This house was the perfect place for my family, and my best friends family, to spend the weekend. We have three kids, 9,13,15 and they have a 13 year old. The plan was to spend Friday and Saturday at Stratton, but the negative temperatures (it was -20 one night with a wind chill of -45) made us adjust...and honestly the house and location made the weekend even better than we could have imagined. The location is private, and there are hills right out the front door for the kids to sled on. My son built a few jumps and we went snowboarding right where we were. And when the cold was too much we could head in for a bit. The boot/glove dryer/warmer had enough space for at least 5 pairs of boots and gloves. Plenty of space inside for everyone to spread out and relax. Watch a movie in the living room....the windows and views put you right into vacation mode (and the floors are heated!) or play board games in the room with the wood stove. The hot tub is large and an easy walk in the cold from the front door. The home was super cozy and warm. My daughter cried when we left because she had so much fun and the kids were begging to see if we could stay another day. We did get on the mountain when it warmed up on Sunday...and it rounded out one the best weekends we have ever had together as a family in Vermont. We have amazing memories and are looking forward to renting again!
