Nice place. Close to skiing
Nice place for our weekend ski trip to Okemo. Kids enjoyed having their own rooms. The kitchen was well-stocked (thanks for the coffee and cream!) and the bathroom soaps were a welcome surprise. The house is connected to the main house and shares a wall, but no access. If arriving at night, the yellow house is the right place. Just head towards the back of the house, and you’ll be all set! Overall, the place was great. We would be delighted to stay again!
