This charming duplex, nestled into the peaceful Waitsfield landscape, hosts ample amenities and everything to you need to relax and recharge during your upcoming nature retreat.

Ideally located for fun and recreation, you’ll find Sugarbush Resort (five miles), Warren Falls (10 miles), and Cedar Knolls Country Club (20 miles) all close by for endless entertainment. Hike amidst the stunning waterfalls, play a round of leisurely golf on gorgeous greens, or delight in world-class skiing and snowboarding at Sugarbush. Closer to home, you’ll find babbling brooks, the sound of cascading waterfalls, and majestic views of Mt. Ellen all adorn the surrounding property. Looking to take a quick walk or hike? The Mad River Path and Catamount Trail System are located just down the road.

Step into this sun-filled escape and feel right at home in the open-concept living area hosting direct balcony access, exposed wooden beams, plush seating, and treetop views. Snuggle up on the sofa to stream your favorite movies and welcome in the cool, evening air. A full kitchen boasts modern appliances and plenty of counter space for effortless food preparation. Craft delicious home-cooked meals or quick breakfasts with ease. Even better, utilize the outdoor grill for a barbecue while soaking up some sun and sharing laughs. The primary bedroom is inviting with soft, cozy linens, charming rustic decor, and deck access, while the en suite bath provides additional privacy and comfort. After a fun day of mountain adventure, unwind on the patio with a sunset cocktail, letting the starlight and nature sounds serenade you to sleep in paradise.

Additional amenities we love in this home include high-speed internet, a work-from-home space, and a private washer/dryer for those packing light.

Property was clean, quiet, and nicely situated. Nice lodging for those not requiring spa-like pampering.
