"This house exceeded our expectations, big, beautiful, clean, gorgeous view, well-maintained property, close to conveniences, well equipped. My kids loved it from the second they walked in - all five of them. I would highly recommend this home to anyone and everyone.
"Thanks for a wonderful time Mike!"
Lindi and Andre
Mike,
Your Jay home is the homiest home we have ever rented. Everything was so inviting, soft, clean, organized, scenic, well-decorated... It was just like home. I loved the gate at the top of the stairs on the deck; what a great way to keep pets and children happy. We even did our yoga routine on the deck; it was so peaceful. The views, day and night, rain or shine, were fantastic...breathtaking! We could see for miles and miles. If I had to describe our stay in one word, I would choose TRANQUIL. We were surrounded by tranquility. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

After a day of activities come back, relax, take in the spectacular view and enjoy the warming afternoon sun on the deck, (Seating for 16!) or create your own après ski party in the fully-equipped game room with a new Brunswick pool table, board games, dart board, TV/DVD/VCR and CD player and extra refridgerator. You can also choose a book from our shelves and enjoy quiet time in one of our 2 recliners in the living room, also a great view. You will find entertainment and space for the whole family!
For a summer retreat, The Mountainview Trailhouse lives up to its name being less than a mile from the trailhead of the infamous Long Trail. Or if you prefer, The Appalachian Trail is not far either. Special rates for hikers! If you would like the refrigerator stocked, let us know. You can also cool off at the local swimming hole, complete with rope swing, only a short five-minute drive from the house! Or take a 20-minute trip into Newport to Lake Memphremagog for sailing, jet skiing, boating, or relaxing.
For autumn, there is no better place to book your trip. Perfect for leaf peepers or your private romantic getaway. There are endless miles of scenic drives in NEK. Although you will find you do not need to go far. We have covered bridges, beautiful country landscapes, and rustic barns all within a five-minute drive. It is truly one of the last untouched gems in Vermont. The Jay Peak area is full of activities and beautiful scenery in every season.

Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Jay
We love to ski, hike, swim and just relax. There are so many covered bridges, scenic drives and swimming holes within a few miles. Great hiking on easily accessible trails right from the front door. Skiing at Jay Peak!! We also love the quiet, peaceful surroundings of our secluded property although it is only 6.5 miles to the mountain.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Peace, privacy and quiet, alone with your family and friends. We are the only house at Jay with the gorgeous views form the hot tub, dining table for 10, a fireplace and a complete game room.
Stop at the Country Store for supplies, have your own Apre's ski party on the deck back home. Get your skiis tuned and pick them up on the way to the mountain the next day. There a few places to eat a
Great little ski town and fabulous bakery on Main St. About 20 minutes from the house.
This is the mountain you see from the balcony in the master bedroom.
Owner's Map of Jay
Our constant goal while owning this house is to create a comfortable and affordable home that we hoped to find when went on vacations. Now that we are just about done with the work, I doubt we will be going anywhere else. We really love our house and hope you will to. This is not a worn down rental house, we like to call it VACATION HOME.

Wonderful house located close to town and Jay Peak. Modern furniture and appliances throughout this clean, well maintained, newly built 4 bedroom home. Game room contains foosball, darts, DVD/VCR/Stereo and pool table, great for hanging out in when not on the slopes. We also enjoyed the beautiful master bedroom with private balcony. Owner is very professional and caring. Highly recommended.
Owner response:Thanks to the SBOL gang, we hope to have you back next year. Book early if you are set on particular dates, we fill up fast. Mike and Doreen

For the 3rd winter straight we have stayed at the Mtn. View Trailhouse and could not have been happier. The annual trip includes 10 guys and there is ample space for everyone. As always, the house was stocked with everything you could ever need and the homeowner Mike is great to deal with. Even though the snow totals in the Northeast are lower than usual this year, don't be fooled, we had 3 powder days and the weather forecasts never called for snow. Jay Peak has its own climate and you can count on a minimum of at least flurries when you are there. When you combine the best rental property in Jay with the best mountain in the East what more could you ask for? P.S. We discussed renting your house in the summer for a golf getaway so expect to hear from me! Thanks again.
Owner response:Wow!! Great review! It is really nice having you back to the house every year. I am so glad that we continue to meet your expectations. Once again, you have managed to hit it right with Mother Nature. We will be looking forward to your stay in the summer. By the way, we offer discounts on golf too. Thanks and take care.

Words cannot describe what an amazing time we had at our stay here (5days/4nights). Yeah we didn't get to ski until our 3 day here because of the mild/rainy weather but no one cared. There was so much we could do at the house, between just lounging by the fireplace or playing a game of pool. The kitchen area was so large and we looked forward each night to cook a home cooked meal (our last night we ate out at Tastings just a few minutes from the house - great food there!) We've stayed at homes in Mount Snow and Killington in the past but nothing compared to Mike's home! A truly unforgettable stay and trip!
Owner response:So great to hear you had a wonderful stay. It was a pleasure dealing with you and your friends. We are glad that our home was a positive addition to your vacation. Look us up next time for our return customer discount. Thank you for caring for our home and also appreciating all we do.

Absolutely Amazing Rental Home

Review Submitted: 12/18/11
Spent two nights in this beautiful home in the NEK! There were amzing mountain views in all directions, with only a short ride to Jay Peak. The house has a very modern rustic feel, it simply felt like I was home. The location of the house was very private, I liked the fact that it didn't feel like I was at a touristy ski resort. The house was very clean and well maintained. The house offers plenty to do on a rainy day or just relaxing after a long day sking. It has a pool table, plenty of board games, large flat screen TV, and an awsome hot tub. I forgot my pillows at the house and the owner kindly mailed them back to me. The only downfall for the whole weekend was that Jay was not in full operation yet. All my friends and I had an absolutely amazing time and will defintely be returning in the future. To sum it all up, if you are looking for a rental home for a ski trip to Jay Peak I highly recommend this house, the price was right and I promise you will not be disappointed.
Owner response:So glad you enjoyed your stay. Although Jay has had years when they were in full early season operation by December 15th, sadly it was not this year. Sorry about that. Kudos to your group for staying positive and enjoying the water-park. We hope to have you back. Stay in touch.

Our first time up to this area of Vermont...we couldn't of picked a better house to spend the week!!! Thank you Mike and Doreen for the tips of where to go and what to do. After driving around Jay and surrounding areas, my wife and I agreed that the scenes from your house are as beautiful as much of the sight seeing we did, maybe with exception of Jay Peak :-) The house is clean, has awesome features compared to what's available in other options in the area, the hot tube is nice (we used it every night), the kids loved playing outside and enjoying camp fires at night. The house has become part of the experience for us now. Thank you for being owner who truly show how much you care for your home and the experience you leave your renters. You guys made the trip a success!!!!
Owner response:Wow. That is very nice of you, what a great review! My wife and I work very hard to make sure other families get the same experience we do. Since we first started renting our home 9 years ago, we have tried to include everything that we look for in a vacation property when we go on holiday. Nowadays we don't go anyplace else. We love it and I think the time we spend and the additions we make on the house are all worth it when we can allow another family to experience and appreciate it. Thank you for choosing our vacation home. We really hope to have you back year after year.

Mike was ever so helpful in making our dream of a last minute weekend away from our busy work lives in the city. It was a nice surprise to find his home only minutes away from the Canadian boarder & it still felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. His home was clean, organized & well equipped for a nice weekend away from the city! Will surely try to rent with Mike again!
Owner response:Thank you so much and we are happy you were able to take advantage of the last minute special offer we were promoting. You picked a beautiful time to stay in our house and to be in Jay. Currently, we still have times available for the winter months so be sure to book early. We look forward to your return. Thank you for choosing the MountainView TrailHouse.

This was out second stay in the house, our first since the addition and the hot tub. The house is great, plenty of room, clean and the greatest views anywhere. Mike is always helpful and available when you need him. The area is beautiful and peaceful. My family can't wait to go again nest summer!
Owner response:What a treat having previous guests back to the house! We want the MountainView TrailHouse to be your vacation home in Jay year after year. It was nice having you and we are glad you enjoyed your stay once again. Remember to book early for next year as the water park is sure to bring a few more folks to the area. Take care!

This home is even better in person than in the pictures! This peaceful and relaxing home is a wonderful retreat yet feels just like home. The magnificent views from every room (and the hot tub especially) is to die for and is a little piece of heaven. Rarely do I travel and come back with all positive comments with no areas of improvement to mention but in this case I cannot think of anything to suggest to make my stay better. We were in town for a family wedding and the memories we have made will never be forgotten - thanks again for allowing us to rent your fabulous home. You were great to work with and we will definitely be back as soon as possible!
Owner response:Thank you so much for the kind words! My wife and I really try to think of everything we would want if we rented a vacation home. We love our home too, it is a very special place for my family and I am grateful that it had a positive influence on your stay at Jay. I am glad you enjoyed your time at the house and thanks again for leaving it in such great shape. You are exactly the kind of guests we would like to return year after year. You will always be welcome and you were a pleasure to deal with from the start. Take care, Mike and Doreen

The cottage was fantastic, a really great place to relax with friends. We enjoyed the Pool and Foosball tables, as well as the hot tub! There is a grocery store and a small town nearby which was convenient for our group. We enjoyed the privacy of the area, lots of land and very peaceful. The view from every angle of the house was phenomenal, i would recommend it to anybody looking to stay in jay peak!
Owner response:Thank you for choosing our vacation home. My wife and I work very hard to make sure that people who choose our home have a good experience. We are constantly trying to make things better and feel like we have just started to get things dialed in. It was a real pleasure dealing with you and if you make it down to Jay again I would hope you choose our home for your next trip. We do offer discounts for returning guests. Thanks for taking great care of the house!

My friends and I relaxed at this house for the first weekend of April. There was a lot of snow left in Vermont. We had a great time skiing at Jay Peak and had a great time at the house. Spent many hours in the new Hot tub. There are many games that we played in the game room. We also watched the final four games for men's NCAA basketball. This was the nicest house that i have stayed at in Vermont. I am sure I will be back to visit again!
Owner response:Thank you William, I am glad that you and your friends were able to enjoy the house. If you make it back up to VT please keep us in mind. We always have great offers for our return customers.
