Glenn and Lynne, Thanks you for the use of your home. We had our daughter’s wedding at the Ponds and your home was just the perfect place for pictures with our entire family. We truly enjoyed the views and ALL the snow. We did get to ski one day and it was the best skiing. Your new bathroom and fireplace is beautiful and we spent many nights talking with the family by the fire. Thank you so much and your home and everything was what my daughter dreamed her wedding to be. Thank you, Phil and Sue PADid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Lynne and Glenn, This has been truly magical stay for us at Bolton Valley. Instead of Christmas presents this year my parents decided to take me, my siblings and or significant others on a ski trip. What a great idea. A few of our family members thought so as well, so they came up and stayed in hotel nearby. We all hung out in the house in the evenings after skiing/boarding all day and cooked dinner together, played games and sang songs, before we all got sleepy and climbed into bunk beds. Whispers before drifting off to sleep reminded me of camp and made me feel like a kid again. It was my boyfriends first time snowboarding on this vacation. This was quite an amazing thing for me to experience. We got him lessons his first half day and I stayed close to him, watching tumble after tumble. It truly a joy to see that by the end of third day on the mountain he was able to keep up with all experienced skiers and boarders and even landed a few jumps. I was sooo proud. Thanks you so much for this beautiful home to stay in. We had a blast.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Dear Glenn and Lynne: Thank you very much for allowing us to stay on your condo. We had an awesome time and it has become one of those unforgettable experiences. It is a beautiful place and for this short time we could call it home. Everything was as it was described on the internet page; very clean, beautifully furnished, comfortable kitchen and living room, spacious rooms with their own private bathrooms. Having the ski resort so close was amazing even when there are kids. The view was amazing and the sunsets seen from the house were beautiful. Thank you again for allowing us to stay there. We hope that in the future we can stay again.Owner response: Thanks, we saw that the kids had a blast, very nice igloo out the back door.

Our family moved to Vermont from out-of-state and needed a temporary place to stay while looking for our permanent first home. We are so thankful that we found Glenn & Lynne's condo - it was perfect for our family of 5 adults for our two month stay. SO roomy, very clean, plenty of sleeping space, 3-1/2 baths, very quiet, beautiful views - it has it all. We felt right at home, and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and comfort of the condo. Glenn & Lynne Browning were very accommodating landlords and very easy to do business with....communication with them was always prompt. We are going to recommend their condo to family members that come to Vermont to visit us in the future. Thanks, Glenn & Lynne!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

"Lynne and Glenn, A month at BV! This is a repeat visit and again we had a wonderful stay. The condo fill all our needs. Family visited from NJ and Ohio. Skiing was great-over four feet of snow arrived during our stay. WOW. Lots to see in the area-great restaurants & Church St was nice.

Our party of 4 adults and 2 children coudn't have been happier with this townhouse and Bolton Valley. It's always nerve wracking to rent a place that you are not familiar with, but let me assure you that this place is well worth it. We had more than enough room with the king bedroom on the top floor, and the queen bedroom and bunk room on the first floor. Every amenity you could ask for (and then some) was provided: TV's in every room (with a full complement of kids channels), full bath for every bedroom, views to die for from every window, plenty of bath towels and kitchen appliances. The condo was perfect, and just as described on the website. It was very clean and everything seemed new (I personally loved the washer/dryer, it's a million times better than mine!) and perfectly maintained. We were not expecting to have soap and shampoo in all the showers, soap by all the sinks, dish detergent, laundry detergent, toilet paper, garbage bags, etc. As Glenn told me, all we needed to bring was food and coffee to get through the week and he was right! There was a ton of adult/kid board games in the closet, DVD's, and the boot/glove dryer was the best investment of the condo as far as I was concerned. It worked like a charm to have bone dry boots and gloves to ski with in the morning. We had a lot of questions before we went, and Glenn was super fast about getting back to us. During our stay, I emailed him a few times with questions, and he got back to me immediately with each question. As for skiing at Bolton Valley, the condo is just a few steps away to a trail that you can get right on to ski to the lift. It was soooo nice not to have to drive to a ski lodge every day, just ski out the back door then back again for a relaxing lunch, then back out again for the afternoon. I highly recommend this property. We are hoping to return again next year for another week! Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you to Glenn and Lynne for maintaining such a beautiful home and so professionally taking care of their guests.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks for the kind words..

We came to VT for a little mid-week ski vacation getaway with our two teenage daughters. We arrived after dark, and didn't get the full perspective of the tremendous view outside the front of the unit until the next morning~what a breathtaking sight to awaken to! Words cannot express how clean and well put together this unit is. It's so incredibly spacious and comfortable and took no time at all for us to settle in and feel at home (without all the chores that go along with it!). The girls felt like princesses; each taking their own large bedroom on the first floor, and we settled into the lovely master bedroom on the top floor. All the rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished with all the comforts of home, and then some! The warmth and comfort of the decor is felt immediately when entering the unit, and quickly puts you in a relaxed mood from the start. The kitchen is bright, grande and lively, chock full of all the needed accessories to whip up a wonderful apres ski feast. I love how this unit is three stories, providing adequate space for all of us well beyond what we needed. This condo could easily accommodate 10, and while there, we even thought how fun it would be to share our vacation experience at Bear Run with friends next time, as this unit is not short on space! Vacationing with three girls when you're the only guy is not an easy task, and I usually have empathy for my poor fiance, but not this time! This condo made it truly easy for us all, with three spacious bathrooms, and none of us had to compete for the shower! The Timberline chair which enables Bear Run ski-in/ski-out accessibility was closed while visiting, as Mother Nature hasn't been cooperating this winter, but you can't beat the short jaunt by car to the main lift of Bolton Valley, two minutes up the road, and despite the lack of snow this year, the skiing was fun and lift attendants were very personable and friendly. Best of all...absolutely no lift lines! I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the mountains of VT, whether you're an avid skier like us, or interested in seeing all the many area attractions VT has to offer; all in close proximity to Bear Run. The Fall season must be a breathtaking explosion of color right outside your window, with thousands of miles to explore for hiking~we need to return!! ;) Many thanks to Lynne and Glenn for their outstanding job in providing us with such an amazing home away from home!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Glenn and Lynne have a clean, comfortable, and elegant home. Our guests were pleased with condo and all of its amenities. We hosted a reunion of a professional group of environmental leaders and their spouses. This was a great place to cook meals together, entertain, and rest. Glenn was kind enough to provide us with discount coupons to Bolton Valley and though the Timberline area was not open, our guests enjoyed snowshoeing up and skiing down the fresh snow on the trails. We are really pleased with our stay at Bear Run Condo.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Our family (children and grandchildren) rented this ski in-ski out condo on the mountain at Bolton Valley Ski Area for a week in March 2011. The condo was perfect. It provided all we needed in terms of amenities, comfort, convenience and privacy. The three levels allowed for group activities on the second levels and bedrooms on the first for the kids and grand kids and on the third level for Gramm and Pop Pop. The computer setup outside the third floor bedroom was well used. We liked it so much will be back for a month in 2012. In addition to the outstanding condo, we think that the Bolton Valley Ski Area is great for many reasons including the following: - skiing: well groomed trails and glades for all ability levels - people: residents, visitors and employees are friendly, courteous, non pretentious and helpful - access: convenient from either from Burlington Airport a half hour or so away or from I89/Route 2 which brings you to the BV access road - weather: average six degree drop up the access road from Route 2 to base lodge due to 1500 foot elevation rise; seems to snow daily due to orographic lift, lake effect and ocean effect snow; perfect combination for lots of snow which was shoulder deep in March - value: reasonable prices compared to other New England ski areas and a much less than a comparable vacation in the Rockies -family orientation -non (downhill) skiing activities: snow shoeing, x country skiing, rec center with pool and restaurants at BV and nearby attractions like Ben & Jerry’s, Green Mountain Coffee, Vermont Teddy Bear, Trapp Family Lodge, Cabot Cheese, Stowe and the city of Burlington and all it offers all within a half hour or so from the mountainRecommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

This is a lovely unit from which you can see Bolton Valley skiiers go by. There are 3 floors and it is very well set up for 2 families to share, with room for the kids and one set of parents in the ground floor bedrooms and the other adults on the third floor. The ski are per se is nice for families. Stowe and Smuggs are significantly farther away. The furnishings are quite nice and the kitchen is well appointed.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children.

We spent our 2010 New Year's family vacation skiing at Bolton Valley and had a great time. The skiing condition were good and we have never experienced any lines. Our accomodations at Bear Run were perfect for the nine of us. The kids loved their own area in the bunk room with t.v. and separate bathroom. The adults enjoyed their own very private bedrooms and very comfortable living area. We cooked most nights and found the kitchen to have all the supplies we are used to at home. The beds were very comfortable after a long day of skiing which seldom happens in a rental property. We will certainly be renting the townhome in the future.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We were a mixed group of kids and adults totaling nine and we fit comfortably across the three levels. Plenty of seating at the dinner table and breakfast bar for meals as well as in the living room with a large new flat screen TV. The views are great, the neighbors were quiet and we were fairly centrally located to our day trip destinations of Burlington and Stowe. We would definitely go back.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

My family and I have been staying in other areas of Vermont on a regular basis and wanted a change. Our goal, an area that was close to hiking, biking, yet easily accessible to downtown areas of Stowe and Burlington. Most importantly an updated living arrangement that is spotless, my mother's words exactly. Boy did we find it! Glenn and Lynne Browning did a wonderful job with the their unit from Flat Screen televisions, brand new appliances and cooking utensils, in addition to a picturesque setting. Upon arrival the entire family was ecstatic with the condition of the property that we called home for a couple of nights. Clean as a whistle! The hiking was great, lots of trails and everyone at the base lodge (even though it was summer) was extremely helpful in helping us navigate. I highly recommend this little gem!

The owners have done a wonderful job updating this townhome and have paid close attention to details. The layout was great, it was beautifully furnished, very clean and tidy, excellent amenities, and the owners were very nice to work with. Our kids enjoyed the big screen tv and surround sound at night to watch their movies. The kitchen was set up perfectly and had everything we could have asked for in a rental unit. Cooking while being able to keep an eye on the kids in the living room area was a bonus. The location is great whether you are skiing, hiking, biking, or traveling to other locations in VT.
