Fantastic views! A perfect spot for our family- 5 adults who were in the area for a wedding in Stowe. The location was perfect and we enjoyed the eclectic 70’s vibe. Very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed.

We stayed with our family of four and in-laws. Everything was exactly as listed. We were close to everything: downtown Waterbury, Stowe and Burlington. The 70s vibe was groovy and tons of books to explore! Hope to stay again!
A group of friends and I stayed in the home for a wedding in the area, and it was fantastic for seven adults! Lots of space and unique features of the home. The pool and outdoor fire pit are awesome! Would absolutely stay again!

House needs a lot of work and better cooking skillets. The outdoor pool area was fantastic and we loved the long dining table!
As advertised, a retro ski chalet from the 1970s. House has lots of room and all the basic amenities we needed for a successful long weekend stay. Great view from the front deck and the book collection is amazing.

Chalet Stay
The location is perfect and the town of Waterbury is lovely.
The layout is perfect for a two family vacation, if everything is working properly and clean.
Three full bathrooms and only one could be used to shower and only two of the toilets could be used.
There was mold in the one fully functioning bathroom shower. We were left with one and a half rolls of toilet paper. The house was very musty and full of dust. It needs a good airing out and cleaning. Curtains falling off of rods throughout the hose.The king room bedroom had broken cranks on the windows. Pool was dirty.and
Werent there much mostly to just sleep. When got there ran litchen sink (upstairs-main) leaked so nad soaked under sink. We called about it
Said some1 would come but no 1 did. It as okay we used sink downstairs if needed it but we didnt use it. Nor the pool (to cold temperature outside)
My family and I stayed for 2 nights to catch the total solar eclipse. Located up on a hill with mountain views, this was a perfect location! The sunsets here were also amazing. The house definitely needs some updating/maintenance but was within our price range so we were mostly satisfied.
At 2500 square feet, there is plenty of room to spread out. The house has 3 floors - the basement is a walk out and has a small kitchen, full bathroom, a living area, 2 pull out couches/loveseats and a cot. The main floor has 2 bedrooms with queen size beds, a living area, dining area, kitchen and full bath. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked all of our meals during our stay. The upstairs is accessed by spiral staircase and has 1 bedroom with twin bunk beds and a full bath but the cold-water faucet was broken. One of the bathroom faucets in the basement was also leaking. We discovered a secret room behind a bookcase upstairs so that was fun!
The garage housed the ping pong table and foosball and there is a firepit in the back behind the pool. We visited in April so the pool wasn't open yet but the gate to the pool area was not working and off its hinges. After finding some empty beer cans around, we wondered if the last guests who stayed here did not care for the property like they should have. Overall, we had a great time and also appreciated all the outdoor furniture so we could hang out and enjoy the beautiful weather and spectacular eclipse!

Needs professional cleaning & rodent extermination
House itself is very cool. It needs professional cleaning,mouse extermination, mouse feces in toaster & counter tops, live mouse ended up in dishwater in sink,outdoor grill needs cleaned still had old food on it, refrigerator was dirty, need new bed sheets full of pilling
The location is 10/10. I loved the house and the way it is decorated. Great for a big group of people, we were about 8, and could sleep comfortably. Nice little pool area in the back. Overall a pleasant stay and very close to Ben&Jerry’s factory.
Great for groups of 6-9, open layout and neat / interesting decor / appointments.

No Water Pressure and No Outdoor Lights
Although the property was described accurately we arrived later in the evening. There were no outdoor lights on, nor were we able to put those lights on once we actually accessed the house. More importantly, of the 3 showers in the house only one produced any type of water (which was actually a drip.) It was impossible to take a shower, especially for someone who has long hair. The kitchen sink had a similar issue. So basically only one person of four was able to take a shower. Additionally, there was no actual firewood in the house, twigs or paper to create a fire in the fireplace. Overall an expensive not so great experience. When I contacted the property owner about my concerns and requested a partial refund I received no response whatsover. I will be contacting my credit card company

Unpredictable
Reservation was cancelled the morning of our arrival, requiring us to scramble to find accomodations while we were on the road. Property looked nice but this was not responsible management and left us in a tough spot. Review above requires me to comment on aspects of "the stay" I couldn't actually evaluate (cleanliness of property, accuracy of listing) and I rated those areas as 3 by default.
Our stay was very pleasant with close proximity to Waterbury downtown. We love the area with beautiful foliage! The house was packed with everything we needed during our stay.
We really had a good time at this house. It looks so authentic and cozy. And we found everything we need there(From towels to kitchen utensils). And its really close to ski resort . We totally enjoyed our time there and would strongly recommend it.
