About this property

Romantic Cabin: Pet Friendly, Close to Town, Wood stove, 1 Bdrm + Loft

Goldilocks cabin is a cozy retreat for a romantic getaway, and perfect for small families as well. The cabin is located on Stowe Hollow Road, a residential area of widely spaced lots, just 1 mile from Stowe village, eight miles to Mt. Mansfield and skiing, and just a few miles to the Pinnacle, one of the most spectacular hikes in Vermont. So, if you are looking for a secluded cabin in the woods, Goldilocks may not be your best choice, but if you want a charming and unique, conveniently located cabin, which is easily accessible in all weather conditions, Goldilocks is for you.

Goldilocks is well appointed with Black Forest and French antiques, and antler chandeliers--the perfect combination of rustic and luxury. The piping hot wood stove and the chiming cuckoo clock make this cabin a cozy retreat after a day of hiking or skiing. The large master bedroom has an antique four poster bed, complete with a sumptuous mattress, and a alcove with a desk. The sleeping loft (a favorite of older children) is accessed by a ladder and has a full size bed. There is a sleeper sofa in the living room, as well. The cabin has two decks a gas barbecue, and a fire pit. Goldilocks is pet-friendly. Well behaved, approved pets are always welcome.

Guests often mention our attention to detail as one of the many reasons this cabin exceeded their expectations. Goldilocks cabin is just right.

Amenities: Wifi, well appointed kitchen with dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker and a gas stove. Dining area seats 6. Laundry room with washer and dryer. Wood stove. Television. CD player, VCR. Two decks, barbecue,and mud room for ski storage. Approved pets OK. Will consider 2 night stays mid-week. Please inquire.

Activities: Minutes from skiing, miles of snow-shoeing, and cross country skiing, biking, hiking, fishing. Close to town and shopping. Six restaurants within a two mile drive. Great antiquing around Stowe, Farmer's market. Burlington is a 35 mile drive.

Area: One mile from Stowe village. On 4 acres. Close to shopping, restaurants, hiking, skiing. In Stowe Hollow. A residential neighborhood of widely spaced lots.

Magical Cottage
The Goldilocks Cottage is more than just right--this cozy and beautifully decorated cabin gave us the getaway we'd been hoping for. Thoughtfully designed, the cottage provided a warm, inviting place to hang out between our winter adventures.

Charming cabin, bedroom needs a little TLC
This rental was as described - a charming log cabin with scarred wood floors, a woodburning stove and interesting knick knacks. Kitchen was well stocked and there was a grill on the deck for outdoor cooking. Our only complaint was the master bedroom, which smelled musty and needs a deep clean. Stained pillows need to be replaced and all bedding refreshed.

Snowbound
The driveway was not cleared, caused my truck to slide and have to be towed by AAA one day, the next day, after snowing at night, slid again and had to dig out of the opposite snow bank. No snow shovel at location. Driveway not cleared and had a terrible crown, suggest scraping down the crown. Beautiful cabin not so great snow removal.

Charming Warm Country Cabin
We found the perfect little home away from home location spot - charming cabin a short drive to town where our whole family (my husband, daughter, and our dog) could relax after a day of skiing and sight-seeing. Stowe is a picture postcard around every corner and that includes this sweet cabin. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove, it added such a nice touch to the cold winter evenings. Impressed with all the little touches - would indeed return!

Lovely Thanksgiving Stay
We had a lovely stay at the goldilocks cabin. It was exactly as described and the pictures were accurate. The location is close to everything in Stowe and Waterbury. Since we love cooking, we were pleased to find the kitchen is well-provided with kitchen utensils and pots, exactly as seen in the pictures.The cabin is very cozy and the decoration is amazing, with many goldilocks theme details. The wood-fired stove had already been loaded with firewood, which was a pleasant surprise, and it was well-provided with extra kindling in a nearby basket. We loved how cozy it was to stay near it and even made some hot chocolate on it.If we had to note something it would be that both TVs (the one in the living room and the bedroom) are quite small, and that the living room TV is positioned in a way that makes it quite inconvenient to use. So if you plan on watching movies in the cabin, keep that in mind.That said we had a great stay and definitely recommend the cabin!

Needs Work...
The entire place needs a thorough cleaning. If your design theme is cabin chic and full of knickknacks, you have to make sure everything is dusted and washed periodically. The drapery and upholstery definitely needs a heavy cleaning. We discovered dried bloodstains on one of the bedsheets. There was a heavy musty smell, the only way to move air around was using the window units. But when we turned them on they greeted us with dust. Turns out their filters were extremely dirty. The bedroom is very dark and the wallpaper and dim lamps don't help. The property also needs some structural work as the floor is unstable and sinks in several places. I think the property is typical of this area nowadays, being managed remotely via a housekeeping service that doesn't do a job they might if the owner checked regularly, and it shows.

Everything we needed & more.
Perfect for us & Sheba (our puppy). The cabin had everything we needed, coffee maker & grinder, stove, microwave, etc. The TV was great to get the local & national stations. Our host thought of everything from the utensils, pots & pans, dishware, spices, & other necessities to the towels, bathroom supplies, washer & dryer, storage space & outdoor amenities (grill, deck chairs, firepit...) The cabin was a perfect size for all of us, comfy chairs & sofa, A/C (we didn't need the heat) bed was OK. The road was a bit noisy but inside we couldn't hear anything. We come up almost every year & we will make this place our go-to rental. It was that good.

Perfect Home
This was a perfect home for a quick weekend getaway for some skiing at Stowe and Jay Peak. Great location, you can walk into downtown Stowe if you want. Close to lots of shops and restaurants. About 20 minutes to Stowe, maybe less. The home had everything you need if you want to cook and stay in. We will certainly be coming back again. Thank you very much!

Great Stay in a Cozy Cabin
What a fantastic stay. The Cabin was so cute and cozy, and in such a convenient location. It was a mile from Main St. Stowe. Instead of Stowe Mt, we skied Bolton Valley, which was a 20 minute drive. The wood burning stove was just right on cold nights. Kitchen well appointed. Bed super comfy. Owner was very responsive. We will stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
I am an interior designer who realized I could use my particular talents to create the type of vacation rental that I myself am always looking for. In this commoditized world of professionally managed properties it has become difficult to find the personalized and the unique. Goldilocks Cabin is the antidote to this predictability.

I am married to a tug boat captain, and we live on Nantucket island with our cat, Charlie, and three chickens.

Why they chose this property

Goldilocks Cabin was originally the ski cabin of the principal designer at the interior design firm where I was then employed. Together we had great fun decorating the cabin on buying trips to New York, the Paris Flea Market, and at our favorite Vermont antique stores. When my boss decided to buy a bigger house, I jumped at the chance to make Goldilocks Cabin my own.
