Could've used more pots and pans, we cooked every meal but one. Plenty of spices and seasonings available, that was a plus! It snowed about 6” and no-one came to shovel the walkway. The driveway was plowed so that helped. Linens and towels provided. plenty of lounging space for 5 of us which was a huge plus for relaxing after a day of skiing. Overall the house served our purposes!!!

I'm so happy you had a nice time and very glad you reached out about staying again. We do try to provide plenty of cooking supplies, including pots and pans, but we can increase how many pots and pans are there (we also enjoy cooking) As far as the snow goes, as you can see from the pictures we get a lot of snow in the winter. We try to make sure the stairs are shoveled prior to your arrival and then provide salt sand and a shovels because we do typically get daily snow that we can't have someone on standby at all times. Thank you for staying with us and hope to hear from you again.

We had a great time. The property was clean, well organized and well thought out. Nicely themed throughout. Pet friendly. No negatives apparent. Thank you.
From ease of booking to excellent condition of property all was perfect. Beautiful serene location yet easy to get anywhere local. Our dog loved it as well :)

So happy you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for the review!
The cabin was spacious and well stocked. It’s on a quiet dirt-road which made it perfect for our kids and dog to play and run outside. We really enjoyed our time close to some beautiful lakes, hikes and bike rides.
Our stay at Black Dog Lodge was truly great! It’s a beautiful lodge that had everything we needed. The layout was perfect and allowed everyone a space to hang and gather. It was a treat!

So happy you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the wonderful review.
Victoria and Erica were wonderful hosts, everything was as expected and they were very responsive. Graciously arranged for extra snow plowing due to some pretty significant snowfall. Had room for three couples and kids, 10 in all, very comfortably. Would stay again!
We were so happy with every aspect of our family’s spring break stay at this spacious, clean gem of a home. The kitchen was well epuipped for dining in when we wanted, and the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Looking forward to a return visit!

Thank you for the review 👏🏻 so happy you enjoyed your stay! Hope to hear from you again. Thank you for being such wonderful guests!
“We had a wonderful time staying here! The view was absolutely beautiful, and we truly enjoyed the peaceful setting. The kitchen could use some upgrades—some of the cookware was worn, and the oven needed a little extra cleaning. If you plan to cook a lot, bringing a few favorite pots might be helpful. That said, the location and overall experience made for a great stay, and we would love to visit again!”
The cabin was spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. Everything you needed was provided. Check-in was smooth and easy. Would highly recommend a stay here.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the wonderful review. Congratulations and good luck!
Had our first family ski trip here and it went so well, we're planning to make it an annual thing! Property was perfect for us - very clean with a well stocked kitchen and the kids loved the loft!
This was our first trip to Vermont and a great starting point to explore the area. Views from the second floor deck are tremendous, and the location is very private yet close enough to major roadways and local points of interest. The hosts make it an easy and relaxing experience with good communication and thoughtful amenities. We loved our stay and would return!
Black Dog lodge become our instant, very comfortable home for a long weekend for two families of 5. Kristen is a great host! Attentive and easy to communicate with
My family and I loved our stay at the Black Dog Lodge! It was cozy, clean, and well decorated. It is perfectly situated outside of Woodstock, VT. Just to note, it is on an un-paved road on a slightly remote street with other houses scattered here and there, but we felt very safe. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for an outdoorsy adventure in VT!
We had a great time staying at the Black Dog Lodge for our February ski trip. The house was perfect for our two families (4 adults, 4 kids). The kids loved the loft space. There was plenty of space to spread out and relax. The house is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The weather was warm and we were able to enjoy the deck and outdoor fire pit. It was the perfect location to Okemo, only 20 minutes. Would definitely stay here again!
The home was beautiful and so spacious. Personally next time I would pick something closer to more activities (which was an error on my planning). We enjoyed our stay so much though and did get to go to the waterfall nearby and we drove into Woodstock. Thank you so much!
We needed a place close to Bridgewater&Woodstock to visit old friends-this was perfect! We loved our downtime - relaxing on the deck and watching baseball and US Soccer! The house was clean and had room for everyone to have their own bed! Kristin was responsive and gave clear directions for check in and out. We also enjoyed visiting the nearby Calvin Coolidge site, Plymouth Cheese Factory (what a cool place!) and Long Trail Brewery even though it wasn’t part of our plan!
We had a fantastic time at Black Dog Lodge. The house is located in a quiet area which is perfect for relaxing, especially at night. The house is spacious and comfortable; there was plenty of space for all of us (8 total humans and two dogs). The house is neatly decorated, and it shows that a lot of time and love has gone into it. We enjoyed walking to the Plymouth Cheese Factory, hiking, and swimming at Buttermilk Falls. We hope we have the chance to go back next year! Thank you, Kristin, for being a great host.
