Great family house

Perfect location and very comfortable living space. Rooms are nice sized with a sink in every room. Perhaps not ideal for very young children but overall a perfect large family spot.

Great spot for Mad River Valley fun!

We had a fun few days in this great spot! Awesome location near everything in Waitsfield. Minutes from the mountains, swimming holes, shops and restaurants (and Lawson’s finest liquids). Very private and peaceful location up a hill with two nice decks that feel like a tree house. We’ll definitely come back!

Great place

Renting was very easy. Questions were answered very quickly when asked before booking. Kitchen is stocked very well. Do wish there were screens on the windows so they could of been open more to enjoy the weather without the concern of bugs coming in. Great location! Really enjoyed staying.

Great house for family gathering

The downside: you bring your own sheets and towels. The upside: pretty much everything else. 3 bunk beds with 3, 3 and 4 beds plus a room with queen sized bed for the people in charge gives great flexibility for hosting people; the dining room table seats 12 and there are comfortable couches and a nice ski decor. We went in the summer; can't comment on how easy the driveway would be in the winter.

Loved it!

This is the second time that we have stayed in Evelyn’s cabin. We loved it so much the first time, we booked again. This last visit was for our son’s graduation from Norwich University; therefore, I don’t know when the next time we’ll return to Vermont. If and when we do come back for a visit, I’ll be contacting Evelyn again. Thank you, Evelyn! You’ve made the VRBO experience extremely smooth and easy.

Wonderful accommodation!

I took a group of students to this place for a theater retreat. The owner was incredibly accommodating, and the property was wonderful, both in general and for our special purposes. The house is in impeccable condition, and you can tell that the priorities in recent renovations were quality and aesthetic concerns; it was super clean when we arrived, is well appointed (the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for 12 people), the wood stove was both very efficient and cozy, and the house's floor plan is very convenient, allowing for both social togetherness and privacy when needed. I slept in a very cute loft-like upstairs bed "cove", with the stars right above my head when I fell asleep, most other bedrooms feature four bunk beds that are perfectly comfortable when you are not looking for luxury accommodation but congenial atmosphere. If you need a place where to spend quality time with a bigger group of people, away from everything, this is definitely a great pick. We went in April, and there was still some snow of on the mountains just across from the living room window. It must be spectacular in winter!

Exceeded Expectations

We came away from this spot so energized and pleased that it's hard to put it in writing. Evelyn was great helping us get ready for our stay. The house was immaculate, much cleaner than many hotels I've used. And it just has so much room. It's in the perfect spot - out of the way yet not too far away so you can get to a grocery store in a few minutes. Everyone said that they would like to come back for another stay.

About the host

Hosted by Evelyn Pitt

Host profile image
I grew up in Albany, NY and have lived here all my life. I went to high school in Schenectady, NY and to the Empire State College for a four year degree. I have been an avid skier at Mad River Glen for years and have skied the West and Europe on several occasions.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I skied Mad River Glen and loved it (we still do). My two sons grew up skiing there every weekend and holiday week all wiinter. My son (Jeffrey) still uses it most of the winter with his family. We decided to build a duplex with another couple; they were not quite ready, so we built in a single family Swiss Chalet in 1964. It was our builders first house. This property was part of land owned by the builder's family (Richard Brothers); they also sold land to the Green Mountain Valley School and several other lots on our 'hill'. We have always loved it and keep upgrading it.

What makes this property unique

The views from the living room decided us. We could see Sugarbush, Sugarbush North and Mad River Glen all from our front windows!!! That sold us on the property.
