Lake Rescue Chalet - 6-Bedroom Lake & Ski House with Hot Tub

Spring skiing is here & conditions are great! Reserve 2 or more nights til 4/15 for 25% off! Use code SPRING25.

Lake Rescue Chalet is a large, cozy vacation rental chalet steps from Lake Rescue in southern Vermont, just minutes from Okemo and Killington ski resorts. The house can be reached by driving 4 hours from NYC or 3 hours from Boston.

This cozy chalet has a glorious outdoor hot tub to sink into after a hard day skiing nearby Okemo or Killington. With 6 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, and 2 living/dining areas w/gas fireplaces, there’s plenty of room for up to 12, plus two pack-n-plays with sheets. The private dock on Lake Rescue, a short walk up the road, has 4 kayaks and a canoe available for your use in summer.

The house is just 4 miles from Okemo’s Jackson Gore area and 12 miles from Killington’s Skyeship. Other nearby ski mountains include Pico, Magic Mountain and Stratton.

Lake Rescue Chalet sleeps 12 people on two levels that each feature full open-floor-plan living areas – including a kitchen/living/dining room – and three bedrooms apiece! Upstairs and down are connected by a custom-crafted wood-and-wrought-iron spiral staircase (with a child-safety gate at the top), and each level has its own bathroom, gas fireplace and large-screen smart TV. It's a terrific home for families and friends who want to spend time together but also cherish their privacy. They relax in the hot tub, barbecue on the huge front deck, watch the great blue herons that live just over the ridge, play volleyball in the yard, roast marshmallows over the fire pit or just nap in a hammock in the woods.

The only thing that beats taking a canoe out on a misty summer morning is screaming down a ski slope after a fresh snowfall.

Four-Season Fun

WINTER: The snow is thick and the winters are cold in winter in Vermont-- perfect for skiing, snowboarding, sledding, ice skating, snowmobiling or just building a snowman. There are nine ski areas within 40 miles.

SPRING: Flowers burst into a jumble of audacious color in May, and its reputation as Mud Season because of the snowmelt means you can escape to Vermont for bargain prices.

SUMMER: Enjoy the Black River and 200-acre Lake Rescue, where we have a private dock with five boats – a canoe and four kayaks – a two-minute walk from the front door. There is boating, fishing, swimming, birdwatching (we have a resident loon couple as well as an eagle pair), and just lounging on the dock in colorful Adirondack chairs. Several golf courses are nearby, as well as hiking trails, bike riding, historic sites, scenic New England towns to explore, shopping and more.

FALL: Fall foliage season in Vermont means spectacular hiking, shopping, and breathtaking leaf-peeping drives on scenic Vermont 100.

The address is 26 Benson Point Rd, Ludlow, VT
https://goo.gl/maps/5hErhjVrWZz

9% VT lodging tax, and a $200 cleaning and hot tub fee will be added to total rent, as well as a CSA travel insurance payment.

A ONE-WEEK rental is required in July and August, Saturday to Saturday.

FALL FOLIAGE season is also very popular and has a $200 surcharge for the weekend or week.

IN WINTER -- Lake Rescue Chalet is just 3.5 miles from Okemo Mountain Resort and 11 from Killington Skyeship. It is available as a winter seasonal rental, or for winter weeks and weekends.

Decent stay but lots of rules
I recently rented a weekend stay here at the Chalet for a ski trip with friends, and overall, it was a decent experience. One of the highlights was the location, conveniently situated by the mountain and easy to navigate to and from. However, there were several drawbacks to note. Firstly, the bathrooms were disappointingly tiny, with only two available for the entire six-bedroom property, which caused some inconvenience. Additionally, the hot tub was a letdown as it was only lukewarm at best, and maintaining even that temperature required keeping the jets off, which defeated the purpose of having a hot tub. The owner did refund us $50 for the inconvenience. Moreover, there were numerous rules to follow that seemed excessive compared to standard rental expectations. Although a cleaning fee was already included, checking out required lots of instructions on cleaning up (not to be confused with tidying up).While it wasn't a terrible stay, it wasn't as relaxing due to all the rules.

Amazing!!
The property was amazing, felt very private even with neighbors fairly close by. It was perfect for our group, close to Okemo Mountain for skiing l, and had enough space to entertain everyone after a full day. Each floor was its own little apartment so would be great for multiple families. It was clean, cozy, and the hot tub was an essential part of a post-skiing day. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa

Host profile image
Bob and Lisa lived in New York for two decades, bringing our kids up to this house for summers and ski weekends. We moved to Colorado for a few years, and we are now retired and traveling the world. We get back to Vermont as often as we can! One child is now in college in Burlington and the other in grad school in England.

Why they chose this property

We love Lake Rescue Chalet because of its access to Okemo Ski Resort in winter -- just five minutes down the road -- and to Lake Rescue in summer for swimming, boating, fishing, and birdwatching. We like its homey, woodsy feel, and the flat yard for volleyball and other fun activities. We love to sit around the fire pit toasting marshmallows at the end of the day. The lake is entrancing with its bird population, particularly the loons with their haunting cries, and the bald eagle family that makes its home near Discovery Island.

What makes this property unique

We love that the lake is just a two-minute walk, so we never had to worry about kids stepping outside and drowning when we weren't looking. We added two huge decks in the front and the back so that we could truly live outdoors. The hot tub feels like a wonderful luxury. We also love the two living areas so that we can send the kids downstairs to watch their movies while the adults hang upstairs sometimes.
