Warm, Cheery and Bright Post and Beam w/ hot tub! Stunning Ski Mountain Views!

This hillside post and beam home has it all for your quintessential Vermont escape. The 2,400 square foot house offers a bright, airy, open floor plan ideal for family ski vacations or all-season getaways. The house, which is a perfect getaway for up to three families, is surrounded by stunning mountain views. It is located just a 10-to-15-minute drive to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen, making this an ideal location for skiers, hikers, bikers, or anyone who loves to sit by a cozy fire.
Enjoy any of the three ski resorts, nordic ski centers, or access an extensive network of multi-use bike trails coveted by locals.

There is an adjacent in-law studio on the property that is available as an additional (6th) bedroom during your rental.
Parking is limited to no more than 4 vehicles, especially during the winter months due to snow and plowing.

The house is very remote-work friendly, with fast fiber internet connection, multiple workspaces, and a backup generator to ensure no sustained loss of power.

The home is located within a mile of the village center, close to an organic farm where you can pick your own blueberries and get incredible local delicacies. The property is close to it all, with space to stretch out.

This listing is professionally managed by Downstream Enterprises, in the Mad River Valley, and has 3D tours available.

The hot tub is drained for the summer (June through October 15th), but may be filled with prior arrangement for a $200 service fee. PLEASE CONTACT US ahead of your stay if you would like to use the hot tub during these months.

December Family Weekend
House is beautiful! View is sublime! Beds are comfy! Even in December we used the back deck and did some stargazing. We had a great time. Would definitely recommend to friends. Kitchen had 2 things that were troublesome; we rented as a party of 12 and yet there were not enough dishes and flatware to eat from. Spent a lot of time having to wash dishes. Also there was no clean sponge or washcloth to wash dishes with.

Wedding in Vermont
We traveled to Vermont to attend a wedding at Lareau Inn. House is 1 mile from the venue. Love the wide open floor plan on the main level and the tall windows with amazing views of Sugarbush Ski area. Kitchen was well set up and then some. We did not have to worry about paper products or cleaning supplies or even coffee filters for that matter. The outside roll down awnings are great in the afternoon when the sun is directly on the house. Very private and extremely quiet for sleeping on comfy beds. If we ever come back to Waitsfield we will definitely look to stay here. The bonus is there is an extra bedroom above the detached garage with a full bath and a kitchenette. Our friends from Maine, who also came to the wedding, used that room. It was perfect! Thank you Great house!
