We enjoyed this cozy and spacious ‘suite’. Much more room than a hotel - spacious bathroom, dinette area, and bedroom. Very clean!
Walked to Waitsfield for dinner via wooden pedestrian bridge.
Owners very responsive and helpful.
Would stay again!

The vrbo was great. The door to enter is on the left side of the house and go up the stairs right when you walk in. Once upstairs there is a little breakfast area outside of the bedroom, a large bathroom and the bedroom with two beds, tv and couch. The space was a little larger than I expected. It was great. As a heads up this is walkable to the restaurant “peasant” but need to make reservations well in advance on weekends (I’d assume a couple weeks). I would definitely recommend this vrbo and would stay there again.

Great space and you can walk into town. Huge bathroom and tub - no shower. Huge bedroom, bed and pillows. Nice to have a little kitchenette between those rooms

I can’t say enough good things! It was a beautiful farmhouse with easy access to the village. It was very clean and as described and the tub was wonderful! They provided some coffee and tea and they have a microwave, fridge and toaster to make some quick meals if needed. I met Rachel outside in passing and she was very nice and responsive during my stay. Such a cozy classic Vermont feeling space! Felt very safe as a solo female traveler here!

Farmhouse charm
Our stay at Rachel's farmhouse was everything that we expected and more. The property is in a beautiful location, steps away from a charming wood bridge, local shops and small eateries in Waitsfield. It backs against beautiful Mad River with a walking path nearby. There is easy access to Sugarbush, Mt. Ellen and Mad River Glen ski areas. Free shuttle is at the end of the street. However, if you want to explore the area more, it's best to have a car. We didn't actually meet the owners but Rachel communicated very clearly before and during our stay and we knew how to contact her if anything came up. She left the loveliest treats outside our door for Valentine's Day. If you're looking for a low key vacation in a picturesque Vermont setting that is not over-touristy, this is the place to be. We'll be back.

Very Nice and so happy I found this place !
My daughter and I had a wonderful weekend at this property . We arrived late due to traffic and at 9:00 pm after a 61/2 hour trip I was tired and it was so nice upon my arrival to have the owner come out to let me know I was parking in the right space and if there was anything I need to let them know . The place was very clean and the bed was super comfortable and wonderful linens . Very spacious and the owners were always available to answer my questions . The location was also perfect . Thank
you so much ! (a great bath tub as well) !!

Great stay!
This was such a lovely space! Felt like a cozy, old farmhouse but also elegant. The place was impeccably clean and comfortable. The best part is that it's steps from Waitsfield's covered bridge!

Long weekend
Quaint little room on old farmhouse. Heads up to those tall travelers, the shower does not accommodate well. My husband who is 6’1 was able to look over the top and found it difficult to rinse with the hand held sprayer. Overall the room was clean, but I did find numerous pet and/or human hair on the floor in the bathroom and in the tub. The room was quiet warm despite it being cooler outside, needed to utilize the a/c which was a little noisy. Close to town and fit the bill for our short stay.

Perfect weekend getaway!
Rachel’s cozy “apartment” was a charming place to stay for the weekend! It is so comfortable and convenient to everything in the Mad River Valley! Just steps from the river itself and the covered bridge in Waitsfield. We loved our stay!

Cozy weekend getaway
This was a fantastic getaway for me and my husband. Super quiet and cozy, walking distance to a few shops and just a short drive to some great local restaurants. The soaking tub was also a fun treat to take our relaxation to the next level! Would definitely stay again.

Charming farmhouse
My husband and I had a wonderful experience staying for the weekend in this charming farmhouse. The house is sitting in a picturesque small town in the middle of mad river valley. Love the covered bridge right next to the property. 10 Minute drive to Sugarbush ski resort. We will definitely return.

Relaxation Station
I love a good soaking tub and big bed like a cloud and this place hits the mark. The interior has lovely detail showing its history ~ I especially loved the wood floors. The tub has some mild peeling of the porcelain from water pooling and needs attention to not worsen the damage. Waitsfield is a great town with everything you could want in a Vermont vacation, though I wished the road the house is on had less traffic, that it was a more private setup in general. Excellent, friendly hosts ~ they shoveled my car out when we awoke to lots of heavy snow on my departure date :) Thanks for a great mini getaway!

Rachael’s Place
We had a very nice stay at Rachael’s Place for a couple days skiing. It is perfectly located with cool stores and take out restaurants nearby, not to mention Mt Ellen and Lincoln Peak. It’s a cozy little hideaway!

My review
My stay was very nice and my host couldn't have been more helpful. The one thing that would have made my stay a bit better would be a super small kitchen in the unit. There is a microwave, coffee maker and mini fridge in the unit, but a little sink and stove-top would have been perfect. Especially in the Covid era, I didn't want to rely only on take out food. The bed was the most comfortable think I have ever slept on!
