Overall, everything was good - clean, comfy for myself and two sons. We were only there 11 hours. Nice coffee set up for the morning and the mini-fridge was perfect. Only down side to the place was the heating baseboards were pretty loud when the heat came on during the night - pretty minor thing.
This property was awesome! It was a short drive into town and close to where we were skiing for the weekend. The property was very clean, very well taken care of and comfortable. Everything you would need. The property manager was very quick to reply and friendly. The experience was great and hope to be back in the future.
This spot was lovely for me and my two sons to stay during a quick ski getaway. The hosts were attentive and friendly and even cleaned off our car after a snowfall! The apartment is clean and cozy. Thank you!
We skied Sugarbush and Stowe for 4 days and it was an awesome stay. The apartment was VERY clean, conveniently located in a quiet area, and with great hospitality. The communication with Greg (the host) was great and made the stay feel like home. They don’t have a kitchen sink, so you’ll have wash your dishes in the bathroom, but they have a microwave, toaster oven, and fridge, so eating breakfast at home before hitting the slopes was not a problem. They thought of absolutely everything, had lovely decorations, and having separated entrance door was nice.
We spent a January weekend at this sweet little apartment with our 8 and 10 year old sons. It was perfectly located for us to hit both Sugarbush and Bolton Valley ski areas in about 25 minutes each. The apartment is clean and cozy, well stocked with basic amenities, and was a perfect place for our family to crash after a great day on the slopes. The owner, Greg, was very responsive both before and during our stay. We didn’t have any issues, and definitely plan to book again!
We spent a long weekend skiing in Sugarbush while taking my brother to UVM. This is a lovely little apartment in the basement of the house. We enjoyed many thoughtful touches such as a lavender sachet with the sheets. Even though there's not a kitchen, there's a microwave, fridge, and the hosts provide dishes. And the rain shower felt amazing after a long day of skiing! The king bed was very comfortable; however, the pull out couch is quite small and not so comfortable. Probably best suited for a child. The house is an easy 20 minute drive from the mountain, and just about 10 minutes from Waterbury which has many fun local sites.
