Good to know

Transport to our quintessential Vermont home tucked on the hillside of a quiet dirt road. Enjoy easy drives to neighboring towns like Stowe, Waterbury, and Waitsfield allowing you to be minutes away from your outdoor adventure or meal. Our 1800's cottage was fully renovated to fit the needs of modern comfort while maintaining its vintage charm. The open floor plan on the first floor offers an abundance of light and brings the tranquility of the outdoors in. Enter through the side of the home into a sitting area with a TV. Ditch your boots and coats and head into the living space which opens into the kitchen and dining room, making conversation easy regardless of the room you're in. A centrally placed gas stove spreads warmth and cozy vibes for all to enjoy. The first floor bathroom boasts an open air shower with views of the pines or unwind in the claw foot tub. The stairs to the second floor are steeper (and maybe a little creakier) than usual and take you to the landing which all bedrooms are accessed from. The rustic floorboards lead you to either a Queen room (x2) or the Master with a King bed and walk in closet. There is a brand new full bathroom with standing shower. The backyard offers a stone patio to enjoy summer meals under the stars. There is a 'stream' that runs through the property which adds peaceful background noise in addition to the many other sounds of nature you'll find here. The home backs up to 100's of acres of protected land further supporting the remote feel of the cottage. During snow/mud season in Vermont we recommend AWD or 4WD.

I rate most places 5 stars, but this is the first home that I genuinely felt was worth the rating. Wow, wow. This house looks exactly like the photos and had plenty of old charm. We loved the fireplace and moved the TV near it so we could enjoy both. It was perfect for snowy nights! A couple warnings: the driveway up is steep! Make sure you have 4WD in snow or rain. And the staircase inside is also older and steep—anyone with mobility issues will probably want another Airbnb. For us, though, it was perfect! Thank you for hosting, Tom! The beds were comfortable and we genuinely felt so at-home the whole time. Don’t pass this place by!

We really enjoyed our stay with friends at this sweet mountain cottage! It was cozy and comfortable and so close to great restaurants and shops in Waterbury... and easy drive to other nice Vermont towns.

Tom’s place was perfect for our weekend in the VT mountains. The place was well stocked and the location was beautiful. Tom even had a pack-n-play available for our daughter. Overall we would love to stay here again!
