Hosts Laura and Owen were outstanding. The house was beautifully cleaned and ready for us. The hosts provided us much important guidance - notably, the best approach on snowy roads - about the house and related to our stay in Stowe. They were always immediately accessible.

Perfect Ski Getaway with Stunning Views

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home for a girls ski trip to Stowe! The house was spacious, comfortable, and had breathtaking mountain views. It was the perfect spot to relax after a day on the slopes. Laura, the host, was fantastic—super communicative and helpful throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Perfect ski long weekend - thanks Laura & Owen!!

Couldn't fault this amazing property and Laura and Owen.Awesome huge house, isolated and quiet in a beautiful valley - but close to Stowe mountain and the towns of Stowe and Waterbury (car required). Amazing fire place and view, lots of king beds, good heating system and everything you would need to stay for a weekend, a week (or maybe even longer!) We did not want to leave and will be booking again. Above all, Laura & Owen went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Knowing we were arriving late, they left delicious food, a fully stocked fridge and pantry and were amazing in communicating in advance and giving advice and recommendations and warnings about stormy weather, where to rent skis, best places to eat and drink, things to do when not skiing - everything! We cannot recommend this house more and I'm sure it would be equally as beautiful and amazing in the summer (if not more!)
