The house is beautiful and literally 2 minutes drive from Mt Ellen base lodge. The beds are extremely comfortable and the game room downstairs is an amazing space for kids. Huge TV downstairs where we watched the Super Bowl. Everything is the house is labeled wonderfully. The hot tub on deck was in great shape and heated up fast. The host Samantha was extremely responsive during our stay. Absolute 10 out 10. We’ll be back next year.

GAME TIME!!

Great house. Great location. Great gameroom!! We loved our stay here. Everything was just as advertised and perfect. Hot tub out by the stream, played a lot of Miss Pac-Man (brought me back to the 80s) got a decent late season snow dumpand just generally really enjoyed our stay. Hosts were in contact and available. Looking forward to our next stay.

The house is secluded and in a very peaceful setting. You need to have a sturdy vehicle as the road to the house is unpaved and subject to nature’s effects (we had some potholes to navigate due to a heavy rain). The outside is quaint and unassuming but the inside is updated, spacious, and furnished well. I loved the ski themes for the bedrooms and the decor throughout the house. We were staying as a family of 10 (7 adults and 3 kids (11,10,1.5) and had plenty of room. The gym had enough space and equipment for my needs. The game room was a huge bonus and kept the kids entertained for hours when the weather was not suitable for outdoor play. When the weather improved, the older 2 got to explore the yard to search for sticks for marshmallow roasting, salamanders and whatever else they came up with. The hot tub and deck with the stream in the backyard is the perfect setting to unwind. The rooms have plenty of space and the bed placement in each is well thought out. The upstairs bath has a water closet which was great because multiple people could use the bathroom at one time, but be mindful of the shower floor as it was a bit slick. The kitchen had everything we needed and was a great layout for all of us to hang out at once. The host, Samantha, was very responsive and checked in often to ensure we were taken care of, which was much appreciated! If you are in the Mad River area for any reason and need a place to stay, I would HIGHLY recommend staying here.

In the winter you can find me skiing with family and in the summer I’ll be roasting s’mores after a hike. As a property manager of Between the Pines, I enjoy providing an excellent short term rental experience in the Mad River Valley as well as working with children in education. Some of my other hobbies include yoga, piano, cooking and volunteering with my local environmental group.
