Great View, plumbing issues

We stayed with 8 adults for a weekend in the summer to visit sites around Montpelier. The location is beautiful and the decor is fun. There was plenty of room, however, there are only two bedrooms, one loft with bulk and a pullout couch in the basement. The pictures made it seem like there might have been 3 bedrooms, so that was disappointing. The pool was great.Check in was unclear. The instructions said the key would be on an orange bench, and instead we found two, one under a welcome mat and one in a bucket...The place has three bathrooms with 3 showers. All three toilets worked, but only one shower worked as expected. The basement shower had very little water pressure (so little we could not wash our hair). The loft bathroom cold water did not work (the knob was gone)There were limited kitchen supplies, so bring your own parchment paper, Saran wrap or aluminum foil.Fridge and oven worked great.Bottom line: great location, lots of space, but you need to be very flexible about the condition of the place/plumbing.

Unmaintained Retro

The house is definitely 70s themed and it appears very little has been done to maintain it since then. There are three showers. Two are stall showers that have rust and mold in the seams, the third is a tub shower with soap scum dried on the floor. The vent fan only works in one of the three bathrooms. The smell of the kitchen cabinets and dishes in them made me gag all weekend. House was dusty, a varmint in the ceiling on the 3rd floor was causing debri to fall on the bunkbed, the bunkbed ladder was broke. Upon arrival the kitchen cabinets had expired food and open food with ants inside the packaging. The advertised "heated pool" was not heated. The owner did not respond when I contacted him regarding the ants and the pool during our stay. The pool was relatively clean though, the firepit and propane grill were nice amenities to use. Until the house is thoroughly cleaned and small repairs made, I do not recommend this tental to others.

Soap scum in shower. Cold water faucet was broke. Could not use during our stay.

Open food and ants found in the cabinet upon our arrival.

Critter in the ceiling caused debri to fall on top bunk. We could not use this bed.

Winter trip

We had a great time here! So much snow came down and a plow came twice to make sure we could get out of the driveway. The house was clean and ready for us. Such a cool decor with plenty of space and a great loft for the kiddos! Waterbury is adorable and its an easy drive right to the heart of the town. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Time Capsule Ski Getaway

The moment we stepped into this house, it felt like crossing into another time—warm wood tones, intricate wallpaper, and a spiral staircase whispering stories of the past. More than a stay, it was an experience—a living museum where every detail added to its undeniable charm. It had plenty of room for 9 adults, with plenty of towels, blankets and pillows. By day, it was the perfect ski retreat, just 25 minutes from Stowe. By night, the endless stars made stepping outside a privilege. Inside, the home wrapped us in rustic comfort, blending history with warmth. Sure, there were quirks—missing game pieces, no firewood, small coffee mugs—but they only added to its character.For food, Thai Smile was a gem, and no trip is complete without Alchemist Brewing’s Vermont-only beers. Honestly, even if you came just for the breweries, this house would be worth it.This isn’t the Four Seasons, and it doesn’t try to be. It’s something rarer: a place with soul, a time capsule of history and warmth that lingers long after you leave. The basement cabinets were the coolest part—this house is a must-stay. Thank you for your hospitality!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property.

The location was perfectly situated between Stowe and Sugarbush. It would have been nice to have had access to the fireplace. There was a gas insert but this was not set up for fires. There was plenty of room and the vibe was very 70s in a great way.

Chalet Stay

The location is perfect and the town of Waterbury is lovely. The layout is perfect for a two family vacation, if everything is working properly and clean. Three full bathrooms and only one could be used to shower and only two of the toilets could be used. There was mold in the one fully functioning bathroom shower. We were left with one and a half rolls of toilet paper. The house was very musty and full of dust. It needs a good airing out and cleaning. Curtains falling off of rods throughout the hose.The king room bedroom had broken cranks on the windows. Pool was dirty.and

Spacious house in a great location

My family and I stayed for 2 nights to catch the total solar eclipse. Located up on a hill with mountain views, this was a perfect location! The sunsets here were also amazing. The house definitely needs some updating/maintenance but was within our price range so we were mostly satisfied. At 2500 square feet, there is plenty of room to spread out. The house has 3 floors - the basement is a walk out and has a small kitchen, full bathroom, a living area, 2 pull out couches/loveseats and a cot. The main floor has 2 bedrooms with queen size beds, a living area, dining area, kitchen and full bath. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked all of our meals during our stay. The upstairs is accessed by spiral staircase and has 1 bedroom with twin bunk beds and a full bath but the cold-water faucet was broken. One of the bathroom faucets in the basement was also leaking. We discovered a secret room behind a bookcase upstairs so that was fun! The garage housed the ping pong table and foosball and there is a firepit in the back behind the pool. We visited in April so the pool wasn't open yet but the gate to the pool area was not working and off its hinges. After finding some empty beer cans around, we wondered if the last guests who stayed here did not care for the property like they should have. Overall, we had a great time and also appreciated all the outdoor furniture so we could hang out and enjoy the beautiful weather and spectacular eclipse!
