About this property

Cozy 2BR Mt Ellen Condo - Fireplace, Hot Tub, Pool & Sauna, Walk to Slopes

Fiddlehead Condominium is nestled at the base of Mount Ellen, the North mountain of Sugarbush Ski Area, with a scenic woodland trail connecting directly to the base lodge—just a 5-to-10-minute walk (ski down when snow coverage allows!). The Fiddlehead grounds include a tennis court, seasonal swimming pool, fire pit, and trails for hiking and snowshoeing.

This fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, ground-level condo comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests, ideal for 2 couples or families of 4. The master bedroom features a king bed with a private en suite bathroom, while the guest room offers a queen bed. An extra-long living room sofa provides flexible sleeping space for a fifth guest, and we also have a twin inflatable mattress available. All three rooms feature glass sliders opening onto private balconies with wooded views.

Unwind by the cozy gas fireplace after your mountain adventures. Entertainment includes a 55" TV in the living room, BluRay/DVD player with a large movie collection, and complimentary wireless internet. The master bath features a modern rainwater shower, and both bathrooms have supplemental heating for extra comfort. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, and the unit has in-unit washer and dryer for your convenience.

AMENITIES & RECREATION: The common area game/recreation room features shuffleboard, ping pong, and foosball tables—perfect for family fun. In winter, soothe tired muscles in the 10-person indoor hot tub and sauna after skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, or exploring the area. During summer months, the outdoor pool and grilling area are ideal for relaxing after hiking, mountain biking, golfing, or exploring the Mad River Valley's charming villages and local breweries.

YEAR-ROUND ADVENTURES: While Sugarbush offers world-class winter skiing, summer brings spectacular hiking, mountain biking on mountain trails, kayaking, and events like the Mad Marathon, Mountain Music Festival, and Green Mountain Stage Race. The picturesque village of Waitsfield is just minutes away with farm-to-table dining, craft breweries, and authentic Vermont shopping.

Great condo for skiers alike.

The location is amazing for those looking to take advantage of Sugarbush for hiking or skiing depending on the season. A great open space to unwind after a day on the slopes with common area access to a sauna, hot tub and game room. The place is well unkept and beautifully furnished. Would certainly stay here again!

Great spot to take in rural Vermont and the fall leaves

Beautiful area of Vermont to take in the spectacular fall foliage and see many areas of rural Vermont. Though it's a bit off the beaten path, it was fairly centrally located to really explore the small towns in the area and had amazing views of the changing leaves. It was nice and quiet in the condo since it was off season for skiing and a perfect respite from the day's site seeing. Very comfortable and well appointed. Great place to stay!

Ski Weekend Getaway

We had an amazing stay at this cozy Sugarbush getaway! The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped, making it so easy to cook meals after long days on the slopes. The rooms were super comfortable and felt like a home away from home. It truly had everything we needed for a perfect ski weekend. The short jaunt through the woods to Mount Ellen was great. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Comfy 2 Bdrm Condo at Sugarbush Ski Mountain

So glad we decided to stay here. This condo is exceptionally clean and well cared for. The beds and linens are top notch. And so are all the appliances. The owners were very helpful when we had questions. And the bonus is the huge hot tub in the common area. Definitely recommend renting this place.

Loved it!

We had a great stay at the condo. It was very comfortable and clean and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked. The location was also a huge plus. Remote feeling but only 7-8 minutes from the grocery, etc. Loved the little walk/ski/pond skim to the lifts :-)

Lovely stay

It was very nice and quiet we loved the location. It was far enough from town to not have all the traffic but close enough to all the amenities that we didn’t have to drive forever for amazing food and entertainment. We will definitely be staying again hopefully in the future. Super clean! Everyone we met or talked to was super friendly. Truly an amazing place.

About the host

Hosted by Christopher and Augusta

Host profile image
We're lifelong New Englanders who enjoy four-season mountain adventuring—skiing, hiking, and everything Vermont offers year-round. We fell in love with Sugarbush's beauty in every season and all that the Mad River Valley has to offer. It's our pleasure to share this special place with fellow outdoor adventurers.

Why they chose this property

Living in Boston (and now Hong Kong and Lisbon), Fiddlehead is our escape to Vermont's authentic mountain life. The Mad River Valley truly has it all: world-class skiing and hiking at Sugarbush, the Mad River for swimming and tubing, craft brewery tours at Lawson's Finest and The Alchemist, the famous Ben & Jerry's factory, and championship golf courses.

Vermont's culinary scene shines here—discover award-winning local cheeses, artisan maple products, and gourmet provisions at The Taste Place, then enjoy farm-to-table dining at exceptional restaurants or stock up at the vibrant farmer's market.

Beyond the valley, explore Montpelier (30 minutes away)—America's smallest and most charming state capital. Wander its walkable downtown filled with independent bookstores, artisan shops, eclectic restaurants, and year-round community events that capture Vermont's creative spirit.

It's the perfect balance of adventure and authentic Vermont culture—close enough for weekend getaways, peaceful enough to truly disconnect.

What makes this property unique

Fiddlehead offers unbeatable location—tucked into tranquil woods yet with unrivaled proximity to Mt. Ellen's base lodge. Skip the resort parking chaos while enjoying genuine near-slopeside convenience. Miles of private trails surrounding the property provide direct access to snowshoeing in winter and hiking or mountain biking in warmer months.

Our fully renovated condo combines modern comfort (gas fireplace, rainwater shower, updated kitchen) with several on-site amenities—winter hot tub and sauna, summer pool, year-round game room. It's resort-style living in a private forest setting.
