Your group will have the best vacation ever at this spacious, eight-bedroom, four-bathroom home nestled on 500 private acres in the majestic Green Mountains of Vermont. A leisurely walk from the house reveals the property’s private 22-acre lake. As the heart of the estate, the freshwater-spring-fed lake provides a picturesque scene all to yourselves. Yes, this lake is exclusively yours - no one else but your party will be allowed on it or near it while you're there. There are even two canoes and an assortment of life jackets in the boathouse for your use. And cold-weather guests can ski and hang out while sipping hot cocoa next to the toasty fireplace during the winter months.
This is the perfect vacation home for large groups. There's no need to worry about the neighbors because there are none. You'll also have plenty of parking for several vehicles. Not only does the lake feature fantastic swimming, canoeing, and fishing, but there's also a lakeside firepit and a 40-foot deck built over the lake with plenty of tables, chairs, and umbrellas. Bringing the kids? There's a swimming area marked off for them and a sandbox to keep them busy. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious play/game room, which is also a huge hit with all ages. One side of the room is for kids 10 and under, stocked with games, crafts, puzzles, and toys; the other side features a full-size pool table and a Ping-Pong table. The kitchen has a Vulcan restaurant cooking stove with six gas burners, double ovens, and a big griddle top! If you don't feel like cooking inside, we offer a large gas grill on the deck as well.
What's nearby: Besides the incredible forest and lake, you're less than 10 minutes from the Magic Mountain Ski Area, which features a 1,500-foot vertical drop and a trail over a mile and a half long for cruising. For year-round activities, head up to Okemo Mountain Resort, where you can ski in the winter, cruise on the timber coaster, work out at the fitness center, and even get in some golfing. Think outside the box and take a day trip to Orvis to learn fly fishing or try Mountain View Ranch for horseback riding - both are just about 30 miles away. Manchester is a big hit with everyone, with great restaurants, outlet shopping, and parks within a 15-20-minute drive.
Things to know: Free WiFi A 4x4 is recommended in winter Two cribs, a high chair, Pack 'n Play, and a baby gate are provided *Please, no pets and no smoking on the property
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.

If you want to focus on loved ones
this is a great place to do it. There are no high tech toys to distract you from being present with family members and being outdoors!! You could be in your own little country, surrounded by trees, mountains, and quiet.
We love the trek to the lake where you can take advantage of all kinds of water toys and tools while the kiddos chase down frogs and fish.
Had a great time . House is big and easily accommodated our group, lots of room and great space by the fireplace. enjoyed very much

Thank you for your review, Heidi. We are disappointed to hear the home was not up to the high standards of guest satisfaction and cleanliness that we hold ourselves to. Please know that the condition of the home upon your arrival does not meet our Vacasa Cleaning Standards. We are working with our local staff to address the issues in this home and appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as this helps us to improve the quality of experiences we provide for our future guests. We hope we have the chance to impress you in the future!
Great house - loved so many things about it. It was very clean. Bedrooms and bathrooms were a plenty and spaced well for having lots of people there. Loved having so much room for everyone. The grill was wonderful and the deck fit everyone (we had 14 people, 3 families with 6 parents and most of the kids are teens and older). The private lake was just phenomenal for our group and the floats and tubes and and paddle boards provided were so awesome. Would have loved AC (the week was really hot) and the kitchen pilot lights being on added a ton of heat. We communicated with the 'agent' before hand via text and got some erroneous info- they said there were no fans so we brought a bunch but there were many fans in the house. Didn't realize the house and lake were separated by a 7-10 min walk but it was nice to be in the woods so it was totally great in the end. Overall a great stay and I'd guess the place is also phenomenal in the winter!
I booked this property for over 6K spanning the Presidents' day holiday, for a 3 night 4 day stay. We are not new to booking vacation homes, we do at least 2/yr x 20 years, but this was by far the worst.
How shall I start. First off, this is the first time we didn't get functional keys to the home (not. even. a. single. one). The owners left a note on the side door that said door was open, and another note inside with a single key that supposedly would work on the side door. It did NOT work. We received separate instructions from Vacasa that there would be keys in a lockbox at the front of the house, but the entire lockbox container? was MISSING. So no keys.
On amenities, a microwave is listed. There is NO microwave, there were two toaster ovens next to each other but NO microwave. I had asked also what kind of filters the coffee maker takes in advance, there was no response for two weeks, and when I finally got into text contact with Vacasa, they told me the WRONG type. Also, the coffee maker is not the same as what is in the picture, and there's 1 not 2.
The master bedroom had a leak from the ceiling, and it was obviously an old leak that hadn't been fixed (plaster was cracked). It was a bad leak. When someone uses one of the upstairs bathrooms, it comes down as a stream over the sink.
There was 1 semi functional hair dryer in the house.
Rooms are not properly heated, it was extremely cold.
Do not book. Total lemon. Worst rental in 20 yrs.

Decent home, but terrible management
The good - the home is large, stunning, and great for 15 people. Also there is more than enough parking, though on a snowy weekend you'd want to park no more than 5-6 cars to give enough room for the snow plow.
The terrible - there was one key to the entire house, and it did not work. We tried it on multiple doors, multiple people, jimmying it in and out and it would not budge on any lock. The local management must have known this because they left the door open at check-in. Why would you leave the door open, without confirming when we were going to arrive unless you knew that there was going to be an issue opening the door? As a result, on our way out, the door locked on its own and we were locked out the home for several hours. We called the global customer service line, and they were unable to get in touch with local management until over an hour had passed by. One of our car keys was left inside the house, and as a result part of our group had to wait outside in the cold as we made repeated calls to the Vacasa customer service line and they continued to tell us they could give us no updates.
Furthermore, there was supposed to be a key to the back door in the lockbox as well, but when we put the code in the lockbox was empty. Later, when the local management team finally arrived, they let us know that a previous guest had lost the key and that they had forgotten to replace that key. That is so unprofessional - how do you have a house for 15 people and only have one key?
Lastly, the wifi did not work the entire weekend. One night is understandable for random service outages given the winter weather, but we were there for three nights and during no point in our entire stay did the wifi work at all. We had to huddle in certain parts of the house for appropriate signal to communicate with our loved ones. Just terrible. We will never book with Vacasa again.

What a gem of a place!
This place was amazing. A group of friends and I stayed here on a long weekend to go skiing at some near by mountains. It had everything you need and then some. Kitchen was amazing with the flat top and industrial range for all your cooking needs. Plenty of supplies to get us through the weekend including toiletries and much more! Plenty of space for a large group and highly recommend!

Great family fun
We are a multi-generational group. Justin lake lodge has accommodations and activities for all of us.
The photos posted don’t do the house any justice. The house is actually much larger and spacious in reality which accommodated our large group more than enough. The kids had the whole upstairs as their entertainment space while the adults had the downstairs to themselves. The house provided sleds and tons of games for the kids to keep themselves occupied. The kitchen is huge and an awesome space to prep meals for a large crowd. The house provided us with all the essentials as well such as paper towels, toiletries, even shampoos, hand soaps, disinfectants any many more items that are not always common in rental properties.
If we’d had to list one critique it would be that the property could have been a tad cleaner - not that is was dirty but compared to other properties it wasn’t as clean I.e smudges on mirrors and windows.
But overall we loved the property!

Annual Family Vacation
I was impressed with the layout - each group of bedrooms had its own bathroom making showering and using the bathrooms really convenient. The outdoor area and the size of the deck was lovely. And the lake was absolutely amazing. Having a lake to yourself doesn’t even seem like something that would be possible. That was super cool. The amount of “starter” supplies like paper towels, toilet tissue, dish detergent were very generous and much appreciated as well as having the linens and towels supplied ♥️
But the things that are necessary when having a large group stay were lacking - Like a functioning clothes dryer and non-leaking refrigerator/freezer. While the evenings were cooler and more comfortable using the fans supplied, being in the house during the day was quite warm, especially in the kitchen while preparing 2-3 meals a day…air-conditioning units throughout the house during summer will help everyone’s comfort level.
Part of the rental fee is for the cleaning service and that service was lacking particularly with the condition of the refrigerator/freezer…both were quite dirty and smelled. We spent at least one and a half hours cleaning it before we could put any of our food in it. We also weren’t pleased with the dirty pans and mixing bowls in the cabinets! We had to wash most things before we could use them. The shelves in the one cabinet available to store our non perishable items was full with half used items, so that had to be cleared out and cleaned before we could use it. All that being said, once we were settled in, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others as long as those issues are rectified.

This home was very spacious and clean. We enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace and roasting s’mores. The property and view is beautiful! We had such a great time playing pool and ping pong as well in the upstairs room. This was a great place to stay for a weekend getaway.

Relaxing Weekend Getaway!
What a great home! I loved how secluded it was from any neighbors. I enjoyed relaxing out on the deck, and down by the pond. The close proximity to Lowell Lake State Park offered nice walking trail right from the front door. I would definitely stay again, and recommend to all!

Hi Madan, thank you for your review. We apologize for the issues you experienced during your stay with us this summer. We have added additional staff to assist our guests quickly with any questions or concerns they have. Please note that this home does have partial AC and additional fans have been added. The kitchen has been checked for any odor following your stay and we are happy to report that no odor was found - it's very possible that if the gas grill was used during your reservation this was the source of the smell. This home is located in an area where we hope our guests will take time to explore the great outdoors as internet service will not be very strong this remotely. We hope to host you again, soon, for a more enjoyable stay.

Beautiful setting
If you are looking for a relaxed, rustic location to enjoy beautiful nature with your family this is it. My grandkids found a new passion for fishing and the paddleboat was a winner! There was plenty of space to spread out in the home and the large stove was great for cooking big family meals. The private lake was so peaceful. We absolutely loved our stay and made many wonderful memories. Thank you!
