We had a great time. The property was clean, well organized and well thought out. Nicely themed throughout. Pet friendly. No negatives apparent. Thank you.
From ease of booking to excellent condition of property all was perfect. Beautiful serene location yet easy to get anywhere local. Our dog loved it as well :)
The cabin was spacious and well stocked. Itâs on a quiet dirt-road which made it perfect for our kids and dog to play and run outside. We really enjoyed our time close to some beautiful lakes, hikes and bike rides.
Victoria and Erica were wonderful hosts, everything was as expected and they were very responsive. Graciously arranged for extra snow plowing due to some pretty significant snowfall. Had room for three couples and kids, 10 in all, very comfortably. Would stay again!
âWe had a wonderful time staying here! The view was absolutely beautiful, and we truly enjoyed the peaceful setting. The kitchen could use some upgradesâsome of the cookware was worn, and the oven needed a little extra cleaning. If you plan to cook a lot, bringing a few favorite pots might be helpful. That said, the location and overall experience made for a great stay, and we would love to visit again!â
Our stay at Black Dog Lodge was truly great! Itâs a beautiful lodge that had everything we needed. The layout was perfect and allowed everyone a space to hang and gather. It was a treat!
We had a great time staying at the Black Dog Lodge for our February ski trip. The house was perfect for our two families (4 adults, 4 kids). The kids loved the loft space. There was plenty of space to spread out and relax. The house is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The weather was warm and we were able to enjoy the deck and outdoor fire pit. It was the perfect location to Okemo, only 20 minutes. Would definitely stay here again!
Had our first family ski trip here and it went so well, we're planning to make it an annual thing! Property was perfect for us - very clean with a well stocked kitchen and the kids loved the loft!
Black Dog lodge become our instant, very comfortable home for a long weekend for two families of 5. Kristen is a great host! Attentive and easy to communicate with
This was our first trip to Vermont and a great starting point to explore the area. Views from the second floor deck are tremendous, and the location is very private yet close enough to major roadways and local points of interest. The hosts make it an easy and relaxing experience with good communication and thoughtful amenities. We loved our stay and would return!
We had a fantastic time at Black Dog Lodge. The house is located in a quiet area which is perfect for relaxing, especially at night. The house is spacious and comfortable; there was plenty of space for all of us (8 total humans and two dogs). The house is neatly decorated, and it shows that a lot of time and love has gone into it. We enjoyed walking to the Plymouth Cheese Factory, hiking, and swimming at Buttermilk Falls. We hope we have the chance to go back next year! Thank you, Kristin, for being a great host.
The home was beautiful and so spacious. Personally next time I would pick something closer to more activities (which was an error on my planning). We enjoyed our stay so much though and did get to go to the waterfall nearby and we drove into Woodstock. Thank you so much!
We needed a place close to Bridgewater&Woodstock to visit old friends-this was perfect! We loved our downtime - relaxing on the deck and watching baseball and US Soccer! The house was clean and had room for everyone to have their own bed! Kristin was responsive and gave clear directions for check in and out. We also enjoyed visiting the nearby Calvin Coolidge site, Plymouth Cheese Factory (what a cool place!) and Long Trail Brewery even though it wasnât part of our plan!
My family and I loved our stay at the Black Dog Lodge! It was cozy, clean, and well decorated. It is perfectly situated outside of Woodstock, VT. Just to note, it is on an un-paved road on a slightly remote street with other houses scattered here and there, but we felt very safe. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for an outdoorsy adventure in VT!
The cabin was spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. Everything you needed was provided. Check-in was smooth and easy. Would highly recommend a stay here.
We were so happy with every aspect of our familyâs spring break stay at this spacious, clean gem of a home. The kitchen was well epuipped for dining in when we wanted, and the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Looking forward to a return visit!
Property is conveniently located between Killington and Okemo, which were the ski destinations for our family ski trip.
We are a family of four (myself, my wife, and two sons 18 and 21), and there was more than enough rooms and beds and plenty of space. We stayed for 4 nights (skied 3 days).
The bottom/entry level of the property has a nice open mud/snow/ski room area for ski gear. The washer/dryer is in that space as well - a nice set up for dealing with wet ski gear and outerwear. Just off that area was one of the bedrooms (room with bunk bed). Bottom floor also had a nice living/TV room area. TV is huge so you can see it from anywhere you sit in the room. There's also a wood-burning stove.
The 2nd floor has a nice high-ceiling living room space (smaller TV) with an efficiently-spaced eat-in kitchen area attached to it. The kitchen table (counter height) is a little tight but works with the limited kitchen space. The deck is directly accessible from the kitchen area. Two bedrooms are located right off the living room area.
The top floor is a loft style bedroom (half bath attached). It has 4 beds and a small TV. As pics indicate - it's a ladder-step climb to room - but seems perfect for situation with kids old enough to navigate the steps and share... or 4 young adults who just need a space to sleep and don't mind room sharing.
Some FYIs to would-be renters - the house has very good Wifi but there is no cellular service. For us, we had to get back down to Rt. 100 and drive about another mile to get it back. Not a big deal (for us) - but just something to keep in mind. The "full" bathrooms are split rooms with a toilet and then sink/shower (nice feature for a group) on the bottom and 2nd floor. There was a more-than-ample firewood supply. The beds we slept in (2nd floor and loft) were comfortable - but all of them looked OK too.
The owners were super friendly and very responsive to our questions and requests.
Lastly - and perhaps most important for any review - we would definitely consider renting this again for our next ski trip to the area. Anyone reading this with a group of 8 or so skiers looking for a house rental accessible to ski Killington/Okemo (yet tucked away from the resort hustle and bustle) - this is a great rental at a reasonable price.
One very minor suggestion to owners is to get an electric/stove kettle to boil water. Just makes it a little easier for us tea drinkers - thanks!
