Location: Stowe, Vermont, USA (45 Minutes from Burlington Airport)

Accommodations:  Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)

We purchased this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo because we fell in love with the location and with the light filtering in through the large windows. When not in Vermont we live in Costa Rica and we have gotten used to sun and bright spaces. After renting one of these condos we decided it was the perfect place for our visits back home.

The condo building only has 12 units; it is located on 4 acres of open lawn and large conifers. Looking out of any of the windows one sees sky and pine trees; no mountain views, but the scenery is tranquil and comforting. These condos are older than most, and so lack some of the newer shared amenities like spas and tennis courts. But we hop out of bed and 20 feet away is the six mile Stowe recreational path. We can bike or walk into town to buy a cup of freshly brewed coffee in a cafe on Main Street where we just sit back and enjoy the beauty of this quintessential Vermont village.

Or, we hop out of bed and walk across the street to The Harvest Market or walk a mile to the "Swimming Hole Health Club" where we can take yoga classes, swim in their delightful pool or sign up for any one of their varied classes. Restaurant options abound and the Stowe Cinema is a mile down the road (one of the few cinemas where you can order a drink and have it served while you watch the latest Hollywood feature). Best of all, for the skier aficionados, we are only 5 minutes from The Stowe Mountain Resort where you can ski or board the classic and historic Mt. Mansfield or the gentler, sunnier Spruce Peak. It’s all about location, location, location.

And it’s all about “home away from home” in an affordable situation. Because this our home when we are in the States, we want it to feel like a home, not like a cookie cutter, homogeneous rental condo. We have completely remodeled one bedroom and both bathrooms. The bathrooms have radiant floor heating and one has an extra deep bathtub and the other a glass enclosed shower. There's a new Sony HD TV and Blu-ray DVD.
The rooms are decorated with personal items from our travels. It’s not the Taj Mahal, but we think you will love to hunker down, ski, hike, bike, swim in the cool clean river located behind the condo (or in the pool if you don’t want to meet up with any beavers or frogs) and enjoy this condo as a base for your vacation in beautiful Vermont.

You probably already know why you chose Stowe as your vacation rental: it’s the “Ski Capital of the East”, the Stowe Bike Path is a magnet for recreational bikers and walkers, and the village is picture perfect. But if you want any advice or suggestions, we would be glad to share with you our favorite restaurants, special haunts and little known foliage tours.

  • What I look for in a Vacation Rental is a good location and a clean place. What you get from Nancy and Paul is super nice accommodating owners, a great location, clean, neat, huge windows with lots of sunlight, comfortable seating, comfortable beds, nice linens and towels, new bathrooms, and a fully functional kitchen with ample seating around the dining room table. Got all that? Throw into the mix a flat screen tv, WiFi, the ipod with a great song selection and a snack on the table when we arrived (we got the fresh baked sour cream cake) and we ended up with our best vacation in Stowe yet. Thank you so very much. Hope to be back again.

  • We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend in Stowe. There was a delicious loaf of VT bread & cheese which was delightful. The condo was very comfortable making it hard to step outside. In addition, Nancy & Paul made the entire renting process a snap. The information booklet was thorough, and helpful. We look forward to staying at their place come next winter ski season.

  • Renting Paul and Nancy's condo was definitely one of the easiest experiences I've had in the "renting winter getaways" department! Booking the condo was a very smooth transaction, as well as getting into the condo once we arrived. The fresh baked "Paul's famous brownies" were an amazing treat after the 6 hour drive we had. The condo is so comfortable! As soon as I sat down on the couch after settling in, I felt as if I were at home. The bathrooms so nice and new and have tile warmers! The windows and amount of light during the day was also great. They have everything you need in the condo as well. We cooked dinner every night there without any untensil, etc issues. The location is amazing. A 2 minute walk to the Rusty Nail for apres ski and not even 10 minutes drive to Mt. Mansfield. I can't say enough positive things about the condo and its owners. I hope to be back again soon!!

  • I just returned home from a beautiful, snowy Vermont winter weekend that was just spectacular. While the scenery and skiing was great, it was made even more enjoyable by the accommodations we rented for our weekend. As soon as you walk into this condo you immediately feel at home. From the artwork on the wall to the books in the library, to the waiting fresh baked bread, you are made to feel comfortable for the entire stay. The recently updated master bath is magnificent. The location is one of the best in town. A short ride up Mountain Rd. from the village of Stowe and less than 10 minutes from the best skiing around. I can't wait to visit again.
