About this property
Private 5BR mt. view, pool, new hot tub, & fireplace!
We are excited to share our relaxing, scenic Vermont home with you. From the beautiful mountain view sunsets to the stone patio and fire pit to the relaxing hot tub to the refreshing pool (for 2025, open Memorial-Labor Day+ -- double check with us to see if it is still open), if you are looking for an escape, this is the space for you. Enjoy skiing at Sugarbush or many of the other mountains in the area, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, long walks in the woods, a snooze in the hammock, or savor a glass of wine on the deck. Our pet-friendly home is in the Mad River Valley, with a 15 minute drive or less to Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, Mt. Ellen, Lareau Farm, the Round Barn Inn, dozens of hiking trails and waterfalls, and just a 7 minute drive from the shops and restaurants of Waitsfield and Warren. We are 15-20 minutes from Norwood University. The house can accommodate 12 comfortably and is perfect for families to share or getaways with friends. We have a level 2 EV charger available for guests.
Here's what to know before you come:
- In the winter, snow tires and/or 4x4 is required to be able to get up our driveway. The driveway is plowed and sanded, but it is steep.
- Our cozy and bright house has 5 bedrooms.
- The bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged as follows: 4 are on the 2nd floor; 2 with twins (one set is bunked, the other isn't and could be arranged side-by-side for a king, if desired), 1 has a full, and the master has a king. Three bedrooms share a full bath and the master has its own full bath with an extra deep tub. The 5th bedroom is in the light-filled basement, which exits out to the patio and hot tub. It has a queen bed, as well as a very comfortable (truly!) queen, pull-out couch air bed in the basement living room area. The basement has its own bathroom with a steam shower.
- There are additional twin mattresses in a closet if needed.
- The basement includes a bonus room with foosball table and futon, and a spacious living room that opens up to mountain views, the patio and the brand new hot tub.
- The kitchen is outfitted with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, dish soap, sponges, a dishwasher, food storage containers and wraps, a coffee maker with Keurig component, an espresso machine, a coffee bean grinder, and commonly used spices. We also provide vegetable oil and some staples (flour, sugar, etc.). We simply ask that if you use something up, you replace it. There is also gas BBQ available for use.
- The basement living room has a 46" smart TV with an Amazon Firestick, and the master bedroom has a 55" TV with the same.
- All of back-facing windows and the expansive deck enjoy gorgeous mountain views, including incredible sunsets. We have furnished the sun porch and deck so that you can enjoy as much of the beautiful scenery as possible with tables and chairs for eating and lounging.
- From Memorial Day to Labor Day, guests are welcome to the use the pool at their own risk. We are relatively new owners and continue to make improvements to the property, one of which is to repair the stone steps leading the the pool. The steps are usable, but one must be careful where a few stones are loose. Guests use the steps at their own risk. The pool will be closed mid-September until Memorial Day.
- Guests are also welcome to use the attached garage, equipped with a level-2 EV charger. You can obtain the garage door opener once you enter the house.
- You'll find the house stocked with an assortment of equipment and games, including snow shoes, 2 plastic sleds, 2 inner tubes, lawn games (badminton, horse shoes, bocce, croquet), board games and puzzles.
- Guests are free to use the double-sided fireplace with care, as well as the outdoor wood fire pit or outdoor gas fire table.
- We continue to make improvements to our grounds and gardens, including, a new hot tub that was installed in 2023. You will find hills for adventurous sledding in the winter, a mowed lawn for your outdoor use, a hammock hidden peacefully among the trees on the upper hill, and a mini-pond great for watching tadpoles and frogs in the warm months.
We welcome your feedback to make this a place you will want to come back to many times again.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Laura P.
We met in Washington DC almost 20 years ago. We have twin girls, and we love the outdoors. Our family has been vacationing in the Mad River Valley for the past 10+ years by staying at the homes of friends and families. When COVID hit, a very kind and generous friend let us stay in her home in the Valley for a month. We found refuge from city life among the green of the mountains and friendliness of Vermonters. Our kids were peaceful, happy and active; we were peaceful, happy and active. After several long conversations, we realized we wanted to put down some deeper roots in this beautiful part of our country. We spent most of the year in Washington DC, but escape to our beautiful home in Vermont as often as we can. We hope you will love it, too!
