Great Home Base

We had a great stay at the chalet. Even in the Summer heat, the house stayed cool enough and plenty of fans were supplied. The home was clean and well stocked. The location is an easy drive to Smuggler’s Notch and Stowe, and about 45 minutes to Burlington. Our dog loved exploring the property. We would definitely stay again.

Very cozy home close to Smuggler's Notch. It was great that we didn't have far to go after a whole day of skiing/snowboarding. Homeowners/Managers were very responsive with any questions. Would stay here again next time I'm in the area.

Great cabin right near Smuggler's Notch

We really enjoyed our time at the property. Our kids could spread out and relax and we were so close to Stowe and everything it has to offer. We enjoyed nearby hikes and watering holes and loved hanging by the firepit in the back yard too. We would definitely come back!

Perfect chalet in the woods

Our family absolutely loved staying at the chalet! The owners clearly put a lot of time into updating it and the attention to detail really shows. Everything was so well done and the house was well stocked with basics to make our stay easier. The chalet was adorable and highly recommend to anyone considering spending time in the Stowe, VT area.

It's a beautiful property to stay in. Everhthi g was set up perfectly. The only thing we wished for for A/C. We lucked out that the weather wasn't too warm, but it would have been nice for the lower bedrooms, for sleeping.

Home away from home!

The house was a delight! Such sweet touches that were noticed throughout~ from little bells that hung from the blanket rack in the living area to the small cast iron dog on the wall by the door to hang keys from his tail. Yes, sweetness, but also very well thought out to meet any renter's needs. We will return!

Great family trip

We had an amazing time in Vermont. We are from Miami and wanted to see snow. The house was super comfortable and clean. They had everything you needed. The owners were also very nice and answered all or questions within minutes of asking. I already referred friends and family to come and stay at the house. The house is also close to the airport and Stowe. Definitely would recommend staying here! Thank you for opening your house to us we had a memorable trip.

Neat and Clean

A big smile crossed my face when I opened the door to this clean, neat and tidy property. I think that it was the best of my dozen VRBO experiences. My family and I were skiing. Some of us drove in from the south up the mud bog. Coming in from VT 108 is recommended. My family could have used more towell bars.
