About this property

Bright & Airy Guest House in downtown Waterbury

This meticulously cared for loft is very private, spacious, has an open layout, and is a second floor apartment that is full of natural light, unique original artwork and subtle patterns and colors.
It has a gorgeous river view, spanning lawn, a willow tree allée to wander through. Want to see fireflies at night in the summer or get lost in a sea of stars at night? This property is a perfect mix of privacy and space while being in the heart of the downtown Waterbury VT.

This space was designed by artist and owner of a local art gallery. Her design and curation experience is evident in the unique art and objects within the space as well as the light, playful layers of color and pattern. The loft is an opportunity for an immersion in light and creativity while relaxing in a comfortable open space. The oversized kitchen allows you to dive into your own culinary adventures. With a 5 burner gas range, multiple ways to brew the best cup of coffee or tea and all the cook and drinkware items needed to make full meals, you will be feeling right at home. Area hiking and skiing guide books are available for reference and use. There is ample drawer and closet storage for longer stays. Hardwood maple flooring and an energy efficient heat exchanger keep the space very warm and cozy during the winter and cool in the summer. This 725 sq foot loft has a built in ski/snowboard rack in the entry and an exercise area with yoga mat, weights and ball within the space.

The ski and summer resorts of Stowe, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, Bolton, and Cochran’s are readily accessible within a 30 minute drive or less.

Less than a mile away is one of Vermont’s most popular mountain bike trail networks – Perry Hill.

We are less than 5 miles from the 900-acre Waterbury Reservoir and State Park, giving you access to swimming, fishing and outdoor picnicking and the ability to rent stand up paddle boards and kayaks.

Waterbury is one of Vermont’s newest destinations for food and beverage connoisseurs - home to The Alchemist’s Heady Topper, the Prohibition Pig, Hen of the Wood, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Cold Hollow Apple Cider Mill.

This apartment is uniquely located at the end of a residential dead end road while still in the heart of Waterbury Village! The Guest House loft is above a 2-car garage that is minimally used by the owners.

Relaxing space in quaint downtown Waterbury
What's that? You're going to Vermont and need quiet and relaxing, clean, curated space to stay in, but also want to be a nice walk or short drive from a cute downtown with good food and drinks? Boom - found it! The Guest House is a cute and comfortable second floor stay, with a full kitchen and laundry, and a comfortable living room. I had a great dinner at Salt and Rind, and may or may not have had breakfast pastries at Hender's bake shop... Everything was comfortable and easy, the only difficulty was getting out of bed while watching snow fall over the river out the bedroom window... Enjoy your stay!

The best of Waterbury
This was my 4th stay at the Guesthouse. Whitney and Wade are the best. I couldn't ask for a better vacation rental in my favorite "adopted" town. Can't wait to return!
