Expansive mountainside retreat, close to Stowe, Smuggler's Notch, Jay

*****NEW FOR THE SEASON: Newly furnished and equipped outdoor patio with gas grill and fire pit. See pictures for details.

This 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is truly an entertainer’s dream. The chef’s kitchen features granite countertops, a double refrigerator and opens up to a full granite bar and game room. The master bedroom upstairs features a walk-in closet and a full en-suite bathroom with shower and soaking tub. There is a second bedroom and full bath upstairs. The finished walkout basement, complete with two additional bedrooms, bathroom, large laundry room, wine cellar and designated home theater provides additional space to spread out. The home is full of high-end finishes, custom stone, marble and tile and comes fully stocked with all cookware, glassware, utensils and small appliances. It is perfect for both a quick getaway, as well as a long-term stay.

This house is meant for large family gatherings as well as for someone looking for complete privacy. The 7 acre lot borders the Mount Mansfield State Forest, providing direct access to thousands of acres of wilderness, Vermont's Long Trail, exceptional views and hiking/snow shoeing opportunities.

While deceivingly remote, the property is a short drive to a number of local destinations. World-class skiing is available at Stowe Resort (25 minutes), Smugglers Notch (30 minutes) and Jay Peak (50 minutes), along with the Trapp Family Lodge (20 minutes) cross-country network and numerous nearby VAST access points. Picturesque hiking trails and waterfalls, incredible fishing, and gorgeous golf courses are also nearby.

Foodie? You’ll be just minutes from downtown Morrisville or Stowe’s vibrant restaurant scene, as well as Rock Art Brewery, Stowe Cider and Smugglers’ Notch Distillery.

Finally, we should note that the house has a whole-house generator to keep the lights on during winter storms. The house can theoretically remain off-grid for about a week, though the limits of the generator have not been pushed - power outages are typically resolved in 24 hours or less.

Remote and Epic House
My friends and I were looking for a large home that was close to Smuggler's Notch and Stowe for disc golf and mountain biking and we found it here. Not only is it secluded with plenty of space outdoors for activities, but also has tons to do inside if the weather was bad which it rained each night. The pool table was so much fun ("Stumpy" is the name of the small pool cue BTW), and the theater room with a collection of over 100 movies was awesome. The beds and baths were also well appointed, and the nicest of any rental property I've stayed in. Close to Smuggs, Stowe, Van Trapp and Alchemist breweries, and the Ben and Jerry's factory. We will definitely utilize this spot again the next time we come up to Vermont regardless of the time of year (although I question getting out in heavy snow due to location).

Great stay
House was clean and neat. Everything was exactly as described. It is definitely remote if that is what you’re looking for. We had an excellent stay.

Wonderful
My family and I loved the house. My son especially loved the theater room and all the movies to chose from. My mom and I loved the showers and my son loved the master tub. We brought our dogs and they were so happy with all the space to run wild. Talking with with owners was easy and they responded very quickly. All the places we ate were awesome. My only regret was we never made it to tour the Ben and Jerry’s building. Next time! Hopefully. I would love to spend another week at this beautiful house. Thank you for letting us this time.

Relaxing Vacation
We could not have been more happy with our stay in this home. Anton was very responsive and check in was simple. The home is extremely spacious and in great condition. It is the perfect place for anyone looking to feel off the grid, but also have options should you feel like getting out. We used the house as a hole base for hiking and brewery trips around the area. We loved coming back to the house each day and feeling the peace and isolation thst the property provides. It was also our first trip with our dog and he seemed to be as relaxed as his parents throughout the trip. We would recommend this home and would book again.

Unassuming Gem
I almost do not want to write this review on fear it will encourage others to rent and will make it more difficult for my family to come back! This property was fabulous. The house is nicely tucked away off the road with a large yard. Which we loved because we always travel with our dog. The house itself actually looks somewhat small from the outside, but don't let it fool you. Once inside it is a large space for all the people and activities you may have planned for your trip. The kitchen was well appointed considering it's a rental and so were the bathrooms, with plenty of towels for everyone. We enjoyed the pool room and the theater. The beds were very comfortable and the Jacuzzi tub was exactly what the doctor ordered after a day on the slopes. This was a perfect retreat for me and my family! Thank you for sharing such a cool property with us.

Great location, AWFUL smell
The bummer of this review is that if the downstairs didn’t smell of the septic tank and the second bathroom didn’t leak above the commode, all would have been grand. Alas the stink of the septic system ruled out the use of one of the downstairs bedrooms. The owner mentioned that this had happened in the past and if I had brought it up there is a fix, however there is something said for being made aware of the potential issue. Suffering through this is not recommended.

Family ski trip
The house was perfect for our family of 6 for a ski trip to Stowe. The drive to and from the resort to go skiing during the day was easy. And we had a comfortable and relaxing time in the house when we returned, watching a movie, playing pool, reading and just hanging out. There was plenty of room for all of us and the house had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
