You should stay here. We've been coming to Stowe to ski for several years. This is the best house we have ever rented. Fit us 5 but could fit more bc we didn't even use the bunks. The house is conveniently located in town minutes from stores, restaurants, and skiing. The house is spacious and comfortable and has laundry. The driveway fits several cars. And the hot tub was working with no issues. The owners were so kind, provided detailed instructions/info about the place, and made sure we knew they were available. I'm very impressed with how they keep their home. Grateful for the experience and would rent again in a heartbeat.

Cozy and private

Close to downtown, nestled in the woods, recessed hot tub in the deck, cozy family room, garage parking + game room! This place is unreal. We got 1foot of snow and the driveway was plowed before we woke up. These hosts are amazing!

Amazing Space and Great Location

We could not be happier with our experience at this house. This is the ideal ski house. The house was clean and had plenty of space for us to store our gear. The hot tub was clean and made for a great place for post ski beers (after rinsing off of course). I would 100% rent this place again! 10 out of 10!

Family Stay

Great property for family get together. We had members from 70 to 3. Comfortable for all especially the bunk room. Added bonus of games in the garage for entertaining children when they needed some space. Also a terrific location for getting to all our Stowe destinations!

Perfect Ski Week Experience

This property has it all! So well equipped to make our trip the best possible. The house was clean and well furnished. Communication with the owners was excellent. We hit a snag with the heat when we arrived (all fixed) and the owners bent over backwards to get it remedied. The wood stove was a lovely touch for the extra heat! Highly recommend and would book again.

Lovely stay in Stowe

We visited this property in late January and it was perfect for a long weekend ski trip. The house provided a great home base not only for ease of access to Stowe Mountain Resort and all of the shops and restaurants in town but also for nights in - we really enjoyed the wood-burning stove and the hot tub! The house was comfortable and clean, and the owners were very responsive to inquiries. We would highly recommend this property!
