About this property
Sugarhouse Lodge—A Secluded Hilltop Retreat
Beautiful 4 bedroom house on 5 secluded acres. Located at the end of a private lane just across the covered bridge from the quaint town of Waitsfield in the heart of the Mad River Valley. Only a few miles from Mad River Glen and Sugarbush ski resorts.
Open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and rustic wood-burning stove. There are two large bedrooms on the top floor, each with its own balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee and take in the mountain views. The master bedroom suite opens out to the wrap-around deck. The bottom floor is a large bedroom suite with its own recreation area with foosball table.
Slip into an Adirondack chair by the natural stone firepit and watch Scragg Mountain glow in the sunset. Relax in the hammock under the rustle of the tall trees. Hike or mountain bike the private trails maintained by the owners. Go for a stroll to enjoy the wildflowers and pick raspberries and blackberries in the summer. Hop on a bike and coast to the famous covered bridge swimming hole on the Mad River. Perhaps you would like to strap on some snowshoes (or hiking shoes) and take the hiking trails to Wu Ledges, accessible by a short walk from our driveway down the lane to the trail head. The view of the Mad River Valley from Wu Ledges is breathtaking in every season!
Kids will love the swing set with slide and clubhouse and the tree swing! There is even a small sledding hill on the property!
Snowshoes, bikes (with child seat), canoe, river tubes, sleds, and other equipment are available to help you enjoy the outdoors. In warm weather, Blueberry Lake, various swimming holes, waterfalls, and hiking trails are all nearby.
Attending an event at The Round Barn? The house is 0.7 miles away from this amazing venue.
If you are looking for a long weekend away, Sugarhouse Lodge is the way to go. Check-out is flexible, so you can make the most of your stay, and you can still ski the day you leave.
If interested, the town of Stowe is 45 minutes away and Killington is about an hour away.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
