This house was perfect for our Vermont getaway! The property is extremely clean and has everything you need for a week or more of stay. We enjoyed six wondeful days here. We've stayed many places in Vermont, but the view here beats everywhere I've ever been. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect get-away spot

We spent a week in late January and loved it! The views of the mountains, including the iconic Camel's Hump, were unparalleled and the scene shifted depending on the weather and the time of day. Within an easy drive of Stowe, where we went cross country skiing, but we also spent a lot of time reading in front of the fire.

Lovely mountain retreat

Marianne and Bob’s cabin was absolutely lovely and made for the perfect weekend getaway for our family of five. The house was immaculate and mountain views were absolutely breathtaking. It is situated at the top of hill and is approximately a 25 minute drive to Sugarbush for skiing. I’m sure this home makes for a wonderful retreat in any season.

Incredible view in amazing modern cottage

I didn’t really want to leave it. Just cuddle up under one of the many blankets and enjoy the view. It had all the amenities you could want and a few more. Some of the woodwork on the doors and furniture is incredible! Highly recommend.

This property is a unique gem to say the least. The views are breath taking, the architecture of the house gives it a feel of its own and Bob and Marianne are the best hosts on the planet. You are only about 20 minutes from Stowe and other smaller scenic towns and beautiful drives all around. This property will not disappoint and will leave you with a feeling of thankfulness that you were blessed enough to enjoy this truly unique and magical space.

Amazing retreat with access to everything you need in Vermont!

We had a fantastic time at Above the Clouds! We cannot say enough about the amazing place and experience that Marianne and Bob have created. They have thought of everything you could ever want in a retreat. They are there for as much or as little guidance as you need. Great recommendations for restaurants, markets, bakery and even chocolate. We felt right at home. We highly recommend this property and hope we can get back soon for another retreat!

Above The Clouds exceeded our expectations

This property was perfect for us. Great views. The attention to detail was perfect. Great taste from choosing kitchen appliances to art in the house and around the property. It rained two days and it was easy to just relax and read or listen to music. We're spoiled now. Thank you.

Lovingly Curated Experiance

There was nothing to be wanted throughout this stay. The items available for use in the house were lovingly curated to make the experiance everything you did not know you wanted it to be. It is clear the owners really care about their guests and want you to enjoy this special place as much as they do.
