Joe was nice and easy to talk to. Neighbors were all friendly and the pool area/clubhouse was nice, clean, and inviting. We enjoyed the duck pond for some small easy fishing. Friendly, cool town center about 14 minutes away. I think this place was perfect for the price.

The host was welcoming . The house needs major updating and cleaning. The garbage can was filthy. There was dried sticky food covering the outside of it. When I pulled the trash bag out trash bucket I saw what looked like mold covering the bottom, it was all black and it was not from us. All three beds were uncomfortable, thinking they are all very old. The closet in the downstairs bedroom had no door on it and was stuffed with junk. I kept my clothes in my suitcase. The house smelled of mildew. The mildew scent stayed on our clothes. The house temperature was cool, we couldn't turn up the heat as the thermostats were locked at 70. The nights got down to in the 30's. Location was good. Quiet neighborhood not far from Brattleboro.I have rented from VRBO and this is the first time I have to say I would never go back to that house.

Month-Long Stay

Month-long stay during summer. Overall, very good. Great things: strong wifi; water pressure; views out ALL windows; quiet and peaceful - at night anyway. Not so great things: dealing w/ the neighbors’ ATV ‘block party’ (noise/dust/fumes) the second half of our stay; dealing w/ the fallout of an unsecured trash bin (neighbors’ bins were all secure) and unreliable/unpredictable garbage pickup in major bear country (fallout: cleaning up strewn garbage, worrying about host incurring incident fees, storing weekly garbage in mud room in the heat of summer). We still had a great time and enjoyed the house very much.

Easy and amazing weekend VT getaway

We loved the property, quiet and nice place. Our kids loved the style of the home, and the community pool and arcade, which had very pleasant and helpful staff providing goggles and life jackets for our kids. I enjoyed the hot tub, the clean house with everythwe needed, and above all, the owner was very responsive and helpful. We'll definitely try to book again for our next trip to Vermont!

Clean, comfortable house with great woodstove

I stayed at this Chimney Hill house for 3 nights with my husband, brother and two adult sons. We were pleased with an abundant supply of firewood for the big woodstove which kept the whole house warm and cozy for the whole stay. There is also central heating, which we didn’t need much of. There are ceiling fans to distribute the heat. Many rentals do not supply firewood. The bed linens and towels were very fresh and clean and abundant. There were two bathrooms, both with showers and one with washer and dryer, a big plus with a larger group. We particularly liked the wide-open loft bedroom. I like to cook; this was the best equipped kitchen I have ever had in a VRBO rental. We had a chance to visit the clubhouse indoor pool and hot tub, where the staff was very friendly and helpful. Communication with the owner was excellent. We would definitely stay here again if we ever ski at Mt.Snow again.

Authentic VT experience

We have stayed at this property multiple times and enjoy it more each visit! The solitude away from crowds, the wood stove, the coziness - it is like home away from home. Joe is a super good guy and the home is stocked with all you need to make it a great ski/VT experience. Our boys especially love the sound system and old movie collection. We will be back for sure!

Will definitely be back!

My husband and I rented Joe's house for a long weekend for our anniversary. We were looking for something different and had never been to VT before so figured we'd give it a try. We're SO glad we did! Joe's communication was A+ and his house is great. The pictures are very accurate which isn't always the case with rentals. One of the most important things I want to say is that I've never stayed at a place that is so well supplied and well equipped! From toilet paper to towels/facecloths to shampoo's etc...you name it and it was there and plenty of it. The bed we slept in was SO comfy, too! The property is great if you're traveling with anyone that has trouble with stairs as there is a bedroom and full bath on the main floor. The upstairs bathroom could use a little updating, but it was very clean and functional and that's what is most important to us so not a big deal whatsoever. The location of the house is great. You drive up some winding roads (some dirt) up the mountain to a wooded lot which seemed very secluded with all the trees even though there are neighbors. The large deck with the gas grill was perfect for making meals and a short drive into town are some great places to eat and shop. The three places we ate at were Dots, The Last Chair, and the Bullwheel at the summit of Mount Snow. I would highly recommend all three. The only complaint we had was that we wished we had more time! We will definitely be back!

a real bummer. could not travel as my wife had an arm atm and leg injury and we lost all our rental money which didnt help her pain. a return of some money or some arrangenent would have been a nice gesture.. reached out to owner butno reply. from him. some money or 2-3 days if he had weekday vacancy would be a nice gesture. we rented our Wilmington home to others and was always considerate of our renters wants and needs. it was never about the money. people sure are different.’ if you could help in anyway we would be most grateful. thank you. jim

A perfect mountain getaway

My two brothers, my father, and I booked this cabin for a day 10 day trip in November. We have zero complaints. The house was fully furnished with all of needs, including plenty of fire wood to keep the house feeling cozy! The location was the perfection blend of privacy and accessibility. The house fit the four of us quite comfortably. We had zero issues at all and things could not have gone smoother. Thanks again Joe, for your wonderful hospitality!

Funky, fun, quiet, lovely

For the price, this is a great place to bring a group. My pal flaked out so this was a bit large for one guy, but I loved having a fire and a porch in the moonlight with just wind chimes, wild clouds and some distant neighbors out in the woods. This is a janky place in the best way. Don't expect modern delights! Go back to the 70s and enjoy. Host Joe was on point when I needed him. 8 to 10 minutes above Wilmington by the way. Good times!

About the host

Hosted by Joseph Rogers

Host profile image
I am a retired ESPN broadcast engineer - a lifetime in the electronics field. This home was purchased in 2002 and was used exclusively by my family until 2017 when I retired. We skied every weekend from mid-November to April every year at Mount Snow. In the summer the Harriman Reservoir was my favorite place.

Why they chose this property

This home is in a great location high in the Southern Green Mountains within the Chimney Hill 4 seasons resort with many amenities and minutes to the Mount Snow Ski resort.
The town of Wilmington center only 10 minutes away with everything from a grocery store to a pharmacy can found. The area is loaded with small shops and restaurants for you to visit.

What makes this property unique

Vermont's closest major ski resort to metropolitan areas with world class skiing and riding only minutes away - Mount Snow!!!.

Snowmobile from the driveway of the home right onto Vermont VAST trail system.

The Haystack Mountain/Ridge trail head walking distance from the house. The trail leads to the summit of Haystack Mountain and then continues along the ridge line of the Southern Green Mountains to the summit of Mt Snow.

The Harriman Reservoir is a treasure in itself. The reservoir is used for power generation and by rules set long ago the lake and the surrounding land remain undeveloped and open as public recreation area from sunrise to sunset. The lake is fed by many mountain streams and rivers and in the sun light there's a nearly 10 foot visibility. Perfect for water sports from fishing to water skiing. Boat launches and picnic areas can be found at several areas around lake. Rentals of boats, personal watercraft aka "jet skis," canoes and kayaks are available at boat launch at far north end of reservoir (Rt 9).

Enjoy!!!
