About this property

Enjoy the Balsam Lodge which was built to host a great vacation with open spaces for gathering and quiet places when needed. The Lodge's 3 acres were part of a Christmas Tree farm which is where the name is derived from. The Lodge was custom designed to host a great vacation for a family or for a group of friends. With beds sleeping 10 people there is plenty of room.

As you enter the house thru the mudroom you will find adequate space to hang coats and store shoes and gear. Access to the 2 car garage is to one side while a full laundry room and a full bathroom with stall shower is off this area also.

The living room with 50" TV and soundbar is accessed off the mudroom hallway and opens to the "Chef" inspired kitchen. You fill find a Keurig Coffee Maker and a regular drip coffee maker, toaster oven, crock pot, rice cooker dishwasher, 5 burner cooktop, double ovens and dual sink locations just to mention a few of the items plus of course plenty of dishes and silverware.

Off the kitchen you can enter the dining room with 8' custom wood plank table
which has seating for 10. This is a great place to have meals or play a board game. Walking out of the sliding glass door of the dining room you can access the deck and BBQ Grill.

The Great Room, which can be accessed off the kitchen or living room, has a wood burning fireplace (plenty of wood in the shed), seating for 8. Have a cocktail at the bar that is also located in the Great Room and discuss how you conquered The Goat or hiked Bingham's Falls! Relax in front of a roaring fire and watch the 55" TV above the fireplace.

Upstairs are the 4 bedrooms. The first bedroom is a the master suite with a king bed and it's own bathroom with tub. There are also 2 queen bedrooms and 1 bunk room with 2 custom made bunk beds. These three bedrooms share the third bath that is upstairs or the bath on the main floor.

In the basement we have added a rec room with a TV and two comfortable couches (futons) plus a Foosball table. In addition there is a play room for the kids that includes a variety of toys for their use.

During the warmer months all bedrooms and living areas have Air Conditioning! We have recently installed a outdoor firepit in the backyard for your enjoyment.

THE LODGE IS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND NEW CLEANING PROTOCOLS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO KEEP OUR GUESTS SAFE. Discounts have been added for 1 week and 1 month. If you have interest in another time frame (2 or 3 weeks or longer than a month) please contact us. We can discuss!

Great stay at Balsam Lodge

Visited the area for a ski trip with another family and had a great stay. The house was super clean and comfortable. Upstairs had two nice sized Queen bedrooms, one room with two sets of bunk beds and a large Master bedroom with full bathroom and large closet. Some of the kids opted to stay in the basement area which had two futons, tv, football table. Having 3 full bathrooms was great! One in master, one in upstairs hallway and one on main floor. This made our mornings getting to the mountain easier. We loved the stone fire place, kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Just a short drive to town which had cute stores, restaurants, coffee shops. Grocery store was just a few minutes away. We also enjoyed the Ben & Jerry’s factory tour. Communication with Vinnie and Lauren was great. When we got several inches of snow, the snow removal company worked to have it cleared right away so we can drive to Stowe that morning. My daughter ended up leaving items at the house that she needed and Vinnie and Lauren were nice enough to have them mailed back to us! Overall a great house with great hosts. We would definitely stay again.

Great Place, Great Location

The Balsam Lodge is a great accommodation, a short 7 mile drive to Stow, and even closer to 'downtown'. Well stocked kitchen accessories, appliances, etc. The house was immaculate upon our arrival. Both families would highly recommend!

Stay 12/28/22-1/4/23

This is a hidden gem for a winter stay. The property is located right on the Stowe/Morristown border which conveniently lies about 10 minutes from Stowe Village, and 20-25 minutes from Waterbury. The exterior and the interior of the home look new or newly remodeled and we found the interior to be super clean. The pictures do not do it justice. We had more than enough space for 3 kids and 4 adults. I had to speak with Vinny a few times for a few minor items and he was great and quick to respond. In fact he personally ordered and rush-shipped a brand new coffee maker for us when the other broke! This property exceeded all of our expectations. Highly recommended. This part of Vermont appears like a postcard any which way you look, very gorgeous area.

White Christmas for a South Texas Family

We don't see very many white Christmasses in our South Texas home so we head North every couple of years. We have made 4 trips over the last 8 years to different locations all over the US. The Balsam Lodge and the Stowe ski area have tied for number 1. And there has been some tough competition. Thank you Vinny and Family for sharing this wonderful lodge. It was definately part of the reason this trip was a 10 out of 10.
