About the host
Hosted by Laura Fried
Owen and Laura have been hosts for many years, mostly on another platform, where we have an excellent rating and several dozen reviews.
We have lived in Vermont since 2005, raising our two children here where they enjoy outdoor education and any activity taking place in the mountains. Laura spent her toddler years in Warren, Vermont, learning to ski at age 2, just like her children.
We decided in 2024 to put our family home on VRBO. We enjoy helping our guests navigate the area, learn the secret spots, find the best take out and restaurants (some require booking well ahead of your stay).
We are available for guided hikes/snowshoes and first time ski lessons on the magic carpet at Stowe - please inquire.
We enjoy staying in homes when we travel, and in 2024 went to New Zealand and England. Laura has lived in Japan, Thailand, and Singapore. Owen has lived in Mexico. We also enjoy traveling in Canada each summer. We love camping as well!

Why they chose this property
When Stowe put our road on it's Scenic Byway it was no coincidence. This is the road parallel to Rte 100 (the only road into Stowe from the highway). And it's a gorgeous straight shot across a mountain valley with wide expanses and farms. Many think foliage is the best season. Spring ephemerals are magical in nearby mountain trails, summer has backcountry biking and hiking, and winter has skiing and snowshoeing. Our house has a secret entrance to a local backcountry ski network - that is what we mean by "ski in/ski out" for those adventurous to avoid lift service. We are the first house next to the Stowe town line, so expect a quieter time with less traffic and more nature/expansive views of the Hunger Mountain range.
What makes this property unique
Guests always tell us "this house is bigger than it seems from the photos." Or "we love the charm of this cabin." With a surprise bonus suite in the basement, there's plenty of places to spread out.
Guests also love the apple orchard, the mountain views, the neighborhood farms, the brook and trails along it. The sunrises behind the mountain, and the sun sets that light up the mountain pink. And don't forget the clear skies without any light pollution for stargazing. The proximity to Waterbury and Stowe, and even Burlington/Montpelier.
