We needed space for 12 - 6 adults and 6 kids ages 7-9, and wanted to be as close to the mountain as possible. In that sense, this space was perfect. Nick was a good host and answered all questions in advance, including dealing with the errors in the listing he acknowledged were caused by Vrbo, not him. He was responsive to the issues we experienced while there.

Was everything I expected and more. Perfect location with privacy yet very close to the mountain and local stores. Will stay here again.

Great size, love the layout. There were 6 adults, 4 children and we had plenty of space. Kitchen was well equipped. Wonderful fireplace and great quality wood. Created fabulous memories for us.

We all had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Great place for an extended family reunion. we had 15 of us on the 3 levels comfortably all ages from 1 year old to 82!... The hot tub was perfect for grammy and the kids. The older kids loved the heated pool and the adults liked playing tennis.. it was a central location.. some hiked Sterling trail, others biked the Smugglers notch, others went to Burlington and also boating on lake Champlain. Nice back deck for BBQ and saw Smugglers fireworks from the front deck. Nice fire pit for the teens.lot of grassy area . all in all a perfect spot to have your family here in one place. Our family and extended family stayed here as my daughter was married at Boyden Farm and Winery... this was a perfect spot to stay and go back and forth. Scott the property manager was always prompt with any issues. I only wish we could have brought our dog...he would have loved your place. When I first inquired, one of the 3 owners said yes, then said no after checking with his partner. The 3 owners need to be more in unison with each other and use Scott more as a liaison to the renters. Scott was very helpful to us and checked on us the following day after we checked in. All in all this is a great place to have extended family for a wedding at the Boyden barn!! Even guests from out of state were amazed at this beautiful; setting... You really have a beautiful chalet ..thank you for letting us enjoy ourselves for the week.

This property is just a great all around set up for a large group as we had (24 of us fit very comfortably). the main house clean and cozy, but the deck/hot tub/pool and overall ground were the best part since the weather was spectacular. the firepit a wonderful touch. didn't make it to tennis courts but only because we had a ton of other activities. the manager was kind enough to mail some personal items back to us free of charge, so all-in-all this was a first class experience. highly recommend!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful property with us. Our group of 24 traveled from multiple spots in the US to enjoy the estate. In addition to the endless lawn space, pool, hot tub, saunas, fire pit, mountain views and tennis courts, this property had all of the amenities needed for a enjoyable long weekend. Between the three houses, there was more than enough room to comfortably host a large group whether it is family or friends. Close to Smugglers Notch, Stowe and Burlington. The owners and property manager were a pleasure to work with and they went out of their way to make sure our group had everything needed. If you are looking for a great northeast getaway, I highly recommend this property for any time of year. Can't wait to go back!

Our large group of family friends including a dozen teens, spent July 4 weekend at this rental. We have traveled together to various locations in the NE for hiking, photo gathering, sightseeing and tennis. We enjoyed our entire weekend in the Stowe/Smugglers area and this rental was a great centerpiece for our time together. Our high points were the privacy of the property (we rented all 3 units), cleanliness, hot tub, fully stocked kitchens, tennis court and fire pit. The house provided plenty of firestarter and firewood. The swimming pool is really great as well, but we chose not to heat it and that was our own mistake (advice for prospective renters: if you expect to use the pool, consider heating it to make it more comfortable). We had some issues with the wifi, but I think those should be fixed by now. Beautiful views and easy access to hiking. Stowe just a short drive away. Thanks to Nick and Christina!

Thank you so much for this amazing rental. We rented both sides and had family members from 7 months to 73. All had a great time! We hardly left the property.. there was so much to do. The days we did leave we did the toll road to the top of Mansfield (10 minutes away) and the adults did the canoe trip to the winery. The pool is perfect and the hot tub was great for the older set. The deck was a great spot for full family dinners. The kitchens had everything we needed and the houses were big enough that everyone had plenty of fun together, but also time for themselves. We are already planning our trip back next year.

Our group of 8 adults and 7 children had a fantastic stay at this chalet. It isn't overly fancy, but is very clean and super cosy. The stone fireplace was a big hit; who doesn't love coming home after a full day on the slopes to a roaring fire? It is also the best stocked chalet/condo we have ever stayed in; there was plenty of cleaning products, dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. A great place to stay.

We stayed here for a full week with our extended family including a number of children. It was a great place and we would highly recommend this to anyone with a large group. The facilities were clean and comfortable with easy access to the mountain. The mountain was barely a three minute drive. We definitely plan on coming back! Also, the caretaker was great. He handled any issue that came up!

We went with a group of 11 couples for a ski weekend and had a wonderful time! The house is in a beautiful setting, spacious, and clean. It is a very easy walk (under 10 minutes) to the Smuggler's Notch ski area. I agree with a previous reviewer -- highlights included the location, view, hot tub, laundry rooms, saunas, space, fireplace, privacy. I'd also add well-equipped kitchens. The wifi was not working while we were there, but the owner was very responsive and helpful.

We had the pleasure of staying here with two other families (6 adults/8 children). There was plenty of room for all, including our ski gear. The unit was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Highlights: proximity to Smugglers Notch, mountain views, hot tub, on-site laundry, plenty of hot water, sauna, second play/living area for the kids, fireplace with plenty of wood, quiet location. No negatives. We would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the pool.

My friends and I had a very comfortable and relaxing weekend away at this well appointed Chalet. It was secluded and quite, just what we wanted coming from New York City and Boston. The Chalet was very well appointed and with the most amazing swimming pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away and hope to return again some day for more rest and relaxation.

My extended family rented out the 5BR side for a 5 day vacation to get together and enjoy the great outdoors in the green mountains. We had a great time and the estate was everything we could have asked for. We had a great time at the pool and surrounding areas. The Stowe bike path was great, as well as the Ben & Jerry's factory and the Jeffersonville farmers market had tons of local food, arts and crafts to choose from. Being so close to Smuggs we also got to check out their comedy show and hypnotist at night while the in-laws watched the kids! We had a great time and will definitely look to rent again next summer! Checking out the other reviews I just wanted to state we saw no mice droppings, and had no issues with the property. It may have some "dated" wallpaper but everything was in good working order, and I was not concerned for the safety of my 3 small children (4,3 and 1yo). We brought our own pool toys and bikes and would not expect a rental to provide this as it can be an issue with insurance these days. (I have owned vacation rentals myself so know first hand.) Thanks Nick and Christina!

14 people for a family reunion rented both sides of the big house. Beautiful private grounds with exceptionally clean pool (someone came every third day to clean) and we'll maintained tennis courts. BBQ and charcoal grill worked perfectly. It was nice to have both to cook for 14 people. Madonna (larger house with bigger master) is very dated but comfortable. Sterling side is beautifully decorated making it quaint and comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen (cups/playes/mugs/utensils). Fireplaces inside made for cozy fires and outside pit is a plus for Smores. (Although tree branches are very close to the fire pit so beware of stray flames) Incredibly private setting at a great rental price for Smuggler's Notch. We are planning on extending our family reunion from a long weekend to an entire week next summer. We loved the zip lining, hikes, Gondola up Stowe and the restaurant The Family Table. ( all within 5 miles of the house).

Our large family with kids of various ages stayed at Sterling House last week-from August 10 to August 15. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with this place and what it had to offer! The space around the house looked clean and the grass was neatly trimmed. As we took a walk around, we discovered that the swimming pool was safely fenced and its water was clear and warm. Playing at the tennis court was another opportunity for the kids to be safe and have fun. The interior of the house was also well designed and super clean. The kitchen was spotless and fully stocked, with the brand new refrigerator and dishwasher. We cooked dinner and had barbecue, since the grill was provided at the porch. In the evening we made s'mores and gathered together in this cozy living room. The large dinning room table had plenty of space for us to eat inside and simultaneously enjoy the spectacular views this place has to offer. The large patio was also an opportunity for us to enjoy our morning coffee while looking at the beautiful scenery. All the rooms were spacious, clean and stocked with clean linens and towels. The places around have to offer a variety of activities for grown ups and kids. The famous Smuggler's Notch Resort is located right across the street. We also visited 158 Main Restaurant & Bakery, located 5 minutes away---we highly recommend its Blueberry Pancakes and exceptional Eggs Benedict. As a mother of 6 year old, 4 year old and a 3 month old baby, I was primarily concerned with safety of my kids and cleanliness I was going to find here. I might say that my expectations were exceeded and we enjoyed our stay. My older nieces and nephews had fun and were impressed with this place as much as their parents were. I highly recommended this place to my friends and more family. We can't wait to come back here during the winter time and enjoy the fire place and the sauna.
