Rental cars and taxis available in the area if you would rather arrive by train or airplane.

We are located within 30 minutes of 4 major ski areas in Vermont, Stowe Mountain Resort, Bolton Valley, Sugarbush, and Mad River. There is a great sledding hill just outside the door, a wood-burning fire pit to gather around (also outside), high-speed internet, cable, and wi-fi.

Guests have exclusive access to the hot tub, pool table, sauna, kitchen, washer/dryer, cable tv. There are also available sleds and snowshoes to use. During the summer the lake is a popular go to place with access to sand beach, canoes, and kayak. Walking paths, horseshoes, and an assortment of outside games.

We live in a separate part of the home and are available to answer questions about the home, the areas, where to go for great food, hiking, biking, breweries, wineries, museums, farmers' markets and special events. If a group doesn't need assistance, after check-in, we disappear but are available by phone for assistance.

We love the privacy, the natural beauty, the great swimming, boating, skiing, biking, hiking that is available at our fingertips. Award winning breweries, wineries, restaurants are within a few miles of this property.

In the winter, in this region, we recommend that our guests have 4-wheel drive vehicles. There is limited public transportation. Taxis are available.

Unique privacy aspect: Guests appreciate that they can stay up all night without disturbing neighbors. Enjoy late night sledding by moonlight and sitting around the fire pit.

Upon request we can provide you with information regarding fishing (including ice-fishing), ice skating, mountain-biking, outdoor concerts and more.

These things make our property truly unique.
All said, it’s as if you were at your own private resort

This property hit the highest marks during our family's stay. Absolutely beautiful setting, that is matched by the extremely comfortable and well appointed accommodations. The hosts provide everything you might want for a lovely getaway, and they add their own touch of warm hospitality. Highly recommend this property

We drove up to VT to be greeted by 10 inches of snow on Friday, which quickly melted allowing us to sit on the sunny lawn and enjoy the cloudless eclipse on Monday. The property is great, and Francine and Eric make the experience fabulous. They are available to answer any ques or give vacation suggestions. They know the area!! Bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice and comfortable and clean!! We used the desk in loft bedroom as a work space during the day as several of our family were working remotely during our visit. Although I do think it works as an addn bedroom. We did most of our cooking in the bottom level, but it was nice to have addn fridge room upstairs. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, plates etc. My husband and I stayed upstairs and it wasn't a prob moving between spaces. The walkways were covered and the deck upstairs had a beautiful view of the mountains. In warmer weather that's where I'd be dining. The pool table was fun, and the sauna and hot tub were used several times. We only had one car so it was nice to be able to walk down to the cider mill and grab a bite, or shop. Additionally there are several restaurants nearby and a large grocery store on the way. The property sits on a beautiful reservoir and they have several canoes to help you enjoy it. The Chittendens are excellent hosts, know Vermont, and make your stay very enjoyable. I would recommend this vacation spot without hesitation!

We arrived at the property and saw half a dozen deer as we drove down the driveway. The view from the property looks down across a lake with mountains in the distance. There were 10 of us and the 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms gave us plenty of room. We made great use of the BBQ, hot tub and pool table. Eric and Francine were amazing hosts who were available when needed but otherwise you wouldn't know they were around at all.

Property is secluded and QUIET, but yet still close to both Stow and Waterbury, minutes away. Property has plenty of activities you would not have to leave. A wonderful and peaceful place. Owners were very pleasant and helpful! They meet you at check-in and give tour of the house and details on the property--Different than any other VRBO, we kept waiting on a door lock code..lol Very nice exterior lighting, we came in at night and the lighting was most helpful. Upper deck is larger than the photo on the posting, and what an amazing added surprise! There is a very nice extra wide and long steps going from the parking area to the lower lawn, but there is no walkway from those steps to the lower entrance, making it a bit of a struggle for our heavy suitcases. There are 5 beds with a 6th being the Hide-A-Bed but not true 5 bedrooms. The posting communicates there are 5 bedrooms, but the upper space, has 2 beds but no privacy, one bed is up a spiral staircase and no door, one in the main area along with kitchenette and bathroom. Lower level dining/living is a 10 seat table and a single couch. There is no area to just "lounge" all together to watch a movie or chitchat. Privacy--The owners live on property, and this is an active property so the owners were out in the yard doing maintenance, it was unfortunate for us some garden work took place by way of a tractor at 8am, and no notice was given. We would stay again, this place is a gem!!!

This is our third year staying here. It's the perfect place for us. We spend 90 percent of our time just hanging out. No need to go to town. We plan to continue coming every year.

Most enjoyable. The house was perfect and there was a lot to do to keep ourselves occupied. There were tons of games and the short walk to the lake was perfect to keep cool. Eric and Francine were the perfect Host and Hostess. They were very attentive and saw to our every need. We would definitely come again! Tom & Doreen
