Wonderful Place to Stay

The house was clean and fully stocked (especially the kitchen) with all you could need. If you’re looking to be surrounded by nature and a chance to “get away” from noisy life, this is a lovely place to stay. Michele was also great to communicate with and had wonderful recommendations on things to do nearby. Definitely a 5/5 stay.

Great stay!

We had a great stay! The house was very clean and well furnished and we stayed very comfortably for a week. There were many comfy seats for curling up with a good book or napping, a great big table for us to play games during the day and enjoy meals together in the evening, and just the right amount of beds for sleeping. It was a very hot week but the air conditioners helped cool the whole house pretty well. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We would definitely recommend it to others and we look forward to staying again!

The Perfect Ski Home

Moose Tracks Lodge was the perfect home for my family and friends over Super Bowl weekend. We skied Okemo Mt, an easy 10 minute drive from the home, and it was the perfect place to come home to with a wood burning fire and cozy living room. 10 of us slept comfortably and the home was well stocked for us to cook our meals everyday. Michelle and Matthew were very attentive to our questions leading up to and during our stay. We will definitely be back to Moose Tracks Lodge.

Amazing property for a Vermont getaway

This is a fantastic house for a Vermont vacation; minutes from Okemo, ample nearby hiking trails and easy day trip to anyplace in the state other than the Burlington area. You can feel and care and joy the owners put into the house. The living room area comfortably supports a large group without feeling overcrowded, I love how all bedrooms have a nearby bathroom (either across the hall or right next door). The outside deck has a fantastic view that must look amazing in the fall. The owners are friendly and very responsive to any questions. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Excellent ski vacation

We loved the house. It was so comfortable it felt like being at home. The kitchen was fantastic with a very spacious island for prepping meals and seating at the island for pre-dinner drinks. The hosts were super responsive and accommodated an early check-in for us. Their customer service was probably the best we’ve encountered.

Great place to get away from the city

We live in NYC so it can get very loud and crowded. We chose this place specifically because of the massive property size and solidarity. We wanted to get away from the city. We haven't traveled in up to 2 years because of the pandemic. We decided to finally take a family road trip and stay in Vermont for 3 nights. We were very impressed with the size and the cleanliness of the house. The house was spotless and we were left with many additional supplies. The pantry was fully stocked, with plenty of board games, and lots of towels. Michele left a binder with things to do, places to eat, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the peacefulness. There was a rooster clucking in the background but not loud enough to wake us up. Thank you and we hope to come again in winter to try out the ski areas.

About the host

Hosted by Michele

Host profile image
We purchased this home to enjoy time with family and friends and take advantage of various nearby ski resorts, lakes, hiking trails, swim holes and a variety of other joys we are still uncovering. We love that this spot is private and truly a retreat for our family which we hope to extend to others when we are not there. This location is in the middle of quite a bit of fun in just about every direction. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property is centered in the middle of all the things we love to do. We love nature and the outdoors and wanted a private escape that would accommodate our family and friends with access to a variety of outdoor pleasures. We love the close access to multiple ski resorts, especially Okemo and Killington and wanted to be near the snow mobile trails to explore a whole new world. It only helps that our neighbor has extended a cross country skiing trail for us to enjoy, literally abutting our property.

We love the fact there is a fishing pond 3 doors down and a very popular Echo lake down the main road. We love kayaking and boating and can't wait for this summer to enjoy time. Needless to say, Camp Plymouth with its variety of hiking trails and all the nearby wildlife were huge draws for us. There's apparently a moose crossing just up the road from us where travelers park and wait for their very own moose sighting. There is also a 20 mile stream on our property that not only bolsters a nice view and backyard fishing, but sounds incredible, especially at night! We love the foliage in the fall and this location is not only beautiful to drive to, it's nearby all the leave peeping joys of Vermont. On that note, while driving around exploring the area, check out the Shires of Woodstock which are not too far and enjoy indulging in the multiple breweries, all within 30 minutes.

We are so excited about our escape and hope you enjoy it as much as we will.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property for a several reasons, first its central location to all sorts of outdoor fun in the spring, winter, summer and fall! We LOVE that the house is set up on a big sledding hill which is so exciting for our kids. There is even a natural sled ramp that’s a TON of fun. We absolutely LOVE that 20 mile stream flows through our property. It adds so much character, from the old stone wall around it to the small swimming pools it creates. Sitting up on the back deck, the sound of trickling and flowing water are so relaxing it makes you want to stay even longer. Watch sunsets from the back deck come through the trees and don't forget star gazing at night!! I can't believe how many stars we see! This location is a haven for cyclists. We also love the proximity to snow mobile trails, a well known fishing Colby pond, a popular picturesque Echo Lake and tons of hiking trails all around us. If you love the outdoors, you will love this spot!
