Our Bensonwood timberfame house (also known as a post and beam house) is characterized by beautiful Douglas firm beams, towering cathedral ceilings, and a wide open main floor. The Great Room is open to the Kitchen and Dining Room. This openness makes it possible for everyone to be included in family or group discussion or activities, no matter where they are on the main level. The home has 3 bedrooms, all with queen beds, plus an additional private room with a pull-out sofa. The house can comfortably sleep 8.
The house has three levels; main, upper and lower. The main level has a magnificent “Great Room” with cathedral ceiling, many exposed beams, a fireplace, and large windows overlooking the lake. The kitchen has beautiful cherry cabinets, a large gorgeous granite counter, new stainless appliances, and breakfast counter which seats five. The dining room has a large table, which can accommodate everyone. The Great Room opens onto a beautiful deck overlooking the lake, which has stairs down to a patio and the lake.
On the upper level the master bedroom overlooks the lake. The master bath is decorated with travertine tile and has a walk-in shower. The shower has both a rain shower head and wall-mounted shower head with many different spray options. In addition we have a large “soaking tub” for relaxation. All of the bathrooms have granite countertops and travertine tile.
The loft overlooks the Great Room and has wonderful views of the lake. The loft has a sofa and TV and is a great place to escape to read or watch TV. Also the upper level has a large (24’ x 24’) “game room” with a cathedral ceiling, full bath, and a pull-out sofa. This can serve as room where kids gather to play or watch TV, or it can also serve as a fourth bedroom. We have full laundry facilities on both the upper and lower levels.
On the lower level, the “family / TV room”, with large windows looks out directly on the lake, and a patio door which opens onto a spectacular patio, also overlooking the lake. The room has a French entry door, gas fireplace, a sofa, and TV. The lower level also has two bedrooms. One bedroom on the lower floor also looks directly onto the lake while the other has a lake view. There is a beautiful bathroom with a large walk-in shower and granite counters on the lower floor.
The lower level has a laundry room, along with a second refrigerator. This is in addition to the washer-dryer we have on the upper level.

About the neighbourhood
In the summertime Lake Rescue is a perfect location to swim, boat and fish. The 'Round Pond' section of the lake is generally quiet and a wonderful spot for children and kayakers. Nearby back roads and back woods are great for bicycling and hiking. Okemo mountain offers concerts and an 'Adventure Zone', a Mountain Coaster and Mountain biking for those seeking more excitement. The Weston Playhouse has outstanding summer theater in nearby Weston.
In the fall, there is nothing more spectacular than enjoying the Vermont foliage on the nearby hills reflected from the lake.
In winter downhill skiing is available at Okemo and Killington and cross country skiing is also nearby on the lake or at the Okemo golf course.
How to get there
Home is located in Ludlow which is in central VT. We are 30 miles southwest of Rutland and 15 miles south of Killington VT and conveniently located near the intersection of Rt. 100 and Rt. 103.
