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.

The house was perfect for us! Such a nice home on a beautiful property! The host was wonderful and responded very quickly to messages. Our family is 4 (plus our little dog, Harley) enjoyed our stay! The sledding hill behind the barn was an added bonus! We had many laughs! A much needed family getaway while our kids were home from college on winter break. We are looking forward to returning!

We had a great stay at Mike's house. We came up for a long ski weekend with college-aged kids, and everyone loved the house, the wood stove, comfortable beds, thoughtful design, mid-century style furnishing, proximity to skiing, and town. The kitchen is so well-equipped that I could have planned more complex meals. Mike was super easy to communicate with, and all the instructions for the house were clear and easy. Def will come back, would love to do a summer stay and explore the whole property.

Welcoming property with a great main room. The stove and firewood was an excellent touch, and something we looked forward to every night. The host was very responsive. Thanks so much!

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.
