About this house rental
Private, peaceful mountain retreat with pond and brook on 10 beautiful acres at the base of Bald Mountain in the heart of the Mad River Valley. Two miles from route 100B. Perfect location for a family Summer, Fall or Winter vacation. Our house will accommodate 5 adults. We have two double beds and one single. Enjoy x-country skiing, snowshoeing, or back country skiing in the winter. Hiking, swimming, bicycling, and/or kayaking in the Summer. 2 miles from Moretown Village and the Mad River on route 100B; 20 minutes to Mad River Glen or Sugarbush; 45 minutes to Stowe. Well behaved pets of responsible owners are welcome.
PLEASE NOTE the following before making a reservation request:
***LINENS ARE NOT PROVIDED, and we do not have AC. Fans are provided.***
We do not rent to vacationing students or singles under age 25. Any reservation obtained under false pretense will be subject to forfeiture of payment and will not be permitted to check-in.
Plowing is included in the event of significant snowfall (4" or more). No refunds will be given for storms. Mountain roads can be curvy and steep. The roads are well maintained, however we highly recommend snow tires, four wheel drive and/or chains during the snow months, and caution that mud season (typically anytime from March to April) can be difficult to navigate without 4-wheel drive or sufficient clearance. We do not refund due to road conditions.

We love Vermont and Fall there is our favorite time. This is our third time staying here. This year we stayed for a week and love every minute of it. This home has become our home away from home. We love the peacefulness and tranquility it has to offer. Nestled in between mountains with a beautiful view. It is close to many locations for daily trips to visit such as Burlington, Stowe, and Montpelier and many more places. The home is cozy and well kept/clean and all the amenities you would need for a long stay.The hosts are great to communicate with and respond quickly if needed.It is definitely a place I would recommend if you are thinking about going to this area in Vermont.

This place was perfect Vermont get away for me and my family. It was especially nice being away from any busy roads for my dog who loved the pond and the stream on the property. Also really cool you can see cows from neighboring farm right out the living room windows the kids loved it.

We love staying at Caroline and Mike’s place! This is our third time here, and we’ll be back for sure! It is easily located to lots of things, but peaceful and serene with so much to do on the property itself. The house is so cute, well decorated, and a great layout. 1000% recommend a stay here!

We spent 2 weeks at Caroline and Mike's home in Moretown, enjoying the glorious Mad River Valley in August. We have stayed at other properties in the area so our feedback is with that experience in mind.
The Pros:
-Caroline and Mike were great hosts, easy to communicate with and responsive. They allowed us to change our dates when we needed to, and responded quickly and effectively when an issue came up at the house.
-The property is so beautiful. We especially loved the field behind the barn, the crystal clear creek, and the cows next door.
-The house was spacious and allowed us to spread out
-The espresso machine made mornings a delight :)
The Cons:
-If you are at all sensitive to mold, dust, or other allergens, this is not the rental for you.
-Linens are not provided; granted it was written somewhere in the listing but we didn't see that fine print until the week before our visit; had we been aware we might reconsider the value of this rental.
-The cost is rather steep considering the amount of labor we needed to put in at both the beginning and end of our vacation
Thank you again to Caroline and Mike for hosting us at their property; while it wasn't a great fit for us I can imagine it being great for another family, especially one with pets.
