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.

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.

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

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.

Great location! We were able to choose between multiple ski resorts with a 30 minute car ride. The house is exactly as described very cozy and relaxing. Highly recommend

The home itself was large and would be great for a large group. The description in the listing of the dated decor was spot on. If that doesn't bother you then this is a nice, large place to stay. Updated kitchen upstairs, laundry and several bedrooms/bathrooms. The view was great! The check-in process and communication could have been better. Usually check-in process/info is sent by owners days in advance, but we didn't receive it until about an hour before we were able to check-in and only after reaching out several times for the information before our arrival. This did cause a bit of stress prior to arrival. The house was generally clean with some cobwebs in parts, but overall we had a nice stay here.

Great ski weekend
We were a group of friends on a ski weekend. This was a great location, Waterbury had several good restaurant options. We skied Stowe Mountain one day and Sugarbush the other. The house was central to both.
We loved the retro house it was comfortable and accommodated our large group well.

Funky house, great location
We fit nicely in this big, quirky house. It was perfectly located 20 min to sugarbush and 2 min to Waterbury. Recommend a good deep clean tho. Things were not as clean and cobweb free as we would have liked.

This chalet is an awesome throwback to the 70’s with all modern comforts of the 21st century!
We had so much fun discovering all the different items in the house! Even the toaster from the 70’s still works! The views are awesome! We played games and danced all weekend! Thank you Tim for keeping this chalet in pristine condition despite its age. Will be back ! Great spot for a lot of ski mountains and half hour from BURLINGTON!

Terrific property to visit the Waterbury / Stowe area. Wonderful views, great deck, clean house, pool, plenty of activities, two kitchens, and plenty of open space. Would highly recommend.

Great house with a lot of character
We stayed here one night during our ski trip to Stowe. It was only 30 min away from the slopes and right next to a Shaw's grocery store. Had no issues with this place, Tim is a great host. Very dainty and unique atmosphere. "Retro" is indeed a good way to describe it. It's three stories and very spacious, perfect for large groups. We would recommend this place to anyone swinging by the area.
