Large, Comfortable, Retro 1970s Hillside Chalet

This custom built home is a step back in time, but has modern amenities like wifi, new 4k flat screens, beds and appliances. You will spend some time looking around & have lots of talking points! This home is classic 1972. The location is located about 1.5 miles from downtown Waterbury and a mile or so from the interstate. Waterbury is the crossroad between Sugarbush, Stowe, Mad River and Bolton Ski areas. Smugglers Notch ski area or Burlington is only 30 minutes away. Waterbury is a fun town with brew pubs and fine dining. There is high speed internet, a Bluetooth stereo system and Sirius XM Radio . This home is fully stocked with dishes in both kitchens. There is a Keurig coffee machine with coffee. There's an iron and ironing board. There's a brand new gas grill. We are looking at having the in-ground heated pool open for June. We are installing a pool table with pingpong top in the garage for bookings after April.

Amazing view, cozy home with all you could need!
We stayed with our family of four and in-laws. Everything was exactly as listed. We were close to everything: downtown Waterbury, Stowe and Burlington. The 70s vibe was groovy and tons of books to explore! Hope to stay again!

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!

Wonderful winter weekend in Vermont!
Fantastic views! A perfect spot for our family- 5 adults who were in the area for a wedding in Stowe. The location was perfect and we enjoyed the eclectic 70’s vibe. Very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed.

Exactly as advertised
As advertised, a retro ski chalet from the 1970s. House has lots of room and all the basic amenities we needed for a successful long weekend stay. Great view from the front deck and the book collection is amazing.

House needs a lot of work and better cooking skillets. The outdoor pool area was fantastic and we loved the long dining table!
