The Mad River Valley is one of the nicest places to be in the whole country, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better place to stay in Waitsfield than right here. It's exactly as the listing says, and our stay couldn't have been any easier or more convenient. 10/10 would stay again.

Great place. Beautiful views of the mountain. We loved the pool table. Kitchen is fully-equipped. Cozy bedrooms. Stairs to loft are very narrow and steep. Also be mindful there is dirt road to travel on to get to the house. We would stay here again.

Hidden Gem

What a fabulous place for our ski get away. The carriage house was perfect for my husband, dogs and I. Was nice to be in a neighborhood but still close to Sugarbush, comfortable to relax in after a day on the slopes. Jennifer was so kind and helpful, wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again, thank you Jennifer!!
