Norwich Parent’s Weekend

This was a wonderful cabin for our family to stay in while visiting our son for Parent’s Weekend at Norwich University. The home is clean and cozy with a well stocked kitchen. There are 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor and 1 bedroom in the basement. There is one full bathroom on the main floor. We enjoyed the beautiful foliage, walks down to the Mad River, and grilling steaks on the deck. It was a perfect weekend! We hope to be back next year!

Great place to stay in the Mad River Valley!

This is our third time staying at this property and we love the house and surrounding area. The river access on property is a very nice feature. House is well stocked with essentials for your stay and Bryan has always been responsive. Would not hesitate to recommend staying here.

Leaf Peeping

Thank you Bryan for sharing your property! We very much enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described - we enjoyed using the well stocked kitchen for family dinners and waking up surrounded by the amazing Fall colors. The short hike down to the river was a great plus too! Thank you and hope to return!

Summer visit

A nice quiet and private property with fire pit, hammock, deck, grill and short walk down to a swimming hole. On hot days swimming hole can be busy since it's accessible from a park on the other side. I would just recommend going later in the day to avoid the crowds. Sugarbush glider rides are a short drive away, a very cool experience. Also close to the small village of Warren, the base area of Sugarbush and Waitsfield, all fun spots to visit. House was perfect for us in that there was only 3, but larger families may find it tight due to only one bathroom. And downstairs bedroom is nice but it is in the basement, and the escape hatch for emergencies probably should have some explanation. Overall we enjoyed the property and had a great week.

Wonderful Remote Enjoyment

Bryan's home was as advertised: Beautifully situated in a large private wooded area, which afforded us, and our dog, ample exploring opportunity. Mad River provided good swimming as well! The house provided every comfort, with a full sized deck and grill, a well-equipped kitchen, and easy open layout inside. Enjoyed the blueberries growing in the side yard as an easy-to-pick breakfast! While remote, we were never far from good restaurants and attractions. Great time!

Relaxing and enjoyable

The river house is a truly relaxing and enjoyable place to stay. Swim in the river, hike the Green Mountains, enjoy Waitsfield. Bryan’s house is a mad river valley gem. 2nd stay.

Loved our stay.

We loved staying here and had a great experience. Private and kid friendly were exactly what we needed. Comfortable beds, house full of amenities, close to a ton along the Mad River. We'll be back!

Can’t ask for more

Bryan - thank you so much for welcoming our family to your property. Nothing could have been better - from the location (incredible privacy with our own path and “spot” on the river but across from a park so lots of opportunities for the kids to play and make friends, minutes to both smaller kid friendly as well as more challenging hikes, and two awesome bustling towns with unique and independent eating and grocery spots), to the super clean but cozy and welcoming house designed with both convenience and warmth in mind, and finally Bryan’s experience, effort, and kindness as a host. Vacationing with young kids can have challenges, but those were forgotten on this trip and we were sad to have to come home. We’re already dreaming of next summer (or maybe fall, winter, and spring trips first!). Thank you again.

Place was perfectly as advertised

The house was awesome. Just the right amount of privacy but proximity to what we wanted to do. Mad River, Stowe, Burlington, etc. all within easy reach. Our two boys loved VT as much as we did. Had a quick question for Bryan and he responded in minutes. Can’t wait to come back soon. Thanks!

Great property!

We stayed here over a rainy 4th or July weekend and even though we were stuck inside, the house was great and our stay was perfect. The kitchen is perfect for people who enjoy cooking, the property is secluded so our dogs could run around safely, and when we did venture out of the house the people in town were super friendly. We definitely want to return again!

Peaceful hillside retreat

We had a delightfully peaceful stay in this cozy hillside house. Easy access to ski Mountains and town. Plenty of outside space to relax on deck and watch dog wonder up the hillside and down to river. Thank you for this COVID safe getaway to ski with family.

Wonderful time

The house was everything we hoped for. Great location, well stocked and as described in the pictures and reviews. Having our own trail to the Mad River was perfect. We spent hours at the swimming hole with the kids and dog. Would highly recommend to others.

Great little place overlooking Vermont's Mad River

We had the pleasure of staying in this cottage at the height of fall colors. Despite being prime tourism time, businesses in the area were easy to visit, the roads clear and were we were impressed by the friendly community atmosphere. Great farmers market and food and wine supplies in Waitsfield; the Warren General Store is charming. Plenty of hiking along the river & in the mountains suitable for all levels of experience. This cosy house met our needs for a central location and enough room for three adult friends to talk, cook, play card games and read. Bryan's sound system provided excellent background music. Great views are to be had in the main living space and master bedroom - both are perfect for slowing down to watch the leaves fall. The two other bedrooms (and the cubby hole) have lesser (or no) views to speak of, which was disappointing at such a beautiful time of year. In the end, it depends on what you want from your sleeping arrangements....for us, there was no equal choice between the rooms (something we need to pay more attention to for future rentals). There was plenty of hot water and the bath was fine for us; the heat came on readily when the weather turned colder. Bryan was readily reachable for any questions - thank you! Was glad to have directions on best way to navigate the driveway - worked like a charm. We were really pleased with our visit to the Mad River area.

A++. If your visiting the valley you should be staying here

The house was unbelievably stocked with everything you could need to have a great weekend. Board games, dishes pots and pans. The property is as Vermont as it gets. Looking forward to coming back when it’s a bit warmer to enjoy the swimming hole. Thanks for renting out such a cool place

Mountain bikers paradise

House is very clean, very comfortable and fully stocked with anything you may need. It is centrally located for great mountain biking. The best part is that there's a fantastic swimming hole with a rope swing four minutes behind the house. Local beef and cheeses for sale right down the road. I would highly recommend this spot and will definitely stay again.

Wonderful retreat. Very private but close to dining, swimming & hiking.

Lovely house in a very private setting. Everything that was listed but even better. Super clean. As noted, the driveway is very steep but our AWD wagon managed fine. Quick drive into Waitsfield for coffee at Sweet Spot and great dinners at American Flatbread and Mad Tacos.

just right!

Bryan's house was just right for our (2 adults but certainly could have accommodated another couple w/kids) 5 day trip to Mad River Valley. The property is beautiful, and also super convenient to Rt 100 and all that Mad River has to offer. The house is lovely, cosy and well stocked with the essentials. It was chilly weather during our stay, and the gas fireplace warmed the whole house right up when we got home in the evening. Bryan was a really wonderful, accommodating host. We will be back for sure!
