed full of personal items - no rods; no hangers. Contacted property management group several times and provided photos. The only resolution solved was getting the grass cut. I would not recommend renting through Vacasa or this specific property unless you want to be disappointed.

Hi Sandra. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We can confirm that every issue mentioned has been addressed by the owner and our local manager. The wires are not exposed and are not a hazard to our guests. The screen door frame had been warped due to moisture, thus, leading it difficult to open. This has since been fixed. The bedroom floor gap was inspected by our maintenance technician and they confirmed that the small crack is not a tripping hazard. Every window comes with a crank that allows our guests to open the windows for fresh air. We understand your concern about the sink faucet. To clarify, the faucet and sink were built into an old desk, so, unfortunately, there is no good way to secure the faucet. However, it is completely functional. Ants are very common in this area. We have regular pest sprays scheduled to address this problem. The lawn has been cut. We have regular landscaping scheduled to address this. Unfortunately, our landscaper is only able to complete yard work when the home is vacant. We apologize for the inconvenience. The dock has some warped boards due to moisture, however, this is very common and is not a safety hazard to our guests. The home does have the owner's personal items in a closet. This is because the home is frequently used by the owner and their family. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused you. Thank you for staying with us.

Beautiful and comfortable
This home had so much of what we were looking for. The lake was clean, clear and had lots of fish! The kayaks and maui mat made the trip active and fun for the entire family. The views of the lake were great from inside the home. The house had comfortable beds, a beautiful kitchen, and it was well cleaned upon our arrival.
Charming, spacious cottage with drop dead foliage and lake views.
We are 6 bicycling Boomers (from WA State) who have stayed in several Vermont Inns and Airbnb’s over the past 10 years and this sparkling clean cottage was by far our favorite! The photos are accurate. The fireplace gorgeous. Lots of comfortable seating and areas to spread out. It is on a very private lot that was easy for us to find. The kitchen was so well stocked we were able to prepare our own Vermont locally sourced feasts. Don’t miss the Vermont Butcher Shop in Londonderry. For restaurants... get a reservation at “Downtown Grocery.” Yes, there are a few updates on the cottage in progress, but nothing at all in our way. HIGHLY recommended spacious Vermont cottage.

Gorgeous Spot on Rescue Lake
Stayed at this most beautiful home for our honeymoon with some friends and family. The house had everything we needed and more …. plus a spectacular view of Rescue lake. Everything was neat and clean and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.
