We (2 adults, 2 kids) had such a wonderful visit! We especially loved hanging out in the river, eating and playing games on the deck, and reading in the hammock. The house was comfortable and well-equipped - perfect for our family getaway. We hope to return soon!

Nice spot on Mad River

Nice, clean, cozy property with access to the Mad River (although getting down there might be hard for people with mobility issues). Great back porch for reading/relaxing outdoors. Kids loved the river and the kids' nook in the stairs. Very close to village of Warren, Lincoln Gap, Warren Falls, Flatbread, Sugarbush, etc. Would stay again.

We had a delightfully peaceful stay in this cozy hillside house. Easy access to ski Mountains and town. Plenty of outside space to relax on deck and watch dog wonder up the hillside and down to river. Thank you for this COVID safe getaway to ski with family.

Norwich Parent’s Weekend

This was a wonderful cabin for our family to stay in while visiting our son for Parent’s Weekend at Norwich University. The home is clean and cozy with a well stocked kitchen. There are 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor and 1 bedroom in the basement. There is one full bathroom on the main floor. We enjoyed the beautiful foliage, walks down to the Mad River, and grilling steaks on the deck. It was a perfect weekend! We hope to be back next year!

Gem in the Mad River Valley

Bryan's place was absolutely beautiful! What a special mountain hideaway. We stayed for almost a week with our two young kids and dog and everyone was very comfortable. The weather was rainy and cool for August - and we were so glad we had booked Bryan's place since we spent more time in the house than anticipated. The grounds were immaculate. We walked down to the river a few times (it's steep, but our dog and 5 year old had no problem), roasted marshmallows and did puzzles on the deck. The inside was super clean and welcoming. This may have been the best stocked rental we ever stayed at! We did a lot of cooking and appreciated the wide assortment of pots and pans, we did a few loads of laundry, and just enjoyed spending time together as a family in cozy house. The location was perfect for us, very private but within minutes of many MRV attractions.

Fall foliage visit

We had a lovely stay. The accommodations are great, and the kitchen is very well equipped, probably the best weve encountered over many VRBO rentals. Bryan was very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this rental.

Thank you Bryan for sharing your property! We very much enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described - we enjoyed using the well stocked kitchen for family dinners and waking up surrounded by the amazing Fall colors. The short hike down to the river was a great plus too! Thank you and hope to return!

Summer visit

A nice quiet and private property with fire pit, hammock, deck, grill and short walk down to a swimming hole. On hot days swimming hole can be busy since it's accessible from a park on the other side. I would just recommend going later in the day to avoid the crowds. Sugarbush glider rides are a short drive away, a very cool experience. Also close to the small village of Warren, the base area of Sugarbush and Waitsfield, all fun spots to visit. House was perfect for us in that there was only 3, but larger families may find it tight due to only one bathroom. And downstairs bedroom is nice but it is in the basement, and the escape hatch for emergencies probably should have some explanation. Overall we enjoyed the property and had a great week.

Wonderful Remote Enjoyment

Bryan's home was as advertised: Beautifully situated in a large private wooded area, which afforded us, and our dog, ample exploring opportunity. Mad River provided good swimming as well! The house provided every comfort, with a full sized deck and grill, a well-equipped kitchen, and easy open layout inside. Enjoyed the blueberries growing in the side yard as an easy-to-pick breakfast! While remote, we were never far from good restaurants and attractions. Great time!

Can’t ask for more

Bryan - thank you so much for welcoming our family to your property. Nothing could have been better - from the location (incredible privacy with our own path and “spot” on the river but across from a park so lots of opportunities for the kids to play and make friends, minutes to both smaller kid friendly as well as more challenging hikes, and two awesome bustling towns with unique and independent eating and grocery spots), to the super clean but cozy and welcoming house designed with both convenience and warmth in mind, and finally Bryan’s experience, effort, and kindness as a host. Vacationing with young kids can have challenges, but those were forgotten on this trip and we were sad to have to come home. We’re already dreaming of next summer (or maybe fall, winter, and spring trips first!). Thank you again.
