About this property

Beautiful Private Vermont Home 2 minutes to Sugarbush Resort at Mt. Ellen with views of the slopes

This is a lovely modern 4 bedroom, 3 bath home on a beautiful private lot just 2 min drive to Sugarbush Resort, and 5 mins to downtown Waitsfield. The house is located right on the free shuttle line that will bring you right up to the resort. Enjoy sunny mountain views of the ski slopes from the living room or one of the two second level decks. The location of Slide Brook Retreat is really hard to beat as you are right in the heart of the Mad River Valley!

Please message through the booking medium or email before calling or texting for fastest response. Available during normal hours M-F 9-5 and for emergencies during reasonable non sleeping hours.

Located off German Flats Rd, just 2 minutes drive to Sugarbush Mt. Ellen. Although close to the ski resort it is a residential neighborhood.

Entire house and property. Four wheel drive and snow tires are required for safe travel in winter months in this region of Vermont.

Entire property, large 2 story, 4br home with open floor plan, two decks with beautiful views. Very private and hard to beat location.

Snow tires advised in winter. Local plowing occurs when they can get to it that day. Please be understanding this is Vermont and conditions are unpredictable.

From the front door you walk into a large mud room with plenty of space for skis, snowboards and outerwear. Additionally, on the ground floor you will find two bedrooms; one with 1 queen bed, the second with two beds (1 queen & 1 twin), a full bathroom with shower/tub, a small living room space, and access to the laundry/utility room. Follow the stairs to the second level and you reach the bright and modern kitchen that opens to the dining area and living room with an open floor plan. With large windows that stretch to the ceiling, there is plenty of natural light and views to be found. Sit back and relax on the large sofa or warm up by the beautifully crafted stone fireplace. Continue past the living room and you will find the remaining two bedrooms as well as a full bathroom. The master bedroom, with a king sized bed has a wonderfully designed ensuite bathroom with walk in glass shower as well as its own private deck with mountain views. The second upstairs bedroom is equipped with a queen bed. There is an additional pull out double futon with bedding provided located on the ground floor if needed.

Please note AC is available in the living room only via a split unit.

Just right

Clean, cozy place with the right amount of space and amenities for a family ski trip. Price is appropriate for the value. 5 minutes from Sugarbush, so having a family friendly place to stay near a family friendly resort really made our trip much more enjoyable. Very content would return here.

Great Mad River Valley home base

This was a great property to use as a base while hiking around Mad River Valley. The house was lovely - filled with light, perfectly clean, and the mini-splits kept the house nice and cool. We'd absolutely stay there again.

MRVM Does Not Disappoint!

This is our second year staying in a mad river valley management property and we were just as happy as the first time. The cleanliness and beds were awesome, sometimes you never know what you are going to get but I think its safe to say their rentals have all the convenience and comfort you need.

Great Getaway

We enjoyed our stay. Very good location for our trip. Minutes from the stores, movie theater and shops. The house is as advertised, and everything was ready when we arrived. There was no need to bother our hosts, as there was ample supplies, dishes, and the appliances all were kept in great working condition. Two balconies allowed for great views of the stars and surrounding mountains. We hope to return and use this location again, and would recommend any of this host.

Great time in the MRV!

Property was in fantastic shape and the check in process was easy. This house is in a great location with plenty of local hiking trails, waterfalls, scenic drives. The view from the second story of the home is amazing with the floor to ceiling windows and the deck is a perfect location for breakfast for the cool summer morning. Looking forward to staying again during ski season! Josh and Colin were great to work with and were very responsive and helpful getting us in last minute.

Book this amazing house!

We were up for a long ski weekend with adult kids and friends. This house is ideal for a ski weekend -so close to Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen. The house was in perfect condition. Appliances look to be brand new and spotless. The rooms were very comfortable. The kitchen/dining/living area is great for a group to relax, and enjoy a nice dinner and night by the fire. The communications with the host were excellent. Everything was just perfect. We'll book this house again...so should you!

Beautiful House

This is a wonderful property. We have stayed in many Vermnt condos and houses over the years and this one ranks at the very top. Very comfortable and well-stocked, plenty of space, clean and tidy. There is a great entry room for gear and a big laundry room with space for boots, bags, etc. Clearly the house is meticulously cared for and that shows in the details. Also, this house was very warm - sounds strange but almost every property we have stayed in has had drafty spots, rooms, cold floors, etc. This house is well insulated and very comfortable. It is very close to Mt. Ellen and Sugarbush and in a beautiful spot. The management team was great and we got all our info on the house a week before. We never had to interact with them because everything was so smooth, so that was great, as well. We will definitely be back!
