About this property

Hill House: Hilltop Retreat | 8 Min to Stowe | Hot Tub & Views

Set on a private hilltop between Stowe and Waterbury, Hill House offers easy access to Vermont's best mountain adventures, lake days, breweries, restaurants, and outdoor recreation.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, mountain biking adventure, foliage getaway, or long weekend with friends, you'll be close to everything that makes this corner of Vermont so special. Explore Stowe's shops, trails, recreation path, and mountain activities by day, then discover Waterbury's renowned breweries, restaurants, cider mills, and local attractions in the evening.

Spend your days hiking the Green Mountains, riding world-class mountain biking trails, or enjoying swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and beach access nearby. Then return to your private retreat to relax, reconnect, and recharge. Designed for families and groups traveling together, the home comfortably accommodates up to eight guests across three spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom for added privacy and convenience.

Inside, the open-concept kitchen, dining area, and great room create a welcoming space for gathering after a day outdoors. The fully equipped kitchen features premium appliances, a large island, generous prep space, and everything needed for memorable meals at home. Large windows fill the space with natural light while bringing the surrounding landscape indoors. With two distinct living spaces, everyone has room to spread out and unwind. Gather for meals, game nights, movies, or quiet mornings with coffee before heading out for the day's adventures.

Outside, the expansive deck becomes the natural gathering place for your group. Share meals, enjoy a drink around the outdoor fire lounge, relax in the hot tub, or simply take in the peaceful forest setting after a day of adventure. Additional amenities include central air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, Sonos throughout the home, EV charging, garage parking, a ski rack, and thoughtfully designed furnishings to make your stay comfortable and effortless.

Solar eclipse spot

Spent the whole weekend here for the solar eclipse—such a clean and comfortable property to hang out at for a few days. The kitchen had impressive appliances and there were more than enough comfort items like blankets, pillows, and towels. Easy to get to Stowe and Waterbury areas.
