About this cottage rental
Transport to our quintessential Vermont home tucked on the hillside of a quiet dirt road . Enjoy easy drives to neighboring towns like Stowe, Waterbury, and Waitsfield allowing you to be minutes away from your outdoor adventure or meal. Our 1800's cottage was fully renovated to fit the needs of modern comfort while maintaining its vintage charm. The open floor plan on the first floor offers an abundance of light and brings the tranquility of the outdoors in. Enter through the side of the home into a sitting area with a TV. Ditch your boots and coats and head into the living space which opens into the kitchen and dining room, making conversation easy regardless of the room you're in. A centrally placed gas stove spreads warmth and cozy vibes for all to enjoy. The first floor bathroom boasts an open air shower with views of the pines or unwind in the claw foot tub.
The stairs to the second floor are steeper (and maybe a little creakier) than usual and take you to the landing which all bedrooms are accessed from. The rustic floorboards lead you to either a Queen room (x2) or the Master with a King bed and walk in closet. There is a brand new full bath upstairs.
The backyard offers a stone patio to enjoy summer meals under the stars There is a 'stream' that runs through the property adding peaceful background noise in addition to the other sounds of nature you'll find here. The home backs up to 100's of acres of protected land further supporting the 'remote' feel of the cottage.
We recommend AWD or 4WD in snow/mud months.

The cottage was in a great location. 15 minutes from Waterbury and 89. Check in process was smooth and the beds were comfy. All bedrooms are on the second floor with a pretty steep staircase. Just letting you know if traveling with older people with mobility issues. Enjoyed our time and location of the property.

Host was welcoming and helpful. Great little cabin in the woods. Cozy fire on a snow filled weekend. Thankful for all wheel drive to get up the hill in the snow before sanders arrived. But the location was just the escape needed!

Perfect place for a fall weekend getaway! Easy access to Stowe and surrounding areas. We made a meal at the vrbo one night and were cozy every evening.
