About this property

The Meadows House @ Otis Ridge w/ 7-person hot tub

Relax in a beautiful mountain setting at this 4-season ski house within walking distance of the slopes at Otis Ridge Ski Area (the best ski area south of the Vermont border). In fact, the back-yard (actually a meadow full of wildlife and flowers) used to be part of the ski area and there are still remnants of the rope-tow on the edge of the property. The long-range views off the back porch are fantastic.
The space
This house has 3 bedrooms, , 4 beds, 2.5 baths, a pull-out couch in the living room, another pull-out couch in the walk-out basement, and an electric air mattress to sleep up to 7 people. There are large flat screen TV's in the living room, master bedroom, and the walk-out basement/game room (there's a shuffleboard table, darts, and chess/backgammon table down there). There's also a large deck with half of it covered and screened in. Enjoy a warm fire in the living room or a soak in a new 7-person Artesian Spas Grand Cayman hot tub with all the bells and whistles down on a stone patio overlooking the meadow. If you're looking for relaxation, this place and the surrounding area can't be beat. Tons of great hiking, numerous lakes, and other attractions like the town of Great Barrington (20 minutes away), Tanglewood, and Jacob's Pillow are just a short scenic drive away.

Guest access
You will have access to all parts of the house, including a washer and dryer in the basement. The walk-out basement isn't shown in photos yet because I'm still putting the final touches on it, but it's 90% finished and it has a more rustic feel than the rest of the house with warm wood throughout. It has a shuffleboard table, darts, pullout couch, reclining couch, comfortable chairs, rugs, and a 65 inch TV. It should be completely finished sometime in the spring of 2024.

This house works best as a family retreat or a romantic getaway for couples. It does not work as a place to have large or loud parties as it is located within a quiet neighborhood and has new hard-wood floors. If you are considerate of other people's property, I would love to host your stay and share why my family grew up skiing Otis and why it is the best place to ski on a powder day, or just relax in nature any time of the year.

Comfy lodge in the Berkshires!
House was exactly as described - beds are incredibly comfortable - especially the king in the master bath. Lots of kitchen appliances, plates, cups, silverware- everything you would need. Location is peaceful with an easy semi circle driveway for multiple car parking, if needed. The enclosed deck is a great compliment to the outer deck. The hot tub looked beautiful, but we didn't get a chance to use it. Lars was very responsive and clear. The woodstove was the absolute topper - nice and relaxing while watching tv with friends!

About the host

Hosted by Lars

Host profile image
I'm a high school science teacher who grew up in New England and I LOVE skiing, as well as hiking, mountaineering, kite surfing, and pole vaulting. I'm a father of 2 teenagers and 4 step children who is married to his middle school sweetheart, Kristen, who also loves skiing and wind surfing. I've owned a vacation home in southwestern Vermont since 2003 and have been renting it out through VRBO since 2011. It's an old converted barn on six-and-a-half acres with stunning scenery. You can check it out by putting my property number (369494) into the search engine and read the positive reviews about me as a host. I bought this property in Otis in 2019 because it is right next to my favorite little ski area, Otis Ridge.

Why they chose this property

The Meadows House is a great place to come and relax. There are things to do in the surrounding Berkshires year-around. In the winter, you can ski the best little ski area south of the Vermont border, Otis Ridge. I raised my children skiing at Otis Ridge. It's affordable and has a great mix of terrain for everyone, including expert skiing in the woods. You can let your kids go off skiing on their own as all trails funnel back down to the lodge. My back yard used to be a ski slope at Otis Ridge. You can't see the rest of the trails from my property, but if the snow is deep enough and you are comfortable skiing through woods, it is possible to ski to the lifts from my home. The views from my home are stunning. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of opportunities for outdoor activities and many quaint small towns to explore, dine, and shop. The people in Otis are friendly and easy going. At the end of the day, you can soak your troubles away in an outdoor 7-person hot tub with colorful LED lighting and powerful therapeutic jets while overlooking the meadow where wildlife like deer, fox, turkeys, owls, hawks, and an occasional bear may come to visit. The inside of the house is comfortable, open to natural lighting, and has all the amenities to make you feel at home. You will love your stay if you decide to book. I look forward to hosting you.
