About this house rental

Welcome to Chestnut Lodge! A woodland entrance hides a stunning private escape! Atop a sweeping hillside meadow, Chestnut Lodge sits in a park-like setting and spectacular views of neighboring mountains. Nestled among 30 private acres of woodlands, hillside, and the West River; the lodge is far enough from the bustle of the resort ski areas but an easy drive to skiing, hiking, fishing, and everything the area has to offer. Nestled in a tranquil wooded setting, this spacious house offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, making it ideal for a peaceful getaway or an outdoor adventure.

Communication with the host was excellent. The property setting is private but near surrounding attractions. Everyone loved the pool. A great place to relax and enjoy the mountain views from the screened porch. Thanks Jordan and Tabitha!

My family has been renting properties through VRBO for a number of years and the Chestnut Lodge is one of our favorite places to date. There was plenty of room and then some for our boisterous group. We tried to take advantage of all the amenities. The pool was great to cool off in. The fire pit was a favorite for winding down at night and making s’mores. We had some great battles in the basement playing pool and throwing darts. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and the beds got thumbs up from everyone in the family. The Weber grill on the deck came in handy when cooking for a large group. We were within 30-35 minutes of everything we wanted to do. Super convenient location. Hopefully we get a chance to get back there in the not too distant future. Thanks again to Jordan and Tabitha for hosting us and for their hospitality. Cheers!!!
