My husband and I like to leave the South Carolina heat and humidity in August and head north to Stowe. It’s always a gamble to rent something you can only see on the internet, but this year we hit the jackpot, to say the least! It was such a winner that we have already booked it for August 2020. Our two children/spouses and two grandchildren visit at some time during August, so much of what we look for in a property has to do with their visit. I won’t repeat what all the other reviews have said because we totally agree and can find no faults. However, I will say it was a great space (inside and out) for all ages. Because of the covered part of the rear patio we ate all meals outside and at other times could relax while little ones burned off energy in the wonderful green space. I will also add the It is a beautiful neighborhood with lovely neighbors. Finally, Allan and Nancy are great hosts who take this seriously. They have prepared their property with an eye at offering a top-notch experience for the renter and hats off to them for all the preparation, including the details they share about the house and Stowe and the very discreet message that they value your business and hope you will treat the property with love and care. The only other thing I can add is that this home has truly spoiled us for any other Stowe property!

We loved this spacious and well appointed home with plenty of room to spread out (both inside and out) for our family group. The kitchen is well stocked with every utensil, pot and pan, and serving piece imaginable. Great outside deck/patio with grill and outdoor seating, large lawn, and beautiful views of the mountains. Quiet neighborhood with options for running/walking/mountain biking without traffic. Easy drive to town or the shops/restaurants on Mountain Road. The owners were lovely to deal with and very communicative and helpful. We will definitely return to this property when we visit Stowe again!

Nancy and Allan's home was a fantastic home base for our 3 families to gather for a short ski vacation. We had 6 adults, 4 teenagers, and a baby, and the house gave us ample room to gather and roam after our ski outings. We particularly enjoyed the gourmet kitchen, where we made breakfast each morning and one dinner feast for the whole crew. There were plenty of spices and kitchenware for us to take of advantage of, and even little treats (chocolates, gummies, Prosecco) that our hosts provided to make the vacation the whole package down to the last touch. We enjoyed having at least a bathroom each for each family; no waiting lines! We also enjoyed several hours in the game room playing ping pong, board games, and TV watching on the spacious wraparound couch. Nancy and Allan are very responsive hosts and did not leave us hanging with any questions unanswered. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

When I first saw the property on VRBO, my wife, son and I fell in love with the photographs of the exterior and interior of the house. Imagine our surprise when we saw the house in person, and loved it even more than what we had seen in the photographs! Location: The house is beautifully located at the top of a large opening from which we could see the mountains, the most beautiful sunsets and the midnight mist clearing through the mountains as the sun rose. It inspired me enough to buy paints and start painting again after twenty years! Locationally, it is next to a beautiful stream where my son and I spent several afternoons just sitting and getting wet. It's right off Moscow Road, so it's right between the main thoroughfares of Stowe. All convenience stores are within a ten minute driving distance, and the neighbors are extremely friendly. Most importantly, we felt safe and welcome there. Exteriors: The house is built tastefully, and with a lot of practical wisdom by an architect who is passionate about construction. He took his time to build the house but you can see that it's a product of love for him. From the edgy two tone house, to the way the water flows when it rains, off the rooftop, to the parking driveway, and to the sitouts in the front and in the back, everything is done with a strong, innate, and aesthetic sense of Vermont. Interiors: I can safely say that everything in the house is top notch. From the quality of the wood in the roof, to the window sills, to the bathtub, showers, dining table, multiple chairs and sitting areas, the beds in all the bedrooms, the walk-in closets in the master bedroom, the air-conditioning setup, the blinds on the windows, and the accoutrements on the window sills, the house spells, "taste." Also, the grille was a great add-on along with the owners' collection of utentils in a fully-stocked kitchen and pantry - you know that you were in a gourmet's home. Services and others: The gardening was done on time, and everything was well managed. The cleaners were easily available to come during the week if we needed any extra help. The garage was also spacious to fit in two large cars. The best part is that the owners are very helpful, responsive and caring. If there is a house that we could consider living in again in Vermont, this would be it. I wish the owners all our thanks for making this one of the most memorable summers we have had by sharing their beautiful home with us.

The photos do not do this home justice. It's simply stunning. We just returned from a long weekend at their home. Six adults and one teenager. The house was perfect. Open floor plan, chef's kitchen, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, the garage is even heated!!. The owner's are fantastic and return emails, and phone calls immediately. They have gone out of their way to make sure every detail is taken care of. Their ski rental recommendation saved us hundreds of dollars! We use homeAway at least once a year and this by far is one of the best rental experiences we have ever had. I can't say enough about the home and the owner's. If you are heading to the Stowe area, this home should be on the top of your list!

We rented this house with another family. There were 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The house accommodated us perfectly - with plenty of inside and outside space to spread out. The Kitchen is very large and is fully stocked with all the supplies you would possibly need. The house is beautifully furnished and is very clean. We enjoyed sitting on the flagstone patio and admiring the view. Our kids loved walking the short distance to the river to hang out in the water. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a high-end and spacious house in a beautiful setting.

I just spent a long weekend at this exquisite home with my wife, teenaged son and four of his friends. This is a magnificent home. It is large, comfortable, and incredibly well designed and built. There is a gourmet kitchen and a spacious dining table for foodies, and also plenty of room for family and friends to either congregate or retreat for some R&R. While it is not "ski on/ski off," it is well located in a small, charming development, convenient to town and to the mountain. The home has just about everything, is well appointed and absolutely SPOTLESS. The owners (Allan and Nancy) are charming, accessible, responsive and gracious hosts. Having stayed at several different places in Stove over the years, I can honestly say that this is the best. While it is not "inexpensive," you certainly get what you pay for. We are all looking forward to our next visit.

My family rented this home for the month of August and it was just amazing. Them home is no where near your typical rental home. It is stunning inside and out. There is so much room and lives so well. My favorite spot was the stone patio out back and watching the sunsets over the mountains. Elaine and Allan helped make the entire month a truly great experience, ThankYou!! See you Next Year

Three generations of my family found room for all their activities in this well-located, new, spacious, beautifully designed and impeccably maintained home near Stowe's manifold offerings: road and mountain biking, hiking, swimming and fishing are practically at the doorstep, and the morning walk to the Village along the river is a wonderful way to start one's day. The kitchen is a delight, the options for entertaining are plentiful, the house is easy to maintain, and there's plenty of room and privacy for all.
