Historic Rideout 16m to Okemo Walk to Town

A @Vermont_Escapes property - Escape to Vermont with us!

New Jacuzzi hot tub installed July '23.

Escape to the historic Rideout House, a 200-year-old property listed on the national register of historic places. Immerse yourself in the rich history of this property as you step inside its doors. This expansive 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom home boasts 4,500 square feet of living space spread across 2 and a half stories, perfect for families who want to vacation together yet still have their own private spaces.

The living room, featuring wide beam reclaimed barn wood floors, welcomes you to this charming abode. The spacious and well-appointed kitchen provides plenty of light and connects to two dining areas, allowing ample space for large groups to gather comfortably.

Step outside and discover the tranquility of the backyard, where a quiet private stream and firepit provide a perfect spot for relaxation. The adjacent Cold Spring Brook Park, recently restored by the community of Weston, provides additional outdoor recreation opportunities.

Located in the heart of small-town Weston, the Rideout House is just a short walk from the world-famous Weston Playhouse and Vermont Country Store. Take a short 16-minute drive to Okemo Mountain or the town of Ludlow for even more entertainment options.

This home sits on the foothills of the Green Mountains, with Okemo (16min), Magic Mountain (11min), Bromley (17 minutes), and Stratton (41min) within easy reach. Hiking enthusiasts will delight in the endless trails nearby, while Wantastiquet pond, just a 5-minute drive up Lawrence Hill Road, provides opportunities for fishing and boating at the nearby Wantastiquet Trout Club.

Foodies will appreciate the farm-to-table offerings in nearby Weston, Londonderry, and Ludlow, with an array of innovative, delicious, and extremely fresh meals. Don't miss out on nationally recognized Grandma Miller’s bakery, just a 15-minute drive away. Summers (May-Oct) bring the local farmers market to Londonderry, adding to the array of culinary delights in the area.

Would stay here again!

Overall this was a wonderful home that feels cozy and with a lot of space! Location is good, there’s a good selection of places to visit nearby or mountains to go ski. My only real concern was that it can be quite icy getting up the hill to the parking/garage.

A fantastic weekend in this spacious, cozy home!

Our weekend stay at this home was fantastic. The spacious common areas gave us plenty of room to gather, whether we were enjoying a lazy morning coffee, playing board games late into the night, or simply unwinding after a day of skiing. David, the host, was exceptional—always quick to respond and even went out of his way to provide extra kitchenware to enhance our cooking experience. His hospitality truly stood out. If you’re looking for a place that combines thoughtful design, true hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere, look no further. Highly recommend!

Ski Vaction

We had a group of 16 people, 8 adults and 8 children with plenty of room to move around and enjoy the living spaces. It was very clean and everything worked great. We skied at Okemo which was a 15-17 minute car ride. After a long day of skiing we sat next to the fireplace (he supplied plenty of firewood) and watched the NFL football playoff games. I highly recommend this house for a ski trip.

Great stay at the Historic Rideout home

We recently had a family trip to Vermont while staying at this wonderful home! Weston Vermont is one of our favorite towns to visit when in Vermont. The home is conveniently located in Weston, close to the Vermont Country store. The handbook included in the welcome email made it easy to find and park when we arrived. Our stay here was exactlly as we wanted it to be. The home was just as decribed and exceeded our expectations! We especially loved the large Master Bedroom with wonderful views (there was a nearby large lit Christmas tree) and a large working fireplace. We had a group of 14 people and everyone had a place to sleep comfortably with a bathroom for each bedroom. The house was well stocked with just about everything we needed including firewood, pots & pans, utensils, towels, etc. Even popcorn was supplied! It was very clean and orderly when we arrived with plenty of infomation available if we needed something. We would definately visit again!

Wonderful winter getaway!

We were a large group of adults, teens and tweens and this house was perfect for our vacation! There are so many private nooks to have some alone time along with a great open family room and kitchen area to come together. We loved its charm, its coziness and variety of spaces. David was great to work with and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and book again.

Nice vacation home..!

We all had a nice stay.. All families enjoyed their stay with ample amounts of space to live, cook, eat and sleep . The kitchen was equipped with ton of kitchen utensils and other items made our life easier to cook . The place as really looked historic with all interiors , with few initial hiccups like thermostat not working and we have to swap and or charge to make it work few times as we enter the living room was super cold. Otherwise all is well. Worth for thr money we paid.Thanks Dave for being a super host, who helped me through out the stay before and during and after with a quick response for all my messages.

Perfect house for our large crowd

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this large, comfortable home in Weston! Our group totaled 10 people from 4 different families and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. The house had everything we needed to prepare and serve meals, including a grill. While the home is older, it was clean and everything was in good working order. We saw a show at the prestigious Weston Theatre and had a fun day at nearby Okemo Resort. Vermont is beautiful in the summer and our stay at The Historic Rideout couldn't have been better!

Spacious home in a nice location

Our extended family of 15 enjoyed our stay at The Historic Rideout. The house is spacious and is nicely equipped. It is in a nice quiet location with a small waterfall and park across the street which we used for a family photoshoot. The owner was very responsive to our questions. The owner provided a lot of information on the house and the area. The Vermont Country Store was a 5 minute walk away.

Great spot!

The house is fantastic, and in a great location. Despite all the floods the week before everyone on our golf trip had a great time. Just be cognitive of the neighbors at night as our small group didn’t realize they are right next door. David the host was great the house is awesome and everyone had a fantastic time! Would love to rent again with my wife and son!

Great house in a perfect location

We booked this house for our annual friend group ski trip and it did not disappoint. The house is located perfectly for travel to Okemo with it being only a 15 minute ride to clock tower base. One of the best parts of this house was the high number of bathrooms. Typically vacation houses focus on how many people can we get in one house and forget about the bathrooms. Having 6 bathrooms throughout the house was great and we never had cold water! Makes it quick and easy to get everyone through without taking too much time. Definitely will be looking at Vermont Escapes for our trip next year!

Amazing stay for large group, close to Okemo

My group of 12 had an amazing time at the house. First - it's even bigger than the pictures make it seem. Every room was cozy and comfortable (the main bedroom is HUGE), the shared spaces were also great. And don't underestimate the importance of this many bathrooms with a big group! The kitchen was perfect to cook a large group dinner. The parking is spacious and the drive to Okemo (and other nearby mountains) is straightforward and just about 15 minutes.

Great place

This house was more than large enough for 15 people (8 adults, 7 kids). Very short walk to town and 15 minute drive to Ludlow. The house itself is fantastic! Rustic floors and lots of natural light. Two streams, one in back next to fire pit with great view of surrounding hills and foliage, and another stream in front across the street. The property owner was very easy to work with and responsive.

The Rideout House provided everything needed for our stay; it was clean, comfortable, and beautiful.

I just love this house! It is tastefully decorated in a traditional New England style. Comfortable furnishings, large rooms for gathering as well as quiet spaces to read or have a conversation. The bedroom arrangement suited our multiple family group perfectly. There was separation yet family groups could be clustered near each other. Plenty of bathrooms!!!!! Some toiletries are provided, ie., bath wash, shampoo and conditioner. Plenty of towels. There is a large laundry room with detergent so one can do laundry if needed. Iron and ironing board are provided as well. We ate out at area restaurants during our stay but we did use the Keurig every morning. Kitchen was well-equipped and some family members prepared breakfast. My husband and I enjoyed the house immensely and would love to stay there again. Winter stays would be fantastic with the wood fireplaces in use.

Excellent ski weekend

We had a great 2 night stay for 8 people up for the weekend to ski Okemo. Check-in process was very smooth and we had just the right amount of communication with David. The house itself is truly unique and great for large groups (likely too much house for 8 people) and only 15 minutes to the lift. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a convenient ski weekend or stay in southern VT with family and friends.
