Beautiful getaway in the mountains. This house had lots of privacy, a beautiful surrounding area and lots of room for a family to spread out. The owner, Mario was extremely easy to communicate with, and we had a very enjoyable time!

Family getaway with kids and grandchild

House was clean, very comfortable and open layout. Location was great with easy access to town, Warren, and great gravel biking right from the house, along with lots of great nearby hiking. Overall worked out great!

Beautiful Setting - Superb Host

We had two parents, four children (12-6) and two grandparents who fit very comfortably in the house. The Mad River Valley provided great hiking and exploring opportunities. Stowe was an easy drive away and we went there once for dinner. As others have said, you feel away from it, but town (Waitsfield) is conveniently close. The kids loved the private access to the river and spent two afternoons rock hopping and wading in the river. The weather was hot, but we enjoyed the screened in porch that featured plenty of privacy and beautiful views. The kitchen was well appointed and the outdoor grill worked well. Perhaps the best aspect of the house was the outstanding support Mario offered! Both before and during our visit, he was super responsive providing shopping, hiking, and swimming recommendations. Thank you, Mario! We hope to return.

Living in nature, but convenient to town

I had never been to the Mad River region before and this was a great introduction. Very close to all the necessities and recreations of town, but not too close. You definitely felt "away from it all", but it was easy to run out and grab milk for breakfast. There was plenty of room, always important when traveling with multiple groups of adults and children. The small pond on the property was full of crayfish, salamanders and frogs, much to our delight. The river in the back of the property was great for afternoon walks and exploration and the views are as stunning as the pictures.

Great Location and wonderful house

The house was very roomy and clean. Great views of the mountains and felt remote despite being within 5-10 minutes of lots of great places in and around Waitsfield.

Excellent house and beautiful location

My family and I rented Mario's home for 4 weeks. Our stay was excellent and exceeded our expectations. The house is great - very clean, spacious, and updated with every amenity one would need for an extended stay. Being able to pull two cars in the garage was an added bonus and made things easier loading and unloading after skiing. My two boys loved the upstairs kids/family room as it gave them some privacy away from the adults and plenty of room to spread out. The view out to the backyard and mountains in the distance was great and my boys loved playing in the snow in the backyard. Great location - easy access to Lincoln Peak and Mount Ellen and a very short drive to the stores and dining in Waitsfield Village. I worked remotely for a couple of the weeks and the wifi was excellent. Mario was a great host and extremely responsive when we had questions about the property during our stay. We look forward to renting again!
