Fantastic ski getaway!! The house was the perfect size and had everything we needed. The dogs loved the outside yard. The owners were very flexible and helpful.The house was close to Smugs and a few nice restaurants. I only wish we had brought more food as the market was very small!

An excellent dog friendly vacation spot!

The stay was exactly as described. Great location on the mountain near lots to do. The dog loved the room to run around outside. The interior has great cozy ski house vibes which was perfect for our winter get away. Would highly recommend staying here and would love to return again in the future.

Great Home Base

We had a great stay at the chalet. Even in the Summer heat, the house stayed cool enough and plenty of fans were supplied. The home was clean and well stocked. The location is an easy drive to Smuggler’s Notch and Stowe, and about 45 minutes to Burlington. Our dog loved exploring the property. We would definitely stay again.

Very cozy home close to Smuggler's Notch. It was great that we didn't have far to go after a whole day of skiing/snowboarding. Homeowners/Managers were very responsive with any questions. Would stay here again next time I'm in the area.

Perfect chalet in the woods

Our family absolutely loved staying at the chalet! The owners clearly put a lot of time into updating it and the attention to detail really shows. Everything was so well done and the house was well stocked with basics to make our stay easier. The chalet was adorable and highly recommend to anyone considering spending time in the Stowe, VT area.

Weekend ski trip

Some friends and I stayed here for the weekend to ski smugglers notch, everything at the property was well kept and clean. Great place for friends or family to get out and enjoy each others company. And the owners were extremely pleasant to deal with. 11/10 great experience especially for the price.
