About this property

Orchard Cottage - A mountain retreat

Orchard Cottage was lovingly restored a couple of years ago to a very high standard. It is decorated in soothing autumnal tones with very comfortable beds and lots of locally sourced antiques and artwork. It sits on a 20+ acre family estate that backs on to the wild and untouched Roxbury Mountain. Our main family home and cottage sit further up the hill affording you with complete privacy.

Orchard Cottage has 2 bedrooms and a den with pull out sofa. It comfortably sleeps 6 people.

Great Week

We were very comfortable at Orchard Cottage. Great beds and shower. The area was friendly and lots of fun. Spent lots of time on the beautiful porch when we weren’t hiking and exploring. Would love to return another time.

Wonderful ski weekend retreat!

We have stayed at Orchard Cottage three times and will be back! It is a charming and peaceful cottage nestled in the Vermont woods. Perfect for ski weekends - beautifully decorated, great kitchen with magnificent views, working fireplace, and close to Sugarbush! Both the owner and local property management are on top of the details and maintain the house to a high standard.

ORCHARD COTTAGE

Beautifully decorated and impeccably clean renovated antique house nestled in the woods near Sugarbush/Warren center. The beds/linens were extremely comfortable, kitchen fully stocked with necessary and brand new utensils/knives/appliances.

Wonderful Girls Weekend in Gorgeous Setting

Our group of 6 women had an extraordinary weekend retreating to this special cottage. The house was beautifully appointed with plenty of space/privacy and the mountain setting was the perfect location for an early fall getaway. Nearby Warren Village is vintage Vermont with the Pitcher Inn (excellent dining/bar area) and General Store (necessities and wonderful gifts). I look forward to returning to the Orchard Cottage with my family as soon as possible!

Orchard Cottage: A Great Option in the Mad River Valley

My buddies and I had a great visit to the Mad River Valley this weekend in Heidi's home. She has everything you need for a great stay, including comfortable beds, beautuiful views, a roaring fireplace and a chef's kitchen. For up to six people, this is the place to stay near Sugarbush and Mad River Valley. Period.

Cozy winter retreat

What a wonderful place. Orchard cottage is everything it seems like in the photos and more. We cooked all of our meals here and sat by the fire for hours. Highly recommend. Note: If coming in winter, you will definitely need AWD or 4WD and snow tires wouldn't hurt! We should have known to heed that warning.

History in the Forrest

Staying here feels like experiencing history. The cottage feels like stepping back in time to Colonial America. But don’t worry, the bathrooms and kitchen are beautifully updated. We enjoyed the fireplace and porch immensely. Making a meal was easy and we enjoyed the quiet solitude of the place. Waitsfield is an easy 15 minute drive. The cottage was meticulously clean and I felt safe, even in COVID times. We’ll be back!

A quaint VT mountain cottage

Orchard Cottage is the perfect spot for a quiet family get-away. It has wonderful colonial VT country charm, but with the modern convenience of updated bathrooms & kitchen. The bedroom space is suitable for a single family or 2 couples, but the living space is quite ample, with a wonderful fireplace & deck looking out to the mountains. We came up for a weekend of skiing at Sugarbush and found it so warm & welcoming we were reluctant to leave the house. The mountain is no more than 15 minutes drive, but would recommend 4WD/snowtires as the access road to the house is quite steep. We look forward to staying again soon.

Perfect Home Base To Exolore Mad River Valley

My friend and I stayed here for several days and we were so happy we chose this as our home base The home and property are just beautiful! As many reviews have said, the home is even more lovely in person (which is hard to imagine!) and it has all the amenities one could ask for. The morning coffee on the deck with a gorgeous view was the perfect way to start our day. Waitsfield and Warren are so close and very charming towns. There is so much to do in the surrounding area. Hiking, biking, swimming, tasty cheeses, maple creemee at Canteen Creemee, great farm stands, local markets (so close!!) wonderful restaurants, pottery, glass art and so much more… We had so much fun exploring and then coming back to our lovely, comfortable home base. I plan to return here with my family. Thank you!

Cozy cottage

Beautiful home, great location. Beds were very comfortable, very clean, well stocked kitchen. Shower was awesome! Very charming and nicely updated. Our only complaints would be that it would have been nice to have a little larger of a tv, and the cleaning fee was a bit high considering we were required to take sheets off the beds, wash the towels, run the dishwasher, and take out the garbage.

Wonderful Winter stay

We had a great post Christmas stay at Orchard Cottage. The cottage was even more quaint in person, with everything we needed for our stay. The high quality bedding and linens made for a cozy stay. We enjoyed lots of family time by the wood-burning fire - our favorite part of our stay by far. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home! The Hicks Family Concord, NH

Magical, cozy getaway

This is a 5 star rental that acts like a warm embrace from the chaos of day to day life. The property and home are beautiful, spacious, clean and incredibly inviting. On top of the space being so fabulous - the owner and housekeeper were attentive, responsive and committed to all the details that make a vacation special. We can't wait to come back!

Beatiful sunsets!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orchard Cottage. When we arrived we found the house spotless and lights were on to welcome us. The cottage is very well maintained and decorated with beautiful antiques. My favorite part of the house is the oversized and well-stocked kitchen, the large bathroom with extra soft towels and the views of the sunset in the evening. Easy drive to Sugarbush. When reading a few reviews, I was a little nervous how the road would be, but relative to other dirt roads in the Mad River Valley, this was easy. This is by far, my favorite house I have rented in the Valley (and I've rented many). Hope to be back!

Excellent

House is spectacular, beautifully designed, decorated, and maintained. Beautiful views and location near skiiing, hiking, and fishing. Prompt and helpful communication throughout. East Warren community store nearby. Might not be the best for guests with mobility challenges - stairs are little steep, and path in can get a little narrow/icy.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Ringsted

Host profile image
Having originally purchased the main house next door, we jumped at the chance to buy Orchard Cottage when it became available. With a growing family, we needed space for all of our friends and family to congregate during the holidays. We live overseas but visit several times a year to ski, play in the Mad River, hike in the Green Mountains and be at peace in this really beautiful spot.

Why they chose this property

Orchard Cottage is nestled into a ridge on Roxbury Mountain in the middle of the Green Mountains. Set below the main house beyond the apple treehouse and the orchard. It has it's own driveway and is completely private.

What makes this property unique

This cottage would be perfect for a small family or a couple looking for a unique Vermont getaway. The setting is very peaceful and romantic and the furnishings extremely luxurious. Whether you plan an active break taking advantage of all that the valley has to offer or you are seeking a cozy retreat to relax and watch the foliage change or the wild turkeys and deer roaming through the orchard, Orchard Cottage can supply all of that!

Old Roxbury Road is a private road and a 4WD is a must even though it is plowed continually throughout the winter.
