Loved our stay in the Green Mountains in this secluded house in the hills with beautiful views. Lots of stairs so keep that in mind but a nice and well kept home. Air conditioning not in all rooms but worked well in the ones that had them. It was unseasonably warm when we were there 4th of July week.

We had a lovely stay in Waitsfield. Communication was clear and thorough, and the house was perfect! Beautiful spot, close to downtown, and really delightful. Fun DVD collection, too! Specific to our trip, we had a great view of the solar eclipse.

So much to love about this property!
The house is surrounded by lush landscape plus acreage our son could explore with the dogs. While there is plenty of privacy, nearby neighbors keep you from feeling totally isolated. The expansive deck served as a gathering space for morning coffee, reading, napping, yoga & family meals. The owner provides everything you could need to feel at home along with helpful notes and instructions.
As former residents of the Mad River Valley, we chose this property for its proximity to all of our old haunts (shops, eateries, swimming holes, mountain biking & hiking trails). Everywhere you’d want to go is a scenic 10-15 minute drive through a Vermont postcard. Waitsfield Village is just minutes down the road. If you don’t mind hill climbs, you can adventure by foot or bike right out the door.
We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, cozy, clean and convenient house! The view from the deck is wonderful! The pictures from the website don’t do the place justice, really!
The communication with the owner was great. Especially about the muddy roads at this time of the season. As she told us beforehand, we were able to rent a car accordingly. The small towns around are cute and we found everything we needed. Very nice people everywhere. The theater at Waitsfield was a great family experience! A lot of beautiful all level trails. We definitely loved Vermont!!

Adorable, clean cabin conveniently located to sugarbush, mad river Glenn and (a little farther out) Stowe.
Mad river valley has a great local food scene with Waterbury, Waitsfield, and Warren all within range. Love the von trapp farmstead just down the road from the house as well.
Thank you Sheila for a great stay!!

The first thing that we noted when we got to the house was that there were dead flies all over the floor. This was especially concerning as our dogs were with us and we didn’t know if a bug killer had been used to kill the flies. The house was also lacking stair railings and had tripping hazards at thresholds which was a major concern for my father with mobility issues. The bedroom that is listed as two twins that can be converted to a king needs a very heavy dresser to be moved in order for that to occur. The location of the bedrooms and bathroom were also precarious and caused concern for falling down the stairs in the middle of the night. We paid quite a bit for a 3 night stay and are sorely disappointed with what we got for our money.

Super cozy house in a quiet spot - huge deck, comfy beds & living spaces, fast internet, well equipped kitchen. Owner is very helpful and responsive. Appreciate that it's dog-friendly, and all the games, books, DVDs, etc.

Very convenient to Waitsfield. Overall, even better than the photos- the sizable deck has updated furniture and a nice view. The large, electric awning is handy for rain and afternoon sun. Very clean inside and out. Nicely landscaped. We were there during a hot summer week and the air worked well. Gorgeous area to drive around

Wonderful Waitsfield
The town of Waitsfield lies in one of the most beautiful valleys I have ever seen! I love the farms and the mountain meadows, and the awe-inspiring peaks! The Snow's Nest is perfectly situated in the middle of it all. It is immaculate, and the 2 acres surrounding the house lend themselves easily to peaceful walks. The owner is accessible and thoughtful; all that we needed to know was explained thoroughly. Our adult children spent 2 days with us, and everyone felt that they had plenty of elbow room! A most enjoyable, quiet respite! I would absolutely return!!

Beautiful location
Really enjoyed the property, Sheila made it easy, and the location and views were terrific. Clean and comfortable. The evening on the deck as the sun were setting were greatly appreciated. The deck awning was great for the warm days. Very much enjoyed exploring Vermont and the little spots along the Mad River, including hiking at Mad River Glen.

Great Family Getaway!
From start to finish, our experience in renting this property was five star! The owner was always prompt with her replies and provided plenty of information regarding the property and area. My husband and I, our teen daughter and our 100 pound lab mix were all very comfortable here and the location can not be beat with views of Sugarbush! The layout of the house was perfect for our family and the walking paths on the property were great for the dog. You will not be disappointed if you stay here - best features were the very comfortable beds and the wonderful deck with a view, especially for sunsets. Overall, a great place to stay in The Valley!

My family had a great stay in waitsfield. The house was quiet and private, while close to amenities in town. The kitchen was well equipped, and our kid enjoyed the books and toys. We also enjoyed the huge deck and the berry picking on the paths outside. The house was very comfortable overall. I would definitely stay again! My only suggestion would be darker shades on the windows in the bunk room - it was hard to make it dark enough in there.

Bucolic setting in Mad River Valley
The house was perfect for our family and a plus that it was pet friendly. Sitting on the back deck and listening to the birds each morning was a treat by itself. Walking up and down the dirt roads gave the feeling of being back in time when life was slower and more simple. For a few short days we forgot about the pandemic and basked in the beauty of VT. A plus was that it was around the corner from the Inn at the Round Barn farm where we got married 15 years ago. House was well stocked. Beds were comfy and checking in and out was easy. We thoroughly enjoyed hiking Camels Hump and swimming in Warren Falls and at the covered bridge in Waitsfield. We will definitely go back.

Peaceful Getaway
This home was lovely! We very much enjoyed the spacious porch and trails on the property for walking the dogs. The kitchen had all the basics we needed, and everything was very friendly. Only this that could be improved is adding an AC unit to the bunk bed room. It was very difficult to sleep at night without AC in this room. All other rooms had comfortable AC.
