About this house rental
Beautiful 4 bedroom house on 5 secluded acres. Located at the end of a private lane just across the covered bridge from the quaint town of Waitsfield in the heart of the Mad River Valley. Only a few miles from Mad River Glen and Sugarbush ski resorts.
Open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and rustic wood-burning stove. There are two large bedrooms on the top floor, each with its own balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee and take in the mountain views. The master bedroom suite opens out to the wrap-around deck. The bottom floor is a large bedroom suite with its own recreation area with foosball table.
Slip into an Adirondack chair by the natural stone firepit and watch Scragg Mountain glow in the sunset. Relax in the hammock under the rustle of the tall trees. Hike or mountain bike the private trails maintained by the owners. Go for a stroll to enjoy the wildflowers and pick raspberries and blackberries in the summer. Hop on a bike and coast to the famous covered bridge swimming hole on the Mad River. Perhaps you would like to strap on some snowshoes (or hiking shoes) and take the hiking trails to Wu Ledges, accessible by a short walk from our driveway down the lane to the trail head. The view of the Mad River Valley from Wu Ledges is breathtaking in every season!
Kids will love the swing set with slide and clubhouse and the tree swing! There is even a small sledding hill on the property!
Snowshoes, bikes (with child seat), canoe, river tubes, sleds, and other equipment are available to help you enjoy the outdoors. In warm weather, Blueberry Lake, various swimming holes, waterfalls, and hiking trails are all nearby.
Attending an event at The Round Barn? The house is 0.7 miles away from this amazing venue.
If you are looking for a long weekend away, Sugarhouse Lodge is the way to go. Check-out is flexible, so you can make the most of your stay, and you can still ski the day you leave.
If interested, the town of Stowe is 45 minutes away and Killington is about an hour away.

We went to visit our son for family weekend at Norwich University. The house was so beautiful!! We had a wonderful time, and had so much fun being together as a family tanks to the perfect accommodation. My daughter and her husband had the downstairs, which they felt like they had their own apartment. I had the pleasure of the master bedroom on the main floor. That was so spacious. My son and his dad enjoyed the two large bedrooms upstairs. The kitchen was so well equipped (even more amenities than my own kitchen), which we enjoyed dinners and breakfast. We went to our go to favorite restaurant in Montpelier, that was only a short drive. We enjoyed the back yard with a wonderful view of the mountains. Unfortunately we couldn’t make a fire pit, because there was a no fire band in Vermont. It was unusually warm for that time of the year, so having AC was a nice perk. Everything was top notch, definitely the best rental house I have ever rented!!!!!! Hope to be back there next family weekend and maybe even graduation. Thank you Renee and Matt for letting us enjoy your home.

Our stay was wonderful. The house was clean, quiet, beautifully appointed, and very private, yet accessible to Waitsfield, Warren, and surrounding areas. The wooded property provided views of the nearby mountains and added to a relaxing vacation. The hosts were great to work with. We would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you Renee and Matt!

Sugarhouse Lodge provided my family and me an exceptional vacation experience in beautiful Waitsfield, Vermont. The hosts, Renee and Matt, ensured the most pleasant experience as accommodations were impeccable, check-in was easy and any communication was delivered in a timely manner. The lodge is very spacious with a large, well-organized kitchen that provided all amenities of home. The rooms throughout are also large and very comfortable for many guests to find a relaxing area to lounge. We enjoyed many peaceful moments outside in nature with our morning coffees down by the fire pit, meals on the deck, and evening star-gazing. We are so thrilled to have had the opportunity to stay at beautiful Sugarhouse Lodge. It made our trip to Vermont the best with happy memories all around!

We spent two weeks in this house in the summer and it was perfect. We were a family of four, but the house could have comfortably accommodated several more people. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The house was very clean and comfortable. The location of the house was probably one of it's best features. It's at the end of a private road and feels very secluded, but is also very close to town. Between the fire pit, hammock, playground, and wide open space, we really enjoyed the outdoor areas of the house. Direct walking access to Wu Ledges Town Forest was very nice for hiking, biking, and running. Renee and Matt were great hosts and very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend this property for any season.
