We had a lovely stay in the Vermont Treehouse, one of the most architecturally fascinating houses I've seen anywhere in the world.
The treehouse isn't an actual treehouse, but built on the edge of a 60 foot cliff, this four story home rises up high above it, with gorgeous windows looking out at the trees growing up from below. Because we were here during the full display of fall colors, the view outside was unbelievable.
Full of cozy nooks and corners, each story is a little smaller than the one before, finishing in a carpeted, open attic space with enough space to sleep or curl up with a book. From the hot tub on the ground floor to the fire on the second floor, as well as the sauna outside, there's plenty of opportunity to warm up after a long day (this house is just 20 minutes from downtown Stowe and an hour from Burlington, both of which we visited).
All the amenities of your actual home are here, washing machine and dryer with detergent, dishwasher with soap, lots of towels, etc., rather than some places I've stayed that have amenities but no means to use them.
Every traveler will appreciate the whimsy of this Johnson, Vermont Treehouse, from the spiral staircase up to the top floor, to the window seat up above. I highly recommend a visit, both for the serious skier and the casual vacationist who wants to visit true Vermont, try Vermont Apple cider or maple syrup, or wander famous Eastern towns like Stowe, Burlington, etc. Sandy, the owner, is just down the road, and was easy to reach with any of our concerns (we had a fairly late arrival time and then ended up coming a day late).
Also, the wifi was blazing fast- fast enough to play online games :).
