The apartment is very cozy and spacious for 5 adults. Mt Ellen hasn't opened when we were there, but the location is only a 7 minutes' drive to the Lincoln Peak base lodge. The host was very accommodating and addressed a maintenance issue we encountered within a reasonable time frame. Bath towels and bed linens were of great hotel quality. The mattresses, pillows and sofa were all very comfortable with good support. Would return for our next ski trip!

Perfect location & accommodations for small family

We loved this property! The views from the kitchen/dining room & deck off of living room were amazing! The fireplace was so wonderful and easy to use. The kids (8 & 11) loved the bunk beds and the large open area in the back of the condos where they could play in the snow after the days on the slopes. My only wish is that the master bed was more comfortable.

Close and easy

The property was clean and sufficient for our brief stay. The process was seamless. I will say, the entrance road (from Mr Ellen) was treacherous and nearly impassable without four wheel drive.

Great Place

The property was great for a relaxing getaway. Nestled in the woods with a gorgeous view of the mountains, I couldn't have asked for a better place. The condo was more spacious than I thought it was going to be with two full bathrooms too! The pool was great and we were the only people at it each day. We were close to Sugarbush restaurants but also close to the Waitsfield restaurants too. If you are looking to relax, this is the place!

This was not the property, it is a picture of somewhere else.We ended up with a second floor condo. Before we could even move our stuff in we were served with a 2 page letter from the occupant downstairs, complaining about other previous noisy tenants. When we went to use the stove it was so dirty it was unusable. The host did a marginal cleaning job on it the next day. We were there to ski and that was good.

Spacious 2 bedroom condo in very quiet location

Enjoyed our stay. Condo had everything we needed, was quiet with great view. However, building itself and condo are older and could use some updates and refreshing/paint. Pool was nice but tennis courts a disaster - should not be advertised with property…court covered in slick moss and pine needles (no upkeep) and therefore unusable.

New Year Greetings

The condo is a cozy, comfortable, updated, well kept accommodation. We enjoyed our stay. Access to parking is easy. The view is amazing especially sunrise ? The skiing was good (the accumulation of recent snow has improved the conditions). Paths for hiking or snowshoeing are numerous. Enjoyed dining at local restaurants We also loved the New Year celebrations and fireworks

Close to Mt Ellen and Mad River

We stayed here last year and liked it so much that we booked again for 2023 (staying for 9 days). This time we made use of the laundry facilities (pay) 2 floors below, which was very convenient. They also do a great job plowing the parking lot and sidewalks. The kitchen is well stocked so we cooked in for 5 nights. Really like being able to adjust temps per room.

As expected, nice little spot

Had a great last minute weekend skiing. The proximity to Mount Ellen allowed us to explore that part of Sugarbush for the first time. While technically not ski in/out, it’s about as close as you can get at a short ten minute walk…1 minute drive down the street to the Mount Ellen main parking area. Two bedrooms accommodated the hour of us perfectly, esp the bunkbeds for the kids. Nice gas fireplace kept us toasty in the main living area.

It was advertised as ski in/ski out. It's not. That was the main reason I chose this place. It was not as clean as it should. Blood stains on comforter and left over wrappers and sock in pull out couch and toilets unclean. People down stairs approached us as we arrived and warned us to be quiet. It was not welcoming.

My Ellen

Property suited our family of 5 quite well. There are only beds for 4, but my youngest slept on 1 of the 3 couches and was fine. Place is not “brand new” but was clean and everything worked well including good water pressure, which is often lacking. It is located on 2nd floor requiring you to walk up 2 small flights. Located about .10 from Mt Ellen and 10 minutes to Lincoln.

Close and all we needed

The condo is a very comfortable size, good sized kitchen, common areas, bedrooms and bathrooms. As noted by others, the kitchen is well stocked. It is the best stocked for number of plates, mugs, glasses, silverware, servers, that I have experienced in a vacation rental. Each room has a thermostat so there is an option to tailor a room temp for individual taste. The gas fireplace was wonderful, it puts out alot of heat, great after a cold day of skiing. We thoroughly enjoyed the view while sitting at the dining room table. I like a firm bed which the master bed was. We found other residents/visitors to be both friendly and courteous. The parking area and drive were promptly plowed so getting an early start on skiing was never a problem. Mt. Ellen is definitely a short walk from the condo.
