About this house rental
Mt Ellen Ski Chalet
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Occupying the second level of a classic A-frame ski chalet, this charming escape boasts both a secluded setting on 2.5 quiet acres and easy access to three nearby ski resorts. Sugarbush at Mt. Ellen is less than a mile away; Sugarbush at Lincoln Peak is four miles down the road; and Mad River Glen ski area is around five miles away. And, with a location just off the main road to Sugarbush at Mt. Ellen, guests can easily catch the free Mad Bus that circulates between the two mountains and throughout some of the Mad River Valley. Warm-weather visitors will be equally spoiled for choice with abundant hiking and mountain biking trails nearby, and guests year-round will be within just a few minutes’ drive of shops, restaurants, and other amenities.
At the home itself, outdoor highlights include a large deck, ideal for summertime coffee or cocktails. Inside, you’ll find an open, airy space with high ceilings and comfortable furnishings. The full, well-equipped kitchen makes meal prep a breeze, and there’s room for everyone around the rustic-chic dining table.
After a day of outdoor adventures, stream the latest release on TV, use the free WiFi to post the day’s pics to social media, or choose one of several board games and reconvene around the dining table for some family fun. Two main-level bedrooms plus a bedroom upstairs in the loft space (there is a door for added privacy) offer a restful night’s sleep. The peaceful getaway you’ve been dreaming of awaits - all that’s left to do is book.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2024
The property had plenty of space for our group. I would suggest some steps be put in and some more care be spent on snow removal but we had fun sliding downhill to the entrance.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2023
The property is woodsy, very relaxing and calming. The cabin is cleaned well, beds are comfy and can get a nice sleep all night. I like the big windows where you can see out into the trees. The kitchen is a working kitchen so you can bring groceries to cook which is a nice perk. The only call out I have is that the water tastes and smells metallic, maybe the owners need to redo the pipes or add in a filter system to make sure the water is safe to use. Other than that, it's a cozy cabin for people to relax in and enjoy the trees.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2023
You have to drive to either Sugarbush or Mad River Glen ski areas but they are super close. The place had a great feel and was spacious. Note: to get to the second floor (which is the first floor of the unit), and then up to the second floor bedroom and open area, you have to walk up a narrow spiral staircase so keep it in mind if you're carrying big pieces of luggage. Overall, the place was great.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2024
The property location was amazing and even though there was a downstairs, you would never know it.
Not being able to communicate directly to the own of the property was a bit problematic. The heat did not work and it wasn’t until the next day that the issue was resolved. The person who did respond was amazing and able to go ahead and fix the issue rather quickly.
I also thought it was a bit strange so we were not allowed to go ahead and enter until 4 o’clock and when we asked if we could go ahead and come in one hour early, we had to wait via text message for a response and never received one. Also thought it was a bit strange that we had to pay $25 to check out late. The original check out time was 10 AM which is a little aggressive if you are on vacation with your students at the nearby university.
They were also mouse droppings in the kitchen. There was also a mouse be in one of the bedrooms. Not some thing that you want to see. The cleaning people should probably just pass a vacuum through all the cabinets and in the drawers of the kitchen. I lived in the country so I understand that having little mice is sometimes some thing that comes with the territory, but you do need to keep your rental clean.
