About this property

Sugarbush/Mt. Ellen Year-Round Sanctuary

Beautifully crafted, timber-frame house (constructed in 2014) offers year-round enjoyment. Sitting atop Chase Brook, the house is privately tucked away off of Mt. Ellen Access Rd, providing great privacy, but also convenient access to the best skiing/snowboarding in the Valley. Mt. Ellen is a quick quarter of a mile up the road, while Lincoln Peak (Sugarbush base) and Mad River Glen are both 3 miles away! Best of all the Mad River Bus can be caught at the end of the driveway taking you to either Sugarbush peaks. Aside from skiing, a network of trails for cross country skiing and snow shoeing in the winter or hiking and mountain biking in the summer, can be accessed just across Chase Brook. Those trails include the Mad River and Catamount Trails.

Summer is wonderful time to visit the area, with fishing, kayaking, and swimming holes and countless trails for hiking and biking nearby. Sugarbush Resort boasts a beautiful and sprawling golf course, tennis courts, and numerous summer activities for all ages.

The home has spacious accommodations with a well appointed gourmet kitchen and breakfast bar, a dining table that accommodates 6 people, a great room with a stone fireplace, and one-of-a-kind deck overlooking Chase Brook. Upstairs three bedrooms, two with queens and one with two twins, can comfortably accommodate two couples or a small family. The finished basement with sectional sofa and LED TV and DVD player provides space for children and adults to unwind. A sofa bed and sleeping loft offer even more sleeping options.

Linens and towels provided.

We are sorry we cannot offer a seasonal rental at this time.

Beautiful home located in the heart of the Sugarbush area. Loved hearing the stream running adjacent to the house. Home was fully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend. Owners were fantastic to work with and very responsive. I would definitely stay there again.

Mad River Valley Powder Day

My family was lucky to catch 10" of snow for a powder filled weekend. The house is a great location to ski Mad River and Sugarbush. Clean and comfortable couldn't be happier to find this Gem.

Fabulous VT Cabin

This cabin offered the perfect holiday retreat for our family of three generations. It was very clean and spacious for our group of 4. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living space was perfect for reading and playing board games by the fire. Perfect for skiers since Mt. Ellen is just up the road. It is probably more spacious overall than the photos suggest. The interior beams, floors and woodwork are all beautifully done, as are the bathrooms. The owner is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We couldn't have asked for anything more. This place was great and we would return in a heartbeat.

The house was exactly as pictured - probably better :) We had everything we needed and the location was perfect for us. There was even a trailhead within walking distance from the house that was good enough for us to just get out and enjoy nature. It was a little colder than normal and rained almost every day we were there, but that meant we got to relax a bit more in the comfy chairs and couches and even had a fire one night. The stream running behind the house had lots of water from all the rain and the babbling sound was just slightly audible inside. Very peaceful! The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was comfortable and the showers were nice and warm with good water pressure. Communication with the owners was great. You can tell that the owners love their house and we are grateful that they allowed us to stay in their home for our (too-short) vacation.

House on a Brook

My family leaves near the ocean north of Boston, but we are originally from West Virginia and love the mountains. Part of what we love are the beautiful rivers and tributaries. Steve's place scratched that itch for us. This well-maintained and tastefully furnished and decorated house is sitting almost on top of a rushing brook which can be accessed from the backyard. Even though the house is worth the price, the deck knocks it out of the park. The huge deck is under the trees and allows you to hang out almost directly over the brook. Just open the windows to sleep to the awesome sound of the rushing water if you'd like. We did! The location was great for a summer stay, as trail heads and swimming holes were only a few minutes away. I imagine ski season would be amazing as it is a short distance from the local Sugarbush base lodges. We'd love to return and highly recommend!

Relaxing stay at a beautiful house

Everything was just perfect at this lovely house - from the layout of the interior to the view of the rushing stream in the backyard to the awesome porch. We felt at home right away, and loved every minute of our stay here. We're looking forward to coming back again in the future!

Lovely Retreat

Our family loved this beautiful home which is in a picturesque setting with a large deck overlooking a brook. The house is very well designed. It felt spacious, airy, and was quite comfortably furnished. If you're looking for a place for relaxation and restoration, you've found it. We hope to enjoy its charms again soon.

Great Ski Weekend

The house and location were perfect for a great time skiing MLK Weekend at Sugarbush with 20" of powder. It was a great spot for the family to come back and relax at the end of the day, the fireplace was great to keep us all warm on a cold weekend. The house is clean and well put together for a family to visit.
