Overview
Beautiful 3 Bedroom 2 Bath Cottage, All Amenities On 12 Acres Of Woods
Fairy Tale Cottage that has been completely renovated with all major appliances,internet, Jacuzzi, Direct TV, gourmet kitchen etc. Surrounded by 12 acres , part of Sterling Forest, yet minutes from the base of Mt. Mansfield and all the restaurants and spas of Stowe. There are two fireplaces, one in the master bedroom and one adjacent to the major sitting room.
A wood-burning stove is essentially a third fireplace serving the the sitting/dining area and kitchen. Gourmet Kitchen with all new appliances equipped to create a gourmet meal or a simple snack. Sterling Brook runs through the property and hiking, cross country skiing and mountain biking trails are right by. Surrounded by magnificent forest yet a short distance to downtown Stowe with all of its great restaurants, spas, shops and some of the best down hill skiing in New England. Every season is magical from the warm summer days with craft festivals, farmers markets and 30 plus miles of hiking and biking trails. Autumn is a blaze of colors that are difficult to imagine until you see it. Winter brings the hush of snow and the thrills of skiing. Spring brings the flowers bursting out of the snow and the deep greens of the trees that you forgot about in the winter. This is truly a 4 season home.

Cozy, Clean, Comfortable and QUIET.
I don't know where to begin with this property. One word sums up our experience at the Stone Cottage, OUTSTANDING. We truly enjoyed our stay. The location is not a far ride from Stowe, about 8 to 10 minutes. The Stone Cottage is much better than the hotel experience. The master bedroom was very comfortable. The home itself is very quaint and secure. The kitchen was great to have for preparing breakfast and a couple of dinners. We had our three Border Collies with us and they loved the property and surrounding area. Would we go back to the Stone Cottage? ABSOLUTELY! I HIGHLY recommend this property. Thank you Lynn for sharing your home with us. Barbara, thank you for being available to us.
Perfect getaway tucked in to the woods above Stowe
We arrived in Stowe on Thursday evening, only to find that our "dog friendly" hotel wasn't in fact so friendly. A frantic search led us to what looked like just what we were after - somewhere with space to ourselves, where we could leave the dog (who is well trained) unattended when we wanted to go out for a run or for dinner.
We quickly spoke with the owner Lynne, who was most accommodating and within an hour had checked out of our hotel and driven over to the Stone Cottage to meet the local property manager Barbara, who was great.
The cottage is everything you would hope for - tucked away in a secluded spot behind many trees. It is as cozy inside as it looks outside - but also very well furnished with all modern conveniences, a great kitchen, two great baths (one w jacuzzi for post ski - or in our case - post run soak), gorgeous formal sitting room, cozy dining/living room area and great back patio and garden. More than we needed but just a treat - for both ourselves - and our dog Boomer - all of us far happier here.
If you are a dog owner, as we are - then rest assured, Lynne understands - there were plenty of dog beds and blankets in the cottage to make a small family of pooches more than cozy. Little touches like the chess board were greatly appreciated too.
The cottage is a few miles (15 mins) drive outside of Stowe - near enough to pop in and get whatever you need and far enough out that you feel like you have the area to yourself. We will be back and will definitely return to the cottage. Great spot - very highly recommended.
Wonderful Ski Season Rental
Stone Cottage is located in beautiful Sterling Forest and just 10 minutes to town! This was our second ski season here and enjoyed every minute of it. The house worked perfectly for our family of 5 and we always looked forward to our weekends at Stone Cottage. The house was clean, cozy and had all the comforts of home. Lynne (the owner) is great to work with. She is responsive, accommodating and works hard to ensure that your stay is wonderful. We look forward to visiting again!
Enchanting Cottage in the Woods
We enjoyed a lovely welcome with fresh flowers and a nice bottle of local wine .Everything we needed to make our stay comfortable was provided and any questions we had were quickly answered by the caretaker.
Our daily routine was to take a hike on the nearby trails and take in the glorious views--FABULOUS!!!
The cottage was warm,clean and cozy.Stowe restaurants and breweries were yummy and fun!
What a wonderful fall getaway we had!!
Warm and cozy cottage in a beautiful setting
My husband and I spent two weeks during the fall foliage season at the Stone Cottage. We researched our options for 6 months before deciding on this property and we were not disappointed. The owners knew we were coming to celebrate our wedding anniversary and enjoy the fall foliage season in Vermont. We arrived late in the evening to find pumpkins at the head of the driveway and mums along the sidewalk with the lights on waiting for us. I felt as if I was driving up to my own home. Inside there was more autumn décor, a fresh vase of flowers, Vermont maple products, a bottle of wine with glasses set out for us. The fireplace was prepared to simply strike a match and light the flame then sit back and enjoy. The welcome and first impressions could not have been more perfect.
Access to the cottage is simple and easy to find. It's not too far from town to run in and grab some groceries but far enough that you feel like you have privacy all around you. I loved the fact that the road passes a covered bridge that I could see every day.
The house is clean, spotless in fact, and comfortable. The appliances in the kitchen are very nice and in great working order. My husband enjoyed the fact that he could cook on a gas stove as we have an electric range at home. The downstairs bathroom has a very large shower with an excellent shower head and good water pressure. They had the largest, softest, whitest bath towels that I have ever seen. I seriously wanted to take them home with me, but I didn't. The woodstove in the living area heats up fast and puts out a lot of heat. You don't have to worry about getting cold when that thing is lit. But my favorite part was having a fireplace in the bedroom. It felt very glamourous and indulgent to have the flicker of firelight as you are drifting off to sleep.
The cottage sits in a secluded setting in the Sterling Forest just about 10 minutes or so outside of Stowe. There are hiking trails and a stream that can be enjoyed right outside the door. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised to see a variety of wildlife during our stay, including several deer in the pasture next door, a red fox, a skunk, and two friendly neighbor dogs. Unfortunately no moose, although we did our best to look for one.
We enjoyed our stay very much and had a wonderful time at the Stone Cottage and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Lovely house for a family visit
We stayed at Stone Cottage for 3 nights in July. Our experience was excellent from start to finish. The owner responded quickly to our inquiry and was such a pleasure to deal with. The caretaker was responsive, helpful and very sweet. The house itself is in a gorgeous spot, very serene and beautiful, with a flower filled yard and a well cut path down to the river. The house was clean and well supplied with an excellent kitchen and washer dryer. The bedroom layout was perfect for our family. There is a beautiful sunny room at the back of the house that was a favorite for my kids...they spent hours stretched out in the sunny window seat. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
