About this property
Cozy Farmhouse Nestled Between Stowe and Waterbury
Beautifully restored 1840's era farmhouse is the ideal retreat for ski vacations, hiking, biking & exploring lakes and streams, hanging with friends & family and work from home & homeschooling stays. Features post & beam construction, wide plank flooring, luxurious radiant heat, stainless steel appliances, large windows and powerful WiFi.
Clean, cozy, and loads of character combining the best of old and new.
Please send a quick message with a few trip/group details before instant booking as we are on multiple sites!
It has been said that this is the coziest house in the world.
Warm in winter and cool in the summer, it has 4 bedrooms. There is a full bath upstairs (with washer & dryer), and a master suite with tile shower downstairs. It also has a half-bath, mudroom, covered porch, spacious living room and an open kitchen and dining room.
Coffee time in the morning or amazing après ski dinners at night are a treat when you are surrounded by windows in the open plan kitchen. The property features a large back yard with views of Mt. Mansfield and Hunger Mountain.
The house has a high definition TV with all the best apps (Netflix, Amazon, etc.) and both hard wired and wireless internet access in every room. There is off-street parking for several cars in the driveway.
It is an older house, and the stairs are a little steeper and narrower than those found in most homes today. Most people have no problem (our young kids are fine on them), there is a handrail (and baby gates available), but if you have trouble with "normal" stairs you'd want the downstairs bedroom, or a different house.
The location is centrally located between Stowe and the Village of Waterbury in a quiet, picturesque neighborhood.
The house is a perfect haven of tranquility. But also close to some of Vermont’s finest attractions - the Ben & Jerry’s factory and the Cold Hollow Cider Mill - are both within 2 miles. Also in town are many amazing restaurants, including Hen of the Wood and Michael’s On the Hill. We’re very close to Waterbury’s newest bar/restaurant/yoga studio, The Zen Barn! And nearby Stowe boasts too many fine restaurants and pubs to list.
Just a short drive from the house is the best downhill and x-country skiing, boarding, mountain biking, hiking and canoeing in New England. Within 10 miles lie Stowe Mountain Resort, Trapp Family Lodge, Waterbury Reservoir and the Lamoille and Winooski Rivers. Skiing at Bolton, Sugarbush and Mad River is nearby.
Just across the street is Hope Davey Park with playground, a skate park, ball fields, Frisbee golf, and walking/x-country skiing trails.
This is our vacation house and we're excited to share it. That said, the neighborhood is quiet, so please, no party groups!!
Strict no pets policy. Kids are very welcome.
If you book, please take minute to tell us a little about your group to satisfy our curiosity :)

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Tyler

I grew up in Waterbury and went to UVM for both undergraduate and graduate school. After buying the house I stripped it down to the studs and then spent several years putting the pieces back together, with a few modern creature comforts. My wife Jenni joined mid-way through the project, then our two little boys arrived. We decided to change things up and moved from the Green Mt. State to the Ocean State in 2010 to be closer to Jenni's work. We're now fortunate enough to be able to go back and forth!
Why they chose this property
It's a cool, old house that's been tastefully restored to be comfortable and cozy, with a good mix of old-school humility and new-school amenities. The central location is one of the most underrated benefits of Waterbury Center. You're close to just about everything, yet the area has a rural feel, and you can easily avoid traffic.
What makes this property unique
The property has a terrific sense of place. It was humbling to renovate a home built before the civil war. Most original materials made their way back into the house (after a lot of scraping, sanding and refinishing!).
