The host, Ab, had great communication throughout our stay. The home was amazing for what we needed it to be and the pictures almost dont do justice to how cozy and beautiful it is! Great space in the yard for the dog, wondeful views, super nice kitchen and living room and bedrooms were perfect and also had an great view from the inside balcony next to the main bedroom upstairs. Definitely recommend staying here for all of the above reasons and can definitely see us staying here again! Stayed for 3 nights with a dog, young daughter, wife, and myself.

Clean quintessential VT cabin in a great location with beautiful views of the mountains off the porch. Ab was very responsive to any questions we had and checked in throughout our stay to ensure we were comfortable. 3 of us were racing in the VT 50 so the proximity to Ascutney Ski Area was perfect. We would all stay here again.

Cozy and inviting

My husband and I stayed in the Red House for a long weekend. The communication leading up to and throughout our stay was exceptional. The home was warm and inviting with all the amenities you could ask for. We enjoyed exploring the area as well as relaxing by the fire with a movie. We will definitely be returning!

New house with an old vibe

We spent a relaxing week at the Red House, and really felt at home. Comfortable furniture, cool layout, well stocked kitchen materials, spectacular surroundings, isolated feeling even though there were houses fairly nearby. Ab was great about answering questions in a clear and timely fashion. Hope to stay there again in the near future.

A unique and stunning property

A really wonderful property. The set up of the main room is great. The indoor and outdoor space is well designed for both comfort and to appreciate the amazing views. I found this place to be even more beautiful than it was in the pictures. The host was very attentive and provided good information for us to have and responded quickly with any questions I had.

Christmas visit

We just returned from a four-day stay at the Red House and had a truly wonderful time with our adult children and other family members (staying nearby in Brownsville). The house is charming and comfortable with many unique touches, described repeatedly by our kids as “awesome”. What a lovely place to celebrate the holiday! Thank you!

Peaceful retreat

We connected with Ab last minute and were thrilled that the property was just as beautiful as described. We both needed a peaceful, relaxing and scenic spot to spend a week with our dog. The home was spotless and had everything we needed to make for a wonderful week. Spend great deal of time enjoying the view from the Adirondack chairs! Think we would love it in the fall too!

A slice of heaven

Exceeded expectations is all we can say. Everything was accurate from the pictures to the description of the house and property. But they don’t do it justice. What a beautiful place and the view is exceptional. Our family was truly sad to leave and that includes our 2 dogs. We had a great time exploring the area which included hiking, breweries and farms. The red house was central to everything and the hosts were incredible with communication and making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. In addition, they gave us tips on places to visit which were very helpful. I cannot say it enough about how beautiful and clean the house was. Vermont is such a great place to visit and we cannot wait to return. The red house would be our first choice to stay in the future.

Ab and House were wonderful

Ab is a wonderful and responsive host. The house is great, unique and those views! We loved the central location to different ski resorts and Ascutney 2 min away…while not a full ski resort has its place (and price) to squeeze in a few runs. Kids got some sled riding in the back of the house. We’ll be back!

Great Winter Retreat

My sister and I plan an annual uphill ski weekend every year. We chose the Red House for its proximity to Mt. Ascutney. It is .2 miles from the Brownville Trail and less than 2 miles from Mt. Ascutney. The house is absolutely stunning with beautiful views of the mountains. A Jotul gas stove makes it warm and cozy and it was perfect for our outdoor adventures. Ab was wonderful and accommodating. We brought our dog and he LOVED it because there is so much land around the house we could just open the door and let him hang out on the porch. I would love to go back in the summer.

Relax, Rest and Renew!

Our party of two with a lovely rescue dog LOVED our experience and the large porches that surround this adorable location. We used this location for some fun day trips to explore the surroundings and found it all so comfortable, quite and peaceful. We loved hearing the sheep BAHHHH next door from the pasture---and the views were all so pretty from inside and out. Great firepit--comfy couches, cute little hill perch and the ability to purchase great fresh meat, vegetables and fruit from Brownsville Butcher and Pantry, was perfect. Cooking, reading, and enjoying some down time was wonderful. Our favorite nearby town to explore was Woodstock--do not miss it! Just a reminder the bed is a queen size bed, so if you are used to a King bed, it will take a minute--so please read the descriptions well. Loved the feedback from the owner when we made a few personal suggestions to enhance the location that he already made-- great response! Definitely book this adorable place and enjoy the peace and serenity.

Nice stay at the little red house in Windsor

Stayed at the property with my husband and 2 dogs for 3 nights. We’re big hikers and found lots of nearby trail options, including a drive to the top of Mt. Ascutney for some trails up there (this is a must-do as a short 1.5 mile round trip to the observation tower will reward you with amazing, panoramic views!). We ate at the Maple Kitchen and Windsor Station. Both were good. Grabbed a steak at the Brownsville Butcher and deli and cooked on the grill the other night. Headed into Woodstock one day, which is about a 25-minute drive. The Bear Trail Subs and Sandwiches had a great breakfast sandwich, as did Boston Dreams (and fantastic coffee, too). The property was great for our needs. It’s private and nestled in, so we could let our dogs explore without worry. We enjoyed the fire pit and back deck for lounging in the afternoon sun. Overall, a wonderful stay. Thanks to Ab for making the booking process easy and our stay without issue.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are a family of three in the Boston area who love to go out and do things, and have been coming to Vermont for many years.

Why they chose this property

After many years of coming to Vermont, we chanced upon a house and a place we felt we would love to go back to time and time again. We were taken in by the scenery, lovely indoors and proximity to the ski slopes and the Upper Valley. We then wanted to share it with others. The Vermont Red House came into being!

What makes this property unique

The space is custom built for ease and comfort. The living room/kitchen with soaring ceilings lets you enjoy the outdoors from your perch. A fully appointed kitchen with top of the line applicances and spice rack makes meals fun and easy. The upper master suite is spacious, and the second bedroom downstairs has two bunk beds. The jotul fireplace creates a cozy space for relaxing and conversation. The wrap around deck and firepit offer plenty of opportunities to unwind and take the surroundings in. There is a 400mbps fast wifi-6 network in place, for the times you need to connect back with the world. There are also flat screen smart TVs in each bedroom for your entertainment. For snow lovers, there are a pair of snowshoes, a fancy LLBean snowtube, and a kids pull sled available to enjoy the surroundings and the Ascutney backcountry.
