AMAZING property in a beautiful setting!

We came to Waitsfield for two days so that we could be in the path of totality for the 2024 North American eclipse. It was such an added treat to discover this wonderful home! There was plenty of room for our family to enjoy, a gorgeous deck overlooking a pond and stream, and a fantastic kitchen/dining/living area where we ate and played games for hours. We cooked breakfast each morning and appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, and at night we went outside to stargaze at a beautiful sky full of stars with no light pollution. The host, Theresa, was so thoughtful and communicative throughout. My kids LOVED this house (and especially the bookcase bedroom on the main floor!) and insist we plan a return visit. Hopefully we can come back again soon!

First Time Family Ski Vacation

Just got home from our stay and we are already thinking about when we can go back! The house had plenty of room for a comfortable multigenerational getaway. After a long day of skiing, the well equipped kitchen and large dining table made it easy for us to plan family dinners. There were plenty of board games, books, puzzles and sleds to keep the kids entertained. Even our dog was happy with the toys provided by the hosts and the outdoor lead. The location was perfect! We could get to Lincoln Peak or out to dinner within ten minutes. Our biggest regret was not staying longer!

This home provided a wonderful winter getaway to celebrate a 70th birthday party. The hosts are wonderful making sure we felt at home. The house fit the description and was well equipped with everything we needed and just a short drive from Sugarbush and many wonderful restaurants and shops. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to others!

Excellent ski vacation

This was a perfect house for our vacation! We had 6 teenagers with us, and there was plenty of space. The home is beautiful and clean. The beds were comfy. The hosts were fantastic...great communicators before we arrived and even sent us back a pair of earrings that my daughter left. Super convenient drive to Sugarbush for skiing! Best part was the open living, with a large family room, dining room and kitchen. We had the teens around us all the time because they watched movies, ate and lingered in the kitchen.

Thanksgiving Getaway in Vermont!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful Vermont home for our Thanksgiving family gathering, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the well-equipped kitchen to the spacious living areas, every detail made our stay truly memorable. The kitchen is an absolute dream for anyone who loves to cook. It's not just well-stocked with all the appliances we needed, but it's also beautifully designed. The hosts were amazingly helpful from the moment we booked. They provided clear and timely communication, and their attention to detail was evident throughout the property. Love the code for entry- made everything easy for all my family! From local recommendations to ensuring we had everything we needed, they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and stress-free. They also have all the equipment for visitors with pets or infants available in the house. The large, open spaces in the living and dining areas were perfect for our family gathering. There is even a home gym! The location of the home is ideal, situated near two ski resorts. This made it convenient for family members interested in hitting the slopes, and the rest of us enjoyed exploring the scenic surroundings - even hiked a portion of the Appalachian trail! Highly recommend!
