Waitsfield house description
Beautifully restored 200-year-old farmhouse in the Waitsfield Common Historic District. Features original pine floors, beamed ceilings, restored woodwork, a vintage fully functioning Glenwood gas stove, sturdy characterful antiques and modern amenities. It's charming, quiet, warm, and cozy.
Located minutes from Waitsfield in a rural meadow location on one of the most beautiful roads in the world - treasured for walking and biking. There are enchanting perennial gardens, an organic vegetable garden, an old apple orchard in the back, and great views of the mountains across the meadow.
A short drive to top ski resorts; minutes to the quaint historic town of Waitsfield well-known for its craft shops, antique stores, terrific restaurants and cozy coffee shops; cross-country skiing and snowshoeing out the back door.
Also a lovely rental for wedding parties and guests; just minutes away from the Skinner Barn and the Round Barn, favorite wedding venues in the valley.
This home is an extraordinary place for a quiet retreat or home base for the wide range of activities the Mad River Valley offers in all seasons.

My wife and 2 teens stayed here this January while skiing. As it turns out the skiing was less than great but our little farmhouse but the trip worthwhile. It provided all the necessary amenities except a modern TV, which we seldom watch anyways but some may miss. A very well equipped kitchen for those that like to cook. One of the beds is a little soft but our flyweight daughter didn't seem to mind. Deb, the owner, lives on site and terrifically knowledgeable. Enough space to spread out in, where everyone can find their own corner. Would not hesitate to return and very highly recommended!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

I just returned from a three day stay here with my wife and ten-month old baby - we had such a great time in the house and the owners couldn't have been nicer. The house is nicely decorated and has a welcoming feel from the minute you enter - old pine floors, rustic beams, slate counters, and furniture to match - and the place was spotless. Also, very close to town, Round Barn, The Green Cup, swimming, etc. Our son was in heaven! Couldn't have asked for a better spot. Thanks for a memorable weekend stay.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

My boyfriend and I rented this farmhouse for three weeks in June and had a wonderful trip. The house is fantastic. We were able to do some work (we are academics; I finished an article and my boyfriend finished the revisions on his book) and able to enjoy the Mad River Valley. The location is perfect -- close to everything in Waitsfield but nicely quiet up on the common. We can't wait to come back.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers, people with disabilities.

I stayed here for two weeks in May, and I enjoyed every minute. The house is just as beautiful as the pictures show. It's located out of town just enough to feel like a retreat but plenty close enough to run in for the paper. The owners are a joy. I would stay here every time I'm in the area.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.

We loved this house - and the property. It is an amazing old home, lovingly and artistically restored. The gardens are fantastic and there are even mountain views. The owner - who was in residence in an adjoining part of the house - couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. It's on a quiet street, near an old common, so though it isn't really off the beaten path it feels as though it is. We highly recommend this property!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.
