I was living my 90s butter Mom cozy fantasy in real life. Adorable cottage, so close to downtown Stowe. They did a wonderful job curating a unique experience in the cottage. Adorable! Great outdoor space to relax as well.

Our family loved this property. It looks like a storybook and was very comfortable and well-stocked. We especially enjoyed the back deck in the mornings with our coffee, and family movie night in the evenings. Its proximity to Stowe was very convenient. Only note I’d make is the mattress in the main bedroom is quite soft and feels a bit worn as we occasionally rolled into each other at night. We prefer a firmer mattress, so that’s entirely based on preference.

Truly a fun and unique place to stay, cozy, well stocked with all necessities. Loved the balcony right off the bedroom! The loft space might be cool for a more agile and athletic person to sleep in but not for someone who might need to use bathroom in the middle of the night! Lol. We would definitely consider staying here again.

We had the best return to Goldilocks this Thanksgiving. The cottage is uber charming and comfortable with everything you might need. The kitchen was stocked, as was wood for the woodburning stove. The location cant be beat, it's just a great cozy spot to relax.

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.

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.
