Killington/Okemo, Firepit, private dock! Our newly renovated lakeside "camp" is the perfect place for an active yet relaxing Summer/Fall getaway or a fun-filled Winter retreat! In this area, a "camp" is typically a minimalistic 3-season dwelling, but since its renovation the property is a "camp" no longer! Although it still has a private and secluded vibe, it is anything but minimalistic. The renovations focused on a clean, modern design with particular attention to highlighting the beauty of the lake itself. Numerous windows/sliders on all three floors give breathtaking views of the lake, and during the warmer months you have a private dock for fishing, swimming, kayaking and lounging. As an added bonus, Camp Plymouth State Park is only one mile away and has a beach, playground and water activities. Winter months are just as fabulous, with Killington and Okemo resorts nearly equidistant from the house. If skiing and riding aren't your thing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing are other popular activities that are readily available. Don't forget that a firepit during any season is the perfect night cap! This is a very special place and we hope you can enjoy it as much as we do! It is a mix of modern luxuries and "camp" vibes of days past. There is something for everyone at the Amherst Ski and Lakeside Retreat! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a hospital - On a lake ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Golf - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Table tennis - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,900 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99810000/99800100/99800069/9322c454.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront cabin with dock, hot tub, fire pit!!

We had a great time at Camp Amherst with my wife and family of three. There was lots to do with the house and it was a short 20 minute drive to Killington where we snowboarded every day. The host was more than gracious as we accidentally had put a hole in the wall, but we were able to amicably settle this quickly. She was always available and communicating throughout our stay.

We made many memories in the kitchen cooking up warm meals after a day on the slopes. Kitchen is bare (only salt pepp and EVOO), so bring everything you need for spices. 15 minute easy drive from killington. Waking up to a snow covered lake every morning was majestic.

They were super responsive and accommodating before we even arrived and went above and beyond to offer recommendations for activities our family would enjoy in the area. And they attended to and resolved any questions immediately when they arose. As for their home…it is beautifully and thoughtfully remodeled with really nice appliances and fixtures. Beds and furniture were comfy and spotless. The main level is surrounded by windows, so natural light and views of the woods and lake are everywhere, and truly give you the feel that you are away from it all. Sure, you have to drive 15 minutes to the nearest grocery store. But the drive is beautiful and allows you to get out, explore and get to know the area. Our kids loved fishing right off the private dock. And another gem was the small state park beach just a mile down the road where you can rent paddle boats, canoes, kayaks and SUPs for use on the adjacent Echo Lake. We felt so comfortable in this home and were sad to leave. It’s a special little spot. ##### sarah s.

We just returned home after our stay at Camp Amherst. What a great experience! The house was immaculate, solid, comfortable and fully stocked. It was easy to get in and out; equidistant to Rutland and Woodstock; setting was stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We are in our 50s, traveling with our 7yo son and my husband's parents in their late 70s. Everyone found Camp Amherst to be perfect for us. It has a VERY USEFUL mudroom upon entering -- everyone loved this! There are separate heat units in every room, not that we needed them -- this place is tight as a drum! No drafts at all. We actually turned the heat completely off on the second floor at night because we like to sleep cool. Despite being in the teens outside, we were still cozy overnight. Turning off the heat had the added benefit of turning off the white lights on each unit -- pitch black sleep! We loved that each bedroom upstairs has its own bathroom. The king mattress is memory foam, while the three twin mattresses are lighter with a more bouncy feel. Lots of pillows and towels. ALL the linens in this house were luxurious, including the bed quilts, the sheets, the pillows, the towels. Cooking and dining was very easy. Plenty of space to prep and serve food. Dish liquid, paper towels, hand soap, sponges, trash bags -- all were supplied. We all enjoyed the body wash, shampoo and conditioners installed in the bathrooms. And the radiant floor heating was awesome! Great vacation spot! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claus H. 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun 4th of July weekend Great house and location for a weekend getaway. Our family of six (teenagers) loved the lake more than the adults. The lake is small and no motor boats. House is super clean, very new and modern, great layout with a pingpong table downstairs. All appliances, plates, cups, pts and pans are really good (much better quality compared to your usual rental place)! Host is very responsive and welcoming, just likening should be :) ##### Claus H.

The property is extremely clean, had everything that you would need, beautiful woodwork/carpentry, and well laid out. We skied at Killington, and the trip was easy to the base lodge. I highly recommend. Thank you, Jess! ##### Libby J.

Secluded and located in beautiful setting on the lake yet only 12-13 minutes ride to okemo mt. The property is clean and new and extremely comfortable and the owner is very responsive and easy to get in touch. We truly enjoyed our Vermont winter vacation. ##### Martina K.

Did not use the lake or kayaks so can not comment on that. Convenient for the hiking and golf we wanted to do. Only comment, and nothing against the house. Like many ski areas, food choices are limited and not the most healthful. Should have gone into Woodstock more for dining ##### Brad B.

Very comfortable and spacious with many amenities. The host is incredibly attentive. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking and swimming. It was a great spot! ##### Wendy K.
