The first floor boasts a roomy open floor plan with plenty of light and views of the river across the street and local hills. The living area is inviting and offers a large sectional sofa strategically placed near the wood-burning fireplace and TV; pick a DVD from the collection and watch your favorite movie while the fire crackles in the distance. This secluded getaway has an enclosed yard where your dog or dogs can run around freely. Yes, Wardsboro Family Escape is dog-friendly for a small fee! The spacious kitchen boasts modern appliances and utensils to make cooking a breeze. Perch at the breakfast bar, or gather together in the charming dining space.

The location is perfect for those who love outdoor activities and those who love to decompress and spend time in a beautiful place doing nothing. Wardsboro is an ideal representation of the typical Vermont small town and has the feel of Norman Rockwell's America. This charming retreat is located steps away from the historic Wardsboro Country Store. Stratton Mountain is 15.5 miles away offering hiking, snowboarding, skiing, Nordic skiing, downhill skiing, and sledding. Pack your clubs and hit the links at Stratton Mountain Golf Course, 16 miles away. Mt Snow, a true outdoor haven, is a short 10-mile drive southwest.

We loved the open floor plan, large dining table and cleanliness. There are some easy improvements that need to be done: new set of pots and pans, utensils etc, just get rid of the hot tub (smells so bad), fix lower oven (temp was way off when trying to cook), had an extremely difficult time getting the tv and audio to work (quickly resolved with Vacasa) and the tap water smelled like rotten eggs in all sinks and showers. We had to brush our teeth and cook with bottled water. The place overall is good but could use these simple updates.

We had a big group and this house was perfect! Living space was awesome and spacious. Very clean. You can hear the river. Very dog friendly with fenced yard and bowls for your pet. Even some toys :) Kitchen has everything you would need for your getaway. It was very hot and humid, we used all the fans we could find :) And the vinyl record collection was a great touch for our stay. We loved spending our weekend here. Highly recommend! Thanks for sharing your space. Nj/ny group

Very nice, big house. Major problem, the hot tub was out of service. We specifically wanted a house with a hot tub to relax in after skiing. This cut the search options from over 80 houses to just a few. Houses without hot tubs were less expensive and in some cases closer to the mountain, but we paid a premium to have a hot tub. Extremely disappointed to find it out of service and not made aware beforehand. After the trip i contacted the management company Vacasa via phone. The customer service representative abruptly said they noted the complaint and someone would contact me within 24hrs. I never got a follow up. Terrible customer service from Vacasa.

Overall, this residence achieved what we were hoping in that it was comfortable and reasonably convenient to Stratton, but the hot tub wasn’t working and looked like it needed cleaning. The hot tub room had a smell also. If hot tub isn’t a deal breaker for you then this is a good option.

A few things about this property caught me off guard. Its operated by Vacasa, which for the most part was fine. But there was no one locally to help you if something is wrong or ask questions to that actually knows anything about the property. For example after booking this property I found out there is only space for 2 -3 cars to park. And if snowing they dont recommend using the driveway because of falling snow. This house is suppose sleep 12 and can only hold 2 cars? I wrote messages to Vacasa and received no response so I called them and the answer was to park vehicles "downtown" and shuttle people back and fourth to the property. Needless to say we figured it out on our own, with no help from Vacasa. The house, the beds, and bathrooms were all clean. The hot tub was unusable, there is a distinct smell coming off of it and it we tested the water with a test kit we found showing little to no chlorine. The house and the hot tub we both under 50 degrees when we arrived. The house took about 4 hours to get back up to 65 degrees. This is a decent ski house in a good location. The house needs some TLC, new appliances, and better parking.

Very interesting indoor space. Inadequate fans for conditions. Very clean. Because of electric outage we made the decision to leave early, as it was getting dark. No lights, no water meant a hurried, incomplete exit
