The property was very private and not that far from downtown Stowe - maybe 10-15 min. We really enjoyed the open concept family room/kitchen that was extremely well stocked for cooking - coming from someone who does extensive cooking. Loved the high ceilings on the second floor and the post & beam style architecture. The hot tub was very nice! We also liked the large deck overlooking the mountains that included a propane Weber grill, which was really nice for BBQ's. The week we stayed was very hot (85-90 degrees) and I guess we assumed the house had air conditioning, so it was quite hot in the afternoons and evenings. We made due with the fans and ceiling fan in the MBR. Most of the late afternoons it rained and some of the evenings it poured, sometimes making it difficult to open the windows for ventilation and making sure the rain didn't come into the house. Apart from the heat, the house was very nice and we would rent it again, perhaps in a cooler month. Zeph was very easy to communicate with via text.
If you are looking for a really nice, well stocked home, with privacy, located near downtown Stowe and skiing, then you should definitely consider this one!
