About this property

Romantic Cabin: Pets OK, Close to Town, Wood stove, 1 Bdrm + Loft, 8 mi. to ski

Goldilocks cabin is a cozy retreat for a romantic getaway, and perfect for small families as well. The cabin is located on Stowe Hollow Road, a residential area of widely spaced lots, just 1 mile from Stowe village, eight miles to Mt. Mansfield and skiing, and just a few miles to the Pinnacle, one of the most spectacular hikes in Vermont. So, if you are looking for a secluded cabin in the woods, Goldilocks may not be your best choice, but if you want a charming and unique, conveniently located cabin, which is easily accessible in all weather conditions, Goldilocks is just right.

Goldilocks is well appointed with Black Forest and French antiques, and antler chandeliers--the perfect combination of rustic and luxury. The piping hot wood stove and the chiming cuckoo clock make this cabin a cozy retreat after a day of hiking or skiing. The large master bedroom has an antique four poster bed, complete with a sumptuous mattress, and a alcove with a desk. The sleeping loft (a favorite of older children) is accessed by a ladder and has a full size bed. There is a sleeper sofa in the living room, as well. The cabin has two decks a gas barbecue, and a fire pit. Goldilocks is pet-friendly. Well behaved, approved pets are always welcome.

Guests often mention our attention to detail as one of the many reasons this cabin exceeded their expectations. Goldilocks cabin is just right.

Amenities: Wifi, well appointed kitchen with dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker and a gas stove. Dining area seats 6. Laundry room with washer and dryer. Wood stove. Television. CD player, VCR. Two decks, barbecue,and mud room for ski storage. Approved pets OK.

Activities: Minutes from skiing, miles of snow-shoeing, and cross country skiing, biking, hiking, fishing. Close to town and shopping. Six restaurants within a two mile drive. Great antiquing around Stowe, Farmer's market. Burlington is a 35 mile drive.

The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. It was pet friendly with enough yard to walk the dog. The cottage was conveniently close to town and not a bad drive to the ski slope. I would stay again.

We had the best return to Goldilocks this Thanksgiving. The cottage is uber charming and comfortable with everything you might need. The kitchen was stocked, as was wood for the woodburning stove. The location cant be beat, it's just a great cozy spot to relax.

The listing says the cabin is conveniently located near town and that’s it’s not secluded in the woods. This is true but the wording was cleverly phrased to not mention the fact that it’s directly on a main road, which feels misleading. There is room for improvement as far as cleanliness goes and I’d be happy to provide more information if desired. Nonetheless the cabin was unique in its decor, had stainless steel cookware and the wood burning stove was set up nicely to enjoy. All of these factors made it cozy and that was appreciated. Overall, we did enjoy our stay and made nice memories. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.
