About this house rental
Situated in Waitsfield, this attractive house for £233 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS NOT AN IDEAL HOUSE FOR PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE NEGOTIATING STAIRS , I SUGGEST YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PICTURES. THE REST IS ALL GOOD NEWS. Waitsfield is a great place to bring your family, friends and dogs ... wide open spaces, fresh air, outdoor activities, winter or summer, all within a few hours drive from all of New England and the tri-state area. The Snow's Nest is about 2.5 miles from the center of Waitsfield village, where you can find everything you need but still separate yourselves. There are walking trails, canoeing and kayaking, biking, antiquing, farmers' markets, artisanal local foods and fooderies including the Von Trapp (yes, that Von Trapp) dairy farm and store, sporting events, etc. This is our one and only property we list, we are owner/manager, you are renting our home, we work with you on a personal level.. Play , eat , sleep. Relax and reconnect, with yourself, with family, with nature. Change your venue, refresh, recharge, regress ... We have everything you reasonably need. Just pack your clothes, pick up some groceries and you're all set. The house is fully equipped, not only with necessities, but with books, games, videos, toys, kitchen gear .... Three good-sized bedrooms sleep six, two bathrooms, air conditioning, large rear deck with with a full retractable awning, covered front porch, 3.5 acres with a vernal pond at the end of a mown path. Apple trees, pear trees, blueberries and wild blackberries ... We are just off the iconically picturesque Common Road east of town. Views to the west. Please look at the pictures, as they say it all, it's very livable. Our home is designed for YEAR ROUND fun and relaxation. Open floor plan, warm tones, radiant heat floors, gas-burning fireplace. Appliances include gas stove, d/w, microwave, full w/d. You can easily stay for a weekend, a week or a month. This house has been continually upgraded every year since we bought in 2008. New in the past 12 months ... brand new patio furniture in fall of 2022 and a lot more. We offer streaming fiber optic Internet with WIFI for your own computer. And of course a huge ass TV monitor. YOUR CHILDREN AND FLEA-FREE, WELL-BEHAVED PETS* ARE WELCOME. Please clean up after your dog/s. If you must smoke, outdoors ONLY please, and dispose of butts appropriately. Please check the calendar for available dates. And get in touch with us. We respond to phone calls or emails, and we want to work with you. You don't make a commitment if you just want to ask a few questions! * No Akitas, wolfdogs, Chow Chows, Presa Canarios, or pit bulls. Our insurance prohibits these five breeds. Mutts are fine. :-)

So much to love about this property!
The house is surrounded by lush landscape plus acreage our son could explore with the dogs. While there is plenty of privacy, nearby neighbors keep you from feeling totally isolated. The expansive deck served as a gathering space for morning coffee, reading, napping, yoga & family meals. The owner provides everything you could need to feel at home along with helpful notes and instructions.
As former residents of the Mad River Valley, we chose this property for its proximity to all of our old haunts (shops, eateries, swimming holes, mountain biking & hiking trails). Everywhere you’d want to go is a scenic 10-15 minute drive through a Vermont postcard. Waitsfield Village is just minutes down the road. If you don’t mind hill climbs, you can adventure by foot or bike right out the door.
We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, cozy, clean and convenient house! The view from the deck is wonderful! The pictures from the website don’t do the place justice, really!
The communication with the owner was great. Especially about the muddy roads at this time of the season. As she told us beforehand, we were able to rent a car accordingly. The small towns around are cute and we found everything we needed. Very nice people everywhere. The theater at Waitsfield was a great family experience! A lot of beautiful all level trails. We definitely loved Vermont!!

Adorable, clean cabin conveniently located to sugarbush, mad river Glenn and (a little farther out) Stowe.
Mad river valley has a great local food scene with Waterbury, Waitsfield, and Warren all within range. Love the von trapp farmstead just down the road from the house as well.
Thank you Sheila for a great stay!!

The first thing that we noted when we got to the house was that there were dead flies all over the floor. This was especially concerning as our dogs were with us and we didn’t know if a bug killer had been used to kill the flies. The house was also lacking stair railings and had tripping hazards at thresholds which was a major concern for my father with mobility issues. The bedroom that is listed as two twins that can be converted to a king needs a very heavy dresser to be moved in order for that to occur. The location of the bedrooms and bathroom were also precarious and caused concern for falling down the stairs in the middle of the night. We paid quite a bit for a 3 night stay and are sorely disappointed with what we got for our money.

Super cozy house in a quiet spot - huge deck, comfy beds & living spaces, fast internet, well equipped kitchen. Owner is very helpful and responsive. Appreciate that it's dog-friendly, and all the games, books, DVDs, etc.

Very convenient to Waitsfield. Overall, even better than the photos- the sizable deck has updated furniture and a nice view. The large, electric awning is handy for rain and afternoon sun. Very clean inside and out. Nicely landscaped. We were there during a hot summer week and the air worked well. Gorgeous area to drive around

The town of Waitsfield lies in one of the most beautiful valleys I have ever seen! I love the farms and the mountain meadows, and the awe-inspiring peaks! The Snow's Nest is perfectly situated in the middle of it all. It is immaculate, and the 2 acres surrounding the house lend themselves easily to peaceful walks. The owner is accessible and thoughtful; all that we needed to know was explained thoroughly. Our adult children spent 2 days with us, and everyone felt that they had plenty of elbow room! A most enjoyable, quiet respite! I would absolutely return!!

From start to finish, our experience in renting this property was five star! The owner was always prompt with her replies and provided plenty of information regarding the property and area. My husband and I, our teen daughter and our 100 pound lab mix were all very comfortable here and the location can not be beat with views of Sugarbush! The layout of the house was perfect for our family and the walking paths on the property were great for the dog. You will not be disappointed if you stay here - best features were the very comfortable beds and the wonderful deck with a view, especially for sunsets. Overall, a great place to stay in The Valley!

Really enjoyed the property, Sheila made it easy, and the location and views were terrific. Clean and comfortable. The evening on the deck as the sun were setting were greatly appreciated. The deck awning was great for the warm days. Very much enjoyed exploring Vermont and the little spots along the Mad River, including hiking at Mad River Glen.

My family had a great stay in waitsfield. The house was quiet and private, while close to amenities in town. The kitchen was well equipped, and our kid enjoyed the books and toys. We also enjoyed the huge deck and the berry picking on the paths outside.
The house was very comfortable overall.
I would definitely stay again! My only suggestion would be darker shades on the windows in the bunk room - it was hard to make it dark enough in there.
