About this property

Romantic Cabin: Pets OK, Close to Town, Wood stove, 1 Bdrm + Loft, 8 mi. to ski

The cabin is located on Stowe Hollow Road, a residential area of widely spaced lots, just 1 mile from Stowe village, eight miles to Mt. Mansfield and skiing, and just a few miles to the Pinnacle, one of the most spectacular hikes in Vermont. So, if you are looking for a secluded cabin in the woods, Goldilocks may not be your best choice, but if you want a charming and unique, conveniently located cabin, which is easily accessible in all weather conditions, Goldilocks is just right.

Goldilocks is well appointed with Black Forest and French antiques, and antler chandeliers--the perfect combination of rustic and luxury. The piping hot wood stove and the chiming cuckoo clock make this cabin a cozy retreat after a day of hiking or skiing. The large master bedroom has an antique four poster bed, complete with a sumptuous mattress, and a alcove with a desk. The sleeping loft (a favorite of older children) is accessed by a ladder and has a full size bed. There is a sleeper sofa in the living room, as well. The cabin has two decks a gas barbecue, and a fire pit. Goldilocks is pet-friendly. Well behaved, approved pets are always welcome.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The wood stove made it extra cozy at night, and the location was perfect—close to town, but still quiet and peaceful. The host’s communication was fantastic and made everything easy from check-in to checkout. We also really appreciated that it’s pet-friendly! Highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a relaxing mountain retreat.

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!

Charming Vermont cabin

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights in the Fall. We loved how it was so close to downtown Stowe but not right in town The decor of the cabin was very charming we loved the attention to detail that the owner used in decorating. It felt very cozy. We look forward to another stay in the future.

This was a true "Vermont Experience". Cozy, quiet and a bit off the beaten path, but close enough to enjoy everything. Your subtle nods to the Goldilock's theme did not go unnoticed and the wonderful March snowstorm was the icing on the cake. Thank you for the wonderful stay. Barton & Susan

Charming Cabin

When my wife and I arrived at Goldilocks Cabin, we stepped through the doorway and found ourselves in a delightful, storybook setting with all of the modern conveniences! We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights in the cottage. The cottage was immaculate and well-appointed. Jill was easy to work with and reached out to see if we had any questions and/or needed anything. We look forward to coming back to Goldilocks Cabin for a summer visit. Thank you Jill!

Relaxing & Quaint

If you check out the Goldilocks website- it’s exactly as stated. It is off a fast street windy street, no sidewalks but you need a car to get around Stowe anyhow. Us NYC folks enjoyed the quiet & remote surroundings of the cabin. Lots to see inside so we were off our cell phones & really enjoyed the visual decors. Thank you for the board games!

Snowbound

The driveway was not cleared, caused my truck to slide and have to be towed by AAA one day, the next day, after snowing at night, slid again and had to dig out of the opposite snow bank. No snow shovel at location. Driveway not cleared and had a terrible crown, suggest scraping down the crown. Beautiful cabin not so great snow removal.

Lovely Thanksgiving Stay

We had a lovely stay at the goldilocks cabin. It was exactly as described and the pictures were accurate. The location is close to everything in Stowe and Waterbury. Since we love cooking, we were pleased to find the kitchen is well-provided with kitchen utensils and pots, exactly as seen in the pictures.The cabin is very cozy and the decoration is amazing, with many goldilocks theme details. The wood-fired stove had already been loaded with firewood, which was a pleasant surprise, and it was well-provided with extra kindling in a nearby basket. We loved how cozy it was to stay near it and even made some hot chocolate on it.If we had to note something it would be that both TVs (the one in the living room and the bedroom) are quite small, and that the living room TV is positioned in a way that makes it quite inconvenient to use. So if you plan on watching movies in the cabin, keep that in mind.That said we had a great stay and definitely recommend the cabin!

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.
