About this property

A-Frame Resto-Mod: Built in '73, Restored in '23

This updated mid-century A-Frame look out across the Mad River Valley and sits above the historic Waitsfield Common Road, locally known as one of the best walking/biking roads in the Valley, if not all of Vermont.

The ski resorts are a 10 to 15 minute drive away. In the warmer months this is a great starting point for hiking, biking, kayaking, and fishing. After a day out, unwind in the hot tub and take in the fresh air.

The floor-to-peak windows of this updated mid-century A-Frame look out across the Mad River Valley. It's an easy walk to the historic Waitsfield Common Road, locally known as one of the best walking/biking roads in the Valley, if not all of Vermont.

The Vonn Trapp Farm Store (yes, the hills are alive with the Von Trapps) is a neighbor down the road.

The ski resorts are a 10 to 15 minute drive away. In the warmer months this is a great starting point for hiking, biking, kayaking, and fishing. The surrounding area is rich with wildlife and natural beauty, providing a calm backdrop for outdoor adventures or quiet relaxation. After a day out, unwind in the hot tub and take in the fresh air.

Inside, this updated classic A-Frame is bright and inviting, with an open living area centered on a stone fireplace. It's it a great spot for reading or watching TV. The big windows fill the space with natural light while the spacious deck is perfect for enjoying the view over a morning coffee or a cookout.

The fully equipped kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and a big dining table, ideal for preparing and sharing meals after a day of exploring. There’s a dedicated workspace if you need to attend to remote work during your stay.

The bedrooms are spacious and well-appointed, ensuring everyone has a restful night. Kids and their friends will enjoy the bunkroom, creating their own fun and memories in a comfortable space.

The house was very comfortable and roomy. Love the deck with the firepit. It was extremely clean and welcoming, with everything you need to have meals in. Will be back for the beautiful views.

Mad River Graduation Weekend

Right from our first steps in and our last steps out, this property exceeded all expectations! It was clean and close to where we needed to get for a busy Graduation weekend itinerary!Would definitely come back! Thank you to the owner as they were very accommodating and easy to get a hold of in a pinch!

Ski lodge in the summer time

We spent an amazing week at the Mad River Ski Chalet. My kids declared this the best Vermont house we've ever stayed in (we go every year, we've stayed at a lot of houses). It's rural enough, while still being close to things you need. Waitsfield is a great town - lots of stores and restaurants. Easy drive to Burlington. But more importantly - the house is just great. Very comfortable, beautifully updated, great deck with incredible views. We definitely plan to stay here again.
