About this property

Sugarbush Mt Ellen Slope-side Condo with fireplace, pool, hot tub, sauna

Fiddlehead Condominium is nestled alongside the slopes of Mount Ellen, the North mountain of Sugarbush Ski Area. The Fiddlehead grounds include tennis court, swimming pool, fire pit, and trails for hiking and snowshoeing, as well as a path to Mt Ellen base lodge.

This fully renovated 2 bedroom, 1 full and 1 3/4 bathrooms, 2nd floor (ground level) condo accommodates 4 adults in beds comfortably (ideal for 2 couples or a family of 4).

Comes fully outfitted with a 55" TV in the living room, BluRay/DVD player with a large collection of movies, and wireless internet connection. The master bath has a modern rainwater shower, and both bathrooms have additional heating. The kitchen is fully equipped including dishwasher, and unit includes a clothes dryer and washing machine (washer temperamental but functional, replacement on backorder).

The bedrooms have a king bed in the master, a queen bed in the guest room, and a twin size inflatable that can be set up in either the master bedroom or in the living room. All 3 rooms feature glass sliders onto private balconies. The beds include all linens needed for a comfortable stay.

GAME ROOM, HOT TUB and SAUNA. The common area game/recreation room is equipped with a shuffle board table, ping pong table and foosball table. A 10 person indoor hot tub is the perfect remedy to a day of skiing, riding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, or sledding in the winter. The outdoor POOL and grilling area are great for unwinding after hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, golfing, sight seeing, shopping or any other adventure in the summer. All year round, Fiddlehead is an ideal retreat.

NOTE: no dogs allowed per the association rules. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

SUMMERS can be just as exciting in the Mad River Valley as the winter months! Plan your summer 2023 around events such as:
Mad Marathon Jul 9
Mountain Music Festival / 100 on 100 road race / Plein Air Painting Festival Aug 11-12
Green Mountain Stage Race Sept 1-4

An (almost) great place

This was one of the most well-furnished and well-appointed places we've stayed -- it had ALMOST all the comforts of home. It had ALMOST everything you could need in the kitchen, bath, and living areas. The location was nice and the building, while not new, was convenient and easily accessible (the unpaved parking area was muddy on our spring weekend, though). So why not five stars? It's the "almost": The water is NOT POTABLE (not safe to drink/cook with), and we were not informed of this prior to our stay. There was no warning posted anywhere; we only found out when we saw the information on PAGE 10 of the 10-page info packet -- on the 3rd night of our 3-night stay (we always read before check-out). This is a great place, as long as you BRING BOTTLED WATER!

Sugarbush Spring Ski Trip

The property was extremely well appointed with every type of kitchen item you could want. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of towels and property was clean.We stayed at the property for easy access to Mt Ellen/Sugarbush. We did not expect ski in / ski out in the Spring mud season. In fact, we planned on the 7 -10 min drive to Sugarbush base. Even so the walk to reach the snow during regular season is a bit more than advertised.Overall a great property.

Comfy 2 Bdrm Condo at Sugarbush Ski Mountain

So glad we decided to stay here. This condo is exceptionally clean and well cared for. The beds and linens are top notch. And so are all the appliances. The owners were very helpful when we had questions. And the bonus is the huge hot tub in the common area. Definitely recommend renting this place.

Great spot to take in rural Vermont and the fall leaves

Beautiful area of Vermont to take in the spectacular fall foliage and see many areas of rural Vermont. Though it's a bit off the beaten path, it was fairly centrally located to really explore the small towns in the area and had amazing views of the changing leaves. It was nice and quiet in the condo since it was off season for skiing and a perfect respite from the day's site seeing. Very comfortable and well appointed. Great place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The unit was great for our group of 4 - we were able to cook breakfast, watch movies, and enjoy the recreation area before and after skiing. The path to the Mt Ellen lift was great. Highly recommend!!

Great condo for skiers alike.

The location is amazing for those looking to take advantage of Sugarbush for hiking or skiing depending on the season. A great open space to unwind after a day on the slopes with common area access to a sauna, hot tub and game room. The place is well unkept and beautifully furnished. Would certainly stay here again!

Great place-a few hiccups

Place is very nice and well equipped with everything you may need. Beds very comfortable and each room had its own thermostat. While slope “side”, it’s difficult to actually get to the base of Mt Ellen. We chose to drive after one of us tried the trail and hiking up at the end of day would not be fun. Unfortunately the main bedroom toilet was broken by prior renter but when I informed the owners they were VERY quick to respond and a new toilet was installed by their contractor and plumber by 10:30 the next morning. We have never had so quick a response to an unexpected issue. We really appreciated their prompt attention. The hot tub in the building was not working the second night (not the owners fault). Would not hesitate to stay here again as the price and lodging were great - just know that driving to the slopes is probably needed.

Ski Weekend Getaway

We had an amazing stay at this cozy Sugarbush getaway! The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped, making it so easy to cook meals after long days on the slopes. The rooms were super comfortable and felt like a home away from home. It truly had everything we needed for a perfect ski weekend. The short jaunt through the woods to Mount Ellen was great. We’d absolutely stay here again!

No salt or sand to prevent slipper conditions

We were not impressed and disappointed. The hot tube was closed and looked terribly run down. The whole area was run down.

Holiday visit

The home was very peaceful and quiet during our stay up until the last day. Unfortunately a family with 3 dogs stayed below us and were quite noisy. However, this space was very clean and organized. Hosts were very responsive even while being 13hrs ahead. Kitchen had all the accessories needed to cook meals. Enjoyed our time over the holidays.Thank You for the hospitality and allowing us to stay at your home.

Loved it!

We had a great stay at the condo. It was very comfortable and clean and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked. The location was also a huge plus. Remote feeling but only 7-8 minutes from the grocery, etc. Loved the little walk/ski/pond skim to the lifts :-)

Condo at Mt Ellen

Property was enjoyable but would have liked to know and have some documentation on the induction stove. Also it was a bit more than a minute walk to the lift. A few trail maps in the unit would also be helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Christopher and Augusta

Host profile image
Christopher and Augusta are New Englanders through and through, and both love what the outdoors has to offer in every season.

Why they chose this property

Living in Boston (and now Hong Kong and Lisbon), Fiddlehead is Christopher and Augusta's escape from city life. The Mad River Valley has everything: the mountain for skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, mountain biking; the river for swimming and tubing; attractions like golfing, vineyard and microbrewery/distillery tours, the Ben & Jerry's factory; and the town for restaurants, farmer's market, shopping, and a taste of Vermont life.

What makes this property unique

Fiddlehead itself is perfectly located for secluded wilderness and proximity to the ski lift, while offering on-site amenities for all seasons.
