Our vacation in Stowe was great and what helped to make it so great was this townhome. The property was spacious, very well maintained and the location was ideal! We were able to walk to shops, restaurants and I can't say enough about the wonderful view of the river! This property was perfect for our family getaway and I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in Stowe.

Owner response:Thank you. We love our unit and do upgrades every summer when we visit and try hard to keep it in excellent condition. I want to thank Walter, Jill, the Huffmans, Trevis, my brother and sister, and Stowe Country Homes for keeping such close watch on the condition of the unit.

Summer fun in a ski area - get moving in Stowe

This townhouse was a great summer rental. The pictures and description on VRBA are very accurate. Nice, well furnished, clean, with lots of linens. But the best part is the location - walk to the village for good restaurants, etc. The little river provides a peaceful backdrop off the deck and is perfect for wading. The owner was great about promptly resolving an air conditioning problem. Definitely would recommend this property for summer or winter stays. The 3 floors provide good separation for the group. The 5 mile bike path near the Mountain Road is a must for walking/biking and stopping for a fun swim in the river. Neat things in the area include great hiking trails, a trampoline/bungee jump and an alpine slide for kids, weekly farmers market, balloon festival, and symphony concerts. Stowe Country Club is one of several excellent places in the area to play golf.

Owner response:Thank you, we really appreciate the quality of the guest that we have been able to have stay at our place. We have local people in trades that help us if there is a mechanical problem. We bought and had a new a/c unit installed that day we heard the older one was making noise .

Great location! We had a great time and the owner was very helpful in suggesting good restaurants which we enjoyed. I would highly recommend this property to anyone going to Stowe because it is so centrally located and you can walk wherever you want to go.

Owner response:Thanks for the review. We have received so many nice emails and notes that we will start putting them on the site. Our place is special to us and we love it and enjoy sharing it with others. Bob and ViAnn

Our vacation in Stowe was made incredibly more enjoyable by staying in your WONDERFUL and COMFORTABLE condo. Sitting on the deck, just a stone's throw from the river, made all the time at home as much fun as the daily sidetrips! The location was the best we've ever had in the area and we come almost every year for at least a week. THANK-YOU!!!!! Hope to rebook soon!

Owner response:Nice to have a fellow West Coaster stay at our townhouse. New England and especially Vermont are the best.

Great house in a great place!

We can't recommend this place highly enough. Stayed 3 nights during a tour of New England in October and wished we had booked to stay longer here. The house is in a great location in the town, but set back from the road right on the river bank. There is parking right outside the door. It is a flat 2 minute walk into the town with shops and restaurants and it is well located for all the sights within driving distance of Stowe. The house itself is spacious set over 3 floors with a great open plan kitchen/living area that opens out on to the large balcony with a lovely view over the river. This really was a lovely living space and fantastic for family or a group of friends. It was meticulously clean, nicely decorated and has everything you need. The master bedroom and bathroom with jacuzzi bath was great! There were 4 of us staying so the other bedroom we used was downstairs with a balcony looking out to the river. The owner, was quick to respond and helpful when I made an enquiries about availability and booking. The booking was made no problem using paypal to transfer funds. There was also no problem with the transfer back of the security deposit after our stay. The owner also contacted us whilst we were in the property to check all was ok and was very helpful with recommendations for fall driving routes etc. I would certainly stay here again and recommend it to friends. Stowe itself is a lovely town with plenty to do nearby both on foot from the house and within driving distance. There is beautiful scenery all around and was a fantastic base from which to view the fall colours.

Weather was cool and nice - some rain. We walked everywhere and tried all the restaurants. The Stowe Coffee Shop has good sandwiches. The deck is like your own little world. Didn't catch a fish - what's the trick?

We're three senior citizens from Florida. Your place was grand and the place to be during the Fla. hurrican season. The store and the village are so convenient.

Wow!! Vermont was better than we expected. Loved the Village and the hikes in the mountains. We really enjoyed the condo and your neighbors are nice. The three levels worked well for our family and it was so quiet.

With four kids we really enjoyed your place. Great to allow the older ones to walk to the Village and Ski Museum. It's a beautiful setting and condo. Note: Your rental agent replaced the coffee maker for us - the other one stopped working.

We've had a wonderful two weeks here. Convenient to everthing, yet quiet and peaceful. River, Ct c-2 is a very comfortable condo. Should let you know that the washer water temp. knob is stripped

We wish we could stay another 3 weeks. The quiet time was what we needed in our lives. The kitchen had everything we needed and we bought for you a potato peeler and a new notepad. Our family had fun visiting and the wedding of our niece is Stowe was magical. Hope we can come next year.

We saw Vermont by doing day trips from the condo. The a/c really helped. We loved your place, the kids said it was the best vacation ever. Thanks
