About this property

Mountain Cabin Bordering State Park. Hiking, Private. Special Place, Great View!

Tucked in the forest near the end of a dead end dirt road this cabin sits on a ridge with awesome views and sounds of a creek below. Fully renovated interior in 2021 yet keeping its rustic charm. Peaceful and quiet nestled against Camels Hump State Park, but still the luxury of high speed internet. Master bedroom has large picture window towards the forest with the creek below. Enjoy morning coffee on the porch with its beautiful south eastern exposure. Minutes from Waterbury and Waitsfield

This 1 bedroom cabin with a loft in Duxbury is perfect for your escape. With a cozy queen bed with a view in the master bedroom. 2 twin beds in the loft that can be made in to a king.

Propane Fireplace in living room adds to the ambiance. Set to a thermostat or just turn it on!
Hiking into the state park is right from your door. Quiet and not used by many people, connects to 14,000 acre Camels Hump stayed Forest. Also makes great cross country skiing on the groomed Snowmobile trails in the winter.

Fire pit outside the cabin. Charcoal BBQ for you to enjoy. Here the Dowsville creek from bed after a night of rain!

Four wheel drive in winter needed. Any car in summer is fine.

This cabin was perfect for my mom, sister, and I to go away for a weekend! It was exactly the space we were hoping for- very clean, a pretty view, and cozy vibes inside! The fireplace was so cozy and there was the perfect amount of room for each of us. Check in and out was easy, and the host was very informative and responsive. A great weekend for sure!

What a perfect spot to come “home” to after our Vermont adventures! The outside deck is perfect for watching a sunrise or star gazing. You can hear the brook bubbling. Great place to unplug and relax! Great communication with the owner. (Note:no television or microwave-didn’t bother us but good to know before purchasing groceries) We would definitely stay again!

Loved the place. And the location was the perfect combo of convenient and isolated. A little more info on nearby hikes as well as starter kitchen set of coffee, tea and associated condiments would have been terrific. Also more info on compost would have been helpful (e.g., in NC I cannot compost bones outside, also the referenced under the sink box did not appear to exist).

Lovely space!

Beautiful, private, peaceful cabin in the woods. The place was spotless, well appointed and welcoming. The views were gorgeous from inside the cabin and out and we loved having morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs on the deck overlooking the mountains. Easy, quick communication with the hosts, who also provided a ton of helpful information about things to do and see in the area prior to our check in. I would definitely love to stay again and would highly recommend! Thank you for sharing the space with us!

Comfortable, cozy, not kitschy, with nice appliances and furnishings. The location is beautiful and serene - heavily forested, with a babbling brook running alongside the property. The place is clean and well-kept. The shops and restaurants in Waterbury are a short drive away. My only quibble with the property is with the upstairs beds, which made a horrible racket when you turned or shifted your weight.

Mountain getaway

Peaceful cabin with beautiful mountain views - the perfect place to unwind and renew. We enjoyed playing games and relaxing in the coziness of the cabin. And also had fun taking walks in the surrounding area and hiking nearby. The cabin had everything we needed and very easy to check in and out.

Amazing cabin! It was spotless when we arrived, and in excellent shape. It is a couple of miles down a dirt/gravel road, and you will definitely without question need AWD in winter (maybe even in wet weather, as the house is up a fairly steep hill). The road has houses on it, but is very quiet and seemed to have almost no cars driving by. The house is right next to the road, but the trees block it, and we had maybe one car pass by the entire time, so it felt very secluded and private. The view from the deck is just as great as it looks in the photos. We will definitely come back here, this was the perfect peaceful getaway!

The view/back porch and location (central to many popular cities in Vermont) were perfect. The drive to the house is a bumpy, hilly, dirt road so be prepared for that. I could have used more privacy with window coverings, but that’s a personal preference. I would say this house is most suitable for 2 people. The loft has a low ceiling and the beds are low to the ground. Perhaps some young children wouldn’t mind it but I don’t think many adults would be comfortable. The pillows could use updating. The house was clean and felt homey.

Love this place!

This was our third time staying here over the years and we just love it! It feels like you’re a million miles away from civilization, which is so relaxing, but yet you’re actually close by to many great things to do. We always go to Warren Falls and The Mad Taco and neither disappoints! Peter and Sandra’s place is a perfect spot to get away from it all. The view is spectacular and the cabin has everything you need. Will definitely be back again!

Beautifully tucked away in the hills of Vermont, the house has all the essentials you’ll need for a quiet get away. We did some great snowshoe hikes and went into Waterbury and Waitsfield for provisions and Prohibition Pig. Peter was responsive and thorough in his communication.

Amazing experience at special cabin

Our stay at this cozy cabin was amazing!! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The cabin was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. The warm, inviting atmosphere was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host responds very fast if you have any questions. You can walk down the road and find the most beautiful brook. The sounds are amazing. We are definitely planning to be back a second time!

Perfect weekend getaway…

My partner and I had an incredible time in this beautiful cabin in Duxbury. It had everything we needed for a quiet, weekend stay. We spent one day hiking nearby Camel’s Hump ( a wonderful Class 3 scramble!). And spent the next day indoors while it rained, enjoying the beautiful views from the bedroom and living room. We cooked and baked, and opened up some great cans of beer from nearby breweries. Best of all was the easiness of checking in and out with Pete and Sandra. They were remarkably generous and kind towards us. As well as very prompt with their communication. We hope we can come back soon!

This is a great place to relax, recharge and refresh your soul amid bucolic and peaceful surroundings. There’s a spacious deck with a stunning mountain view. The master bedroom features a huge picture window overlooking a deep, wooded ravine with a hidden brook (and we think we heard the whooshing sound of a waterfall down below). The home appears newly renovated and is spotlessly clean. We’ve stayed at four Vrbo properties and this was our favorite. HEADS UP: One morning, our navigation app led us to turn right from the home’s driveway, drive briefly up the steep hill and turn left on Dowsville Heights Road. We quickly reached a point where the road was not maintained, and our Toyota Corolla Hatchback could no longer continue the route. We managed to do a k-turn, but the sound of the car’s underbody scraping hard ridges in the untended path alarmed us. Unless you’re driving a vehicle that can handle rough terrain, stay off of Dowsville Heights Road.

About the host

Hosted by Peter DiCicco

Host profile image
My name is Pete and I am from Vermont. My wife Sandra is from Sweden. We met guiding camping trips for a company that brought us all over North America. We love travelling and are usually working in Alaska in the summers. Hosting has been a fun way for us to share this beautiful part of Vermont, while staying connected with travelers.

Why they chose this property

This is a cute little cabin built on to an old glacial gravel ridge. Looking down onto Dowsville creek or looking out across the mountains it is just beautiful here! We love that this is a small plot of land towards the end of a dead end road. We can just stroll into a very quite corner of the Camels Hump State Park.

What makes this property unique

A fun fact about this freshly remodeled cabin

-Cabinets were hand built farther up the road by a neighbor
-Counter tops are slabs from trees cut on this hillside.
