Perfect for families

This place was perfect for a couple of families to go skiing together. Close to the mountain, adequate sleeping and the kitchen is well stocked. The game room downstairs was good for the kids and there is plenty of parking.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was spacious, clean and private. We loved watching the sunrise each morning and how close it was to Wilmington. We hope to go back with a bigger group next time!

Glenns Vermont Home

This property is just as advertised. It is beautiful and in a great location, a little hill in the driveway, but nothing to be worried about. The house is very spacious and welcoming lots to do inside and out of the house. Several ski places close by. We were totally impressed with our stay, and especially the help of the property owner Glenn, we will definitely be staying again. We came with eight people in two vehicles, five adults and three kids.

Perfect spot for our annual get-together

We've been getting together once a year for almost 40 years and since we traded in our tents and canoes for a house and golf clubs, this is the best place we've stayed. The location is great - quiet and secluded - beautiful area in Vermont, close to a quaint town (Wilmington), golf courses and the reservoir for picnicking and floating. Has all the amenities we need and a large fire pit area for nighttime conversation and music. Enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Perfect spot for us. Secluded but near town, the reservoir, golf and other VT attractions. House was great; clean, had everything we needed, and was roomy enough for the ten of us. Owner was easy to deal with and responsive to any questions. Would definitely rent here again.

Fun NYE Weekend

Other than linens (you need to bring your own), house was extremely well stocked. Plenty of comfy couches and chairs to relax in. The basement area has a cool set up with ping pong and shuffleboard tables. Would absolutely love to go back and will recommend to friends next time they are looking for a spot close to Mount Snow.

Great weekend in a beautiful home

The pictures on Vrbo do not do this house justice. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in the front door. It had a large family room, kitchen attached with plenty of room for all our guests to relax and enjoy ourselves. The basement/ game room kept us and our kids busy all night with a beautiful shuffleboard and ping pong table. The house was clean and well kept. The views from the rear deck are amazing. Can’t wait to come back next time we ski southern Vermont.

Awesome winter getaway!

Our family of four adults and three kids had a terrific stay for New Years at Glenn's home! The house was bright, clean, and comfortable. We loved playing ping pong in the basement and hanging out on the comfortable couches (byo blankets for maximum coziness!). It was a great location so we could zip over to Mount Snow to hit the slopes, go for a hike at Haystack, and shop and grab coffees in Wilmington. The kitchen was perfect for cooking, hanging, and playing games and the upstairs loft was a comfy spot to watch the sunrise and do morning yoga. Thanks Glenn for the gem! Happy 2023!
