Sufficient
The place was very clean and had the basics that you need. Beds were comfortable and sufficiently dressed. (Although I took my own pillow and was thankful for that choice) They provided a base level of toilet paper and paper towels, so that was nice that we didn’t have to rush to the store immediately. Ski in/ski out is debatable: you have to walk across a very muddy parking lot cross over the street and then, there is a trail access. It was flat, so it would’ve been even OK for small children to make this trek. But that’s a “short walk” not “ski/ski out”. If there had been fresh snow, one could argue that you could potentially ski home or cross country ski out so that’s a gray area for certain. But we had our three adult children and our eldest’s spouse with us so it worked fine for us. Our only real complaint would have been with the kitchen amenities. Being as there is not many places to eat out in Ludlow you really do need these areas to be on point and I found them to be a bit worn/too old to really function well. The appliances haven’t been replaced since the 1970s which made for a very painfully slow electric coil to heat up even just the kettle for tea. And all of the pots and pans are still revereware that the handles started to smell like burning plastic when I tried to make a roast in the oven and had to make shift something oven safe out of a cake pan with foil. The nonstick on all of the frypans was so damaged that I wouldn’t even use them for fear that those flakes would stick in our food. Thankfully there was an electric griddle. So if you’re going to eat out a lot, this place will be perfect for you, but if you’re going to cook, I would consider something with a more modern kitchen. All in all we had a wonderful stay. Plenty of firewood as well as seating next to the fire and it was a cozy location sufficient for the week. I will keep my review at five stars because aside from the kitchen, everything else was as advertised. I’m not going to dock the entire experience for a few minor inconveniences, but have left them here so that you can make your own opinion based on what you need. It wasn’t glamorous but it was sufficient.
