We are originally from the MRV and wanted to spend a few days back there and reunite with old friends. We cannot think of a better setting than this one to have done that. We will return.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! We stayed for a full week, and the setting on a country dirt road with open pastures and the mountains looming above was picture-perfect, just as depicted! The beautiful historic Pine Brook Covered Bridge is practically adjacent to this property, and a delight to walk and drive through, a big bonus to staying here. Inside the house itself, everything was neat and tidy. We especially appreciated the updated bathroom with large walk-in shower and expansive vanity. The queen bed mattress upstairs was a DREAM and better than our bed at home! … For nature lovers we advise the Mad River Valley Greenway for a beautiful, easy, scenic hike— only 1 mile from the house! All in all this was a great place to stay and we highly recommend the Historic Valley View in Waitsfield!

Perfect spot

We stayed at Historic Valley View as a stop on a fall foliage trip. Such a wonderful spot to get to amazing small towns and great views. The listing of restaurants, etc. was super helpful and a nice touch. Absolutely would stay again!

Ski stay at Sugarbush

This rental was absolutely perfect for our family. The house is historic, charming and well equipped with games and comfort. Everyone had easy nights rest and the location is convenient for going into town and getting to Sugarbush (and I'm sure Mad River). The view from the dining room is so pretty especially watching the fluffy snow as it did much of the weekend! The kitchen is well stocked with spices and such and is easy to cook in. I would absolutely come back and stay here again.

Cute and comfortable

My husband and I enjoyed our stay with beautiful views and off the beaten path. We were comfortable in the space and looked forward to coming back each evening after a day of exploring. Wifi worked well. Host left a helpful binder with information and recommendations. We used the kitchen, and it had the cookware we needed.

The quiet is unsurpassable.

It is a well-appointed property, and very clean. It is an 1801 property that has been beautifully preserved. But that means there is one bathroom on the bottom floor while the master bedroom is on the second. The owners add thoughtful little things in the kitchen and around the house. Recommended!

Waitsfield VT Farm House

Over all ok, we were there to celebrate Thanksgiving with family who live locally so there to sleep. I will say the upstairs queen is very uncomfortable & having all but one pillow in the home, large & firm a problem. I usually travel with pillow but forgot this trip I did not sleep well.

What a Valley View!

This place was perfect for our annual girlfriends' ski getaway because it was 15 min. to Sugarbush! The home is as pictured except the valley view was even BETTER than imagined (and they added a futon to the first floor"office")! The beds were comfortable; all modern amenities including internet/streaming made this a relaxing stay. Thank you! This is a beautifully upkept 1801 home and still has some of those original specs and charm (see tips). Enjoy it! Thanks again for a wonderful stay in this winter wonderland! Tips for future renters: we had unseasonably warm weather for a February stay, which made for an early "mud" season. In mud, use caution when driving on the access road; no need for a 4WD car though. Remember to read the kitchen description carefully as there is no microwave. Anyone over 5'3" will need to remember to duck when ascending/descending the stairs.

Cozy and rustic Vermont gem

Thanks for a comfortable and smooth stay for a snowy weekend in Waitsfield. Communication from the Vacasa team was clear, and we arrived to a ploughing driveway, straightforward access, and a spotless home. The beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed for a cozy stay in a winter wonderland.

Beautiful Vermont Get-Away

Vermont Property We stayed in this fantastic picturesque setting in the Vermont countryside. The scenery was peaceful. Mountains and large fields. Farm houses, barns, streams, and trees. It was a wonderful place literally minutes from a small New England town that offers all we would need or want. If you would love staying in a quiet natural settings that meets all your needs, this place is for you!
