We had an amazing stay at the Goldilocks Cabin. It’s beautifully decorated, with so many sweet and thoughtful details that truly make you feel like you’re on a movie set. The cabin is just a couple of minutes from downtown, where all the charming shops and restaurants are located.We felt very comfortable and had everything we needed. Our kids absolutely loved the loft area—it felt magical to them! The owners are incredibly kind and even allowed us to bring our dog at the very last minute, no questions asked.We highly recommend this gem to anyone looking to stay in Stowe.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The wood stove made it extra cozy at night, and the location was perfect—close to town, but still quiet and peaceful. The host’s communication was fantastic and made everything easy from check-in to checkout. We also really appreciated that it’s pet-friendly! Highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a relaxing mountain retreat.

Goldilocks Cottage was a relaxing cabin for our week in Stowe. The cottage was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the grounds were well kept. The location was great for the activities we planned, and it was comfortable to cook and eat at home in the evening. There was a quiet 2mile loop to walk each morning.

Nice little cottage....

The Goldilocks' Cottage is one of the nicest, and cleanest, places that we have stayed at in Stowe. We loved the hominess of it, the eccentric decor AND, the deer grazing just off the lawn one morning while we enjoyed our coffee on the back deck. A true treasure.

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
I am an interior designer who realized I could use my particular talents to create the type of vacation rental that I myself am always looking for. In this commoditized world of professionally managed properties it has become difficult to find the personalized and the unique. Goldilocks Cabin is the antidote to this predictability.

I am married to a tug boat captain, and we live on Nantucket island with our cat, Charlie, and three chickens.

Why they chose this property

Goldilocks Cabin was originally the ski cabin of the principal designer at the interior design firm where I was then employed. Together we had great fun decorating the cabin on buying trips to New York, the Paris Flea Market, and at our favorite Vermont antique stores. When my boss decided to buy a bigger house, I jumped at the chance to make Goldilocks Cabin my own.
