This open and airy custom Cape is nestled at the base of Sugarbush Mt Ellen in a private neighborhood only a few miles from Mad River and Lincoln Peak. Big picture windows provide lots of natural light and views, and the open floor plan has 3 separate gathering areas to accommodate your whole family.

It’s easy to unload from the level driveway into the large mudroom with plenty of space for all your gear. The mudroom opens into a well-stocked gourmet kitchen outfitted with everything you need to prepare meals and eat in.

The large kitchen area includes a butcher block island and a breakfast table with beautiful mountain views. There is a comfy seating space for lounging over coffee or socializing during dinner prep. The house feels clean and fresh with shiny wood floors throughout the first floor.

In the colder weather, curl up in the comfortable living room in front of the wood-burning fireplace and watch a movie on the 65” TV. Equipped with WiFi, cable and Apple TV. The dining area is open to the living room. The buffet has all the stemware you need and the table seats 10.

In the warmer weather, enjoy serene mountain views from the huge wrap around deck while you relax on an Adirondack chair waiting for your food to come off the grill. Seats 10 for outside dining.

A stylish half-bath rounds out the first floor.

We came back to celebrate another family milestone and had a wonderful time. Found two great hikes (Vista in Warren and Chase in Waitsfield right near the house.) had a nice fire in the backyard and the deck was perfect for outdoor dinner and games. Every bed is super comfortable and the kitchen is awesome for big meals.

Our family loves coming to this beautiful home nestled above the Mad River Valley. The views are amazing! The house is so comfortable, there’s plenty of room for gathering and hanging out, cozying up to the fire. The bedrooms are wonderfully decorated with en suite baths, the kitchen is very well appointed with great cookware and awesome island. Fabulous space in the basement rooms and large mud room. Fantastic deck and fire pit. Owners are super!

Staying at this Sugarbush Mt Ellen house is like staying at the home of a dear friend. The house is situated with a beautiful view and a long and wide balcony, a comfortable interior, and everything a lived-in house would have. This is a family's home, not a house "decorated" to rent out. The house is a big part of the reason we return to the Mad River Valley. It's well located for shopping and activities, and very comfortable in the evenings and rainy days during which we choose to stay in. My favorite time is early morning, watching the sun rise, with the colors changing, and a cup of tea in my hands.

This was our second year staying at this wonderful Mad River Valley home. Because of our stay last year, we knew the house well enough to invite our prospective in-laws and to host some dear friends for dinner on several occasions. Everyone, with no exceptions, including our college aged granddaughters, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the home. I use the word "home" quite intentionally. In our experience, most short term rentals are just that, not actually anyone's home. This house absolutely is. The furnishings are lovely and comfortable. There is attractive wall art, including vintage posters about the area. There are games and puzzles of all sorts. And my personal favorite - a kitchen fully stocked with high quality cookware and as many hers and spices as one could ask for. Cathy and Gary are extremely accommodating and very helpful. They're also easy to reach and respond to queries quickly, As soon as I finish this review, I'm booking for next summer!

This home was all and more than we expected and it made our time together as a family to celebrate our son’s college graduation a time we will all remember forever! Hoping to come back in the winter months as Sugarbush is one of our favorite places to ski!
