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.

Beautiful ski house

We had such a nice stay here! The communication was great and the house is lovely. There is a huge fireplace that’s all set up and easy to use, beautiful views of the ski mountains, and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. We had 8 adults all housed very comfortably, and we cooked several meals and enjoyed them together at the big table. The couch is super comfy, the sound system is a nice touch, and the dryer is clutch for wet ski clothes. We hesitated at first about having to bring our own linens, but it turned out to be easy and so worth it!

The house was lovely. Unfortunately probably due to the weather this summer the lower level bedrooms were very damp even with the dehumidifiers going.

Lovely rustic house with beautiful views

Really enjoyed our stay at the chalet. The location couldn't be better, with beautiful views from the picture windows in the living area and porch, and only ~10 minutes drive from town. The house comfortably fit the 8 of us (with room to spare), and Glenn communicated everything super clearly so we had everything we needed during our stay. The only suggestion I'd have is it'd be great if the house came with linens/towels and soap/shampoo. No fault of the current listing as it's clear these aren't offered (and Glenn sent a friendly reminder in advance) but it definitely made the stay a bit more challenging for us given we were all flying in from across the country. Overall had a great stay and would happily come back next time I'm in the area!

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.

Perfect home

This house was perfect for us, we had a mix of adults (40s), young adults (early 20s), and young teens. The kitchen was well stocked with any pot, pan, or utensil we needed, down to the flat top for the stove! And a gas grill! Gorgeous mountain views from the living room/ dining room! Large deck that was perfect for morning coffee and watching sunsets in the evening. Love love love the house! One of the young teens loved ringing the gong when meals were ready :).

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!

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 house with a fantastic view!

We had 3 families (6 adults and 6 kids) stay to ring in the new year in this beautiful home. The location was about 20 minutes to Sugarbush where we skied every day and under 10 min to the center of Waitsfield. The spacious living room had ample space for everyone and the dining room accommodated all 12 of us for dinner each night. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. Great communication with owner regarding some changes in the linen service prior to our arrival. Looking forward to returning next year!

Great Location, Better View!

The chalet is in a perfect location up the hill above Waitsfield. The location is quiet & private, yet close to everything in town (restaurants, shops, groceries - Mehuron's Market is fabulous). Also close to many hiking trails including several access points to the Long Trail. As noted in previous reviews, the view across the Mad River Valley to the main ridge of the Green Mountains is wonderful - either thru the "wall of windows" in the great room or from the large deck. Since there were only 2 of us, we only used the main floor of the house. The bed was fine & there is a large stone fireplace that opens to both the great room & master bedroom. Kitchen was equipped with everything we need to prepare meals. Note that this is an older cabin, so some of the appliances, furnishings, etc. are dated, but everything worked fine. The owner (Glenn) was easy to contact & very helpful. He is planning to make some upgrades to the cabin later this fall. We had a wonderful time!

Absolutely stunning location looking across Mad River Vally toward Sugarbush Ski Mountain in Vermont

Wonderful for a larger family group. Large, comfortable great room with stunning picture window to mountain views. But plenty of private bedroom space for larger family groups. We were 10 family members staying for a wedding in nearby Waitsfield.

Great Place

We enjoyed a long weekend with good friends and family. The house suited our needs well. It was a good layout and we all had our space. Well stocked kitchen. Carpets were very tired, the basement smells stale but once we opened the windows and ran the humidifiers all was fine. Beds relatively comfortable. Beautiful deck with gorgeous views. Plenty of parking!! Glenn was very responsive. Would stay again!
