I love the fact that our host has put everything one needs to feel @ home. Robes, coffee machine, grinder, all kinds of cooking pots, towels, hair stuff, seasonings, grill etc. You don't have to bring much. Comfy for 2 & puppy, this is our go to cabin.

Goldilocks

This cozy cabin was exactly what we needed. It was decorated with gorgeous colonial fabrics and the worn wood floors were buttery smooth. The kitchen was well equipped with excellent cookware that made meal making fun. We found good game choices, enjoyed sitting on the deck to soak up some sun and had fun sitting around the campire in the evening! Great location being close to town but far enough to feel country. Goldilocks made a very nice memory.

Magical Cottage

The Goldilocks Cottage is more than just right--this cozy and beautifully decorated cabin gave us the getaway we'd been hoping for. Thoughtfully designed, the cottage provided a warm, inviting place to hang out between our winter adventures.

Charming Warm Country Cabin

We found the perfect little home away from home location spot - charming cabin a short drive to town where our whole family (my husband, daughter, and our dog) could relax after a day of skiing and sight-seeing. Stowe is a picture postcard around every corner and that includes this sweet cabin. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove, it added such a nice touch to the cold winter evenings. Impressed with all the little touches - would indeed return!

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
I am an interior designer who realized I could use my particular talents to create the type of vacation rental that I myself am always looking for. In this commoditized world of professionally managed properties it has become difficult to find the personalized and the unique. Goldilocks Cabin is the antidote to this predictability.

I am married to a tug boat captain, and we live on Nantucket island with our cat, Charlie, and three chickens.

Why they chose this property

Goldilocks Cabin was originally the ski cabin of the principal designer at the interior design firm where I was then employed. Together we had great fun decorating the cabin on buying trips to New York, the Paris Flea Market, and at our favorite Vermont antique stores. When my boss decided to buy a bigger house, I jumped at the chance to make Goldilocks Cabin my own.
