This was our second stay at this property. The home is spacious with plenty of sleeping options. The kitchen is well stocked, and the dining room table pulls out to accommodate a large crowd! We were in the area celebrating our son’s graduation from Norwich University. This home was the perfect space for enjoying the weekend with our family!

This is a very special house with awe inspiring views of the Green Mountains. If you are a skier, you can fantasize about speeding down the trails you will see from the deck but we non-skiers never tired of just enjoying the mountains with coffee in the morning or with a bread and cheese picnic on the deck or at sunset. This is a big house but we were a small family who felt right at home. Everything was clean and in working order and the owner was very prompt to answer questions. I can't say enough about the Vermonters who helped us out on the 4th of July when we developed car trouble. The Mad River Valley is our favorite corner of Vermont.

The house was perfect for our family ski trip to Sugarbush - Glenn was always available to answer any questions and provided lots of info about the house and the Mad River Valley - the beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked for our stay - the very charming town of Waitsfield was a few minutes from the house - you even get to go over a covered bridge to get there - and it was an easy drive to the mountain - couldn't ask for more!

Excellent chalet for a large family weekend. We stayed in the summer. Great views from the deck and perfect socializing areas. Beds were very comfortable. The property is very secluded but not too far from town. Up a few dirt roads and then a gravel driveway. Would highly recommend!

Cozy ski cabin for college friend reunion

We had such a great time staying at this VRBO. It was great location to drive to Sugarbush, grab something at the grocery store or stop at Lawsons. Driveway is steep and needed to be plowed for us to get up, but a plow guy was very close by and able to do that for us within an hour. Very cozy cabin, great for big groups.

One of the better houses we have stayed at

Great option for a large group, about 20 minutes from sugarbush slopes. Great fireplace, lots of wood, good beds, lots of space to spread out. Driveway can be tough in winter if you don't have a properly equipped vehicle (snow tires and/or AWD)

Great spot!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glenn's house. It worked very well for our family with four adult children and their partners. It was spacious, with great views of Sugarbush and Mount Ellen. We really enjoyed sitting out on the porch. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped.

Winter Stay

We had a great time staying here, it was super easy to access, and communicate with Glen. The driveway is steep so if you do not have a reliable car in the snow, be careful. The rooms were clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to fuel up before skiing. We built a fire and it was so coxy/relaxing. I would book here agin.

family vacation

Had a short but enjoyable family vacation at Glenn's property. Grandparents got the master suite and the rest of us were downstairs. It was very comfortable and the views are great! Waitsfield is conveniently located at the foot of the hill. The Von Trapp store sold local meat and cheese which was really cool. Glenn was accommodating with check in and check out times.

Graduation weekend in Vermont

We were in the area for our son’s graduation from Norwich University. The 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms allowed our group plenty of space to spread out. Our older guests were grateful for a bedroom suite on the main floor. The large dining table was perfect for a celebratory meal after graduation. The views of Sugar Bush can’t be beat! Communication with the landlord was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much!
