We loved staying here and Diana was a great host! The space fits large groups comfortably. We mainly went to snowboard/ski and loved how close we were to the slopes (not even a 5 minute drive). Definitely will come back!

College reunion

We used this property for our college reunion, including both kids and adults. It was the perfect space! Lots of areas to just hang out and ample sleeping space. The yard was fantastic and the location can’t be beat. We walked to the farmers market and the kids enjoyed the park across the street. Highly recommended!!

Great communication. The house had everything we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen. Plenty of room for our 16 guests - huge kitchen table and multiple living rooms. Very close to restaurants/bars (walkable, although quite cold in winter) and Okemo (less than 5 min to Clocktower). If you're looking for a 5-star/high end rental, this isn't for you. However, if you're looking for a clean house with everything you'd need for a great vacation with a ton of family and friends, at a reasonable price, this is your rental. We will likely be back in the future and have already recommended it to friends.

Great space!

As advertised and with Covid limiting dining out options, the huge well-equipped kitchen (2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, enough dishware and cutlery to feed a small army) was a real plus. Owner communication was outstanding. This stay was worth a repeat!

Great extended weekend

We have a group which tries to get away to Vermont once a year. This was actually our second stay at the Base Lodge (first was in 2022). The property has plentiful accommodation and a great interior space just a short walk from central Ludlow. We also appreciate the quiet back yard amenities at the Lodge. The owners were very responsive during our stay, answering questions promptly and keeping track of our needs. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect Family Reunion House!

We hosted a large family reunion recently and this house was perfect! It is well furnished with plenty of space to spread out and for multiple conversations and activities to be ongoing simultaneously. The location is great with a lot to do and see within easy driving distance. The proximity to groceries, etc. is a big plus! Diane and Jeff, the homeowners, were wonderful and easy to work with. Our entire family enjoyed their week long stay and we highly recommend Base Lodge. Peggy - Virginia Beach, VA

Easter stay

A large group of 10 adults and 12 kids ranging from 1 to 14 stayed at the lodge over Easter. The house had a fully equipped kitchen (including 2 dishwashers, 2 ovens and 2 fridges) that allowed us to cook multiple meals and easily clean afterwards. The house is centrally located and we could walk to restaurants, shops and the grocery stores. The hot tub and the pool table provided ample entertainment to the extend that the kids didn't even watch TV. Thank you very much for hosting us!

Great place for a big group

We were a group of 14 adults, 13 kids and 1 dog. Base lodge was big enough to accommodate us comfortably. Kitchen and dining room was spacious and well stocked. All the appliances were great! Its walking distance to downtown and shaws which was useful. Overall we had a great time at the base lodge. One thing that we missed is an exhaust in the kitchen. We had to open a few windows every time we cooked which made it cold. Also a minor issue was that the wifi range was pretty limited.

Great experience overall, the house is extremely close to the mountain and is massive. I would absolutely stay here again, great communication and the hosts are very accommodating. The floors creak, but it’s a small price to pay for how large and convenient the place was for us.

Lifetime memories

Base Lodge surpassed our expectations. The size and layout of the lodge is ideal for a large group. The three spaced apart common areas gave everyone an area to enjoy in smaller groups. The dining room comfortably seated all of us. The size of the kitchen lends itself to several people cooking at once. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, playground across the street and nearby skiing. We hope Base Lodge becomes an annual tradition.
