The views are stunning!
Sybille was a wonderful host, very communicative and genuinely eager to make sure we had a marvelous stay at Villa Ausblick. The house is AMAZING and provided everything we needed and more! I especially loved the children's playroom as it kept the grandbabies entertained and happy. We could not get enough of the fantastic views and the general splendor of the property. The amount of love and care the Kim's have put into this place shows in every detail. I highly recommend this spacious, comfortable, welcoming property for your stay. We definitely hope to return one day, perhaps during another season. I cannot thank you enough!

An oasis in the mountains
There are not enough words to describe how amazing Villa Ausblick is! Outdoor pool, porch, frog pond, tree house, green Mountain View’s and sunsets, you name it. Inside there are so many opportunities to keep busy or relax inside with cozy couches, a beautiful fireplace and games for young and adults. We especially appreciated just how organized and well labeled the home was. It was a fabulous vacation spot and we hope to visit again! Thank you!

Mountain oasis
We spent a wonderful week at Villa Ausblick with our children and grandchildren. The house was very well equipped and we had everything we needed to make our stay a success. The pool was wonderful, the grounds were beautifully landscaped, and the views were spectacular. There was plenty to do for our 4 and 6 year old granddaughters and lots of space to be together or spread out as needed. The location was peaceful and secluded on the top of a ridge, yet was very close to grocery shopping, restaurants and historic Waterbury. We loved the area. The owner was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again should we have the oppportunity.

Great wooded location and perfect for eating in and enjoying the view. Has it all and is very easy to spend a whole day just around the house. But if you leave, also very convenient to Burly, Stowe and Mad River Valley.

Great views in a very nice and spacious house
The house is great, just as described in the pictures. Kitchen was stocked with good cookware, everything was clearly labeled, bedrooms are all a good size, and common space was perfect for a group of 12. Hot tub was nice to have and overlooks a beautiful sunset at the end of the day. My group had a great stay, definitely recommend it.

Perfect Winter Vacation
Our winter stay at Villa Ausblick with extended family was great! The house was everything we expected it to be. It was well stocked, clean, spacious, and was appealing to everyone in our group. The location was perfect too, secluded enough to feel like we had elbow room and a short drive to Waterbury and Stowe to go out and explore Vermont. We will definitely consider returning next year!

Perfect vacation rental for any family
An absolutely beautiful home with wonderful floor plan at the end of a quiet dead end street. The owners have gone to great length to make available amenities that would appeal to any and all age groups. It was a weekend getaway, for my wife's family members. Will definitely try and return with my own kids and their spouses.

The most amazing property!
We are so thankful for a glorious week at Villa Ausblick! This is a children’s paradise (pool, rocks to climb, treehouse, pond for frog-catching, sandbox, hammock, swings, outdoor games, the list goes on!), and our kids had the best time! Peter and Sybille are also amazing communicators and checked in frequently throughout our week stay. Great location to Waterbury and Stowe! One of the best properties we have stayed at ever! Many thanks for a wonderful visit!

A holiday to remember
We rented this home for a thanksgiving family reunion. It was absolutely wonderful! Large screen TV for every football game you could want with a bar right near by and fooseball for kids. Also loved hot tub with spectacular views of the mountain, and a fire pit outside to enjoy the views without getting cold. Let alone all the area attractions. This house is the perfect getaway!

Beautiful and quiet location
The home was just as described and was in a very private location overlooking the mountains. Sybille was a very organized host and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Our family of 8 was very comfortable. The grandkids enjoyed the toys and outside area (though kids need to be closely watched near the sloping yard, pond and pool area.) Would definitely love to return another time!!!

About the host

I also serve as Board member on the Vermont Short Term Rental Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocate for fair STR regulations, educate members to become professional hosts and build community amongst many stakeholders.



Why they chose this property

"How Vacation Rentals Helped Me Buy My Dream Family Home" .... This podcast interview of owner Sibylle Kim tells our story: https://unlocked.libsyn.com/ep92-the-ultimate-lifestyle-business-with-sibylle-kim

We are East Coast city folks who love Vermont and its pristine Green Mountains. When our children were born, we decided to buy this dream vacation home allowing our family to have a wonderful, well-balanced 'double life'. We chose the Waterbury, VT location for its proximity to various ski resorts (Stowe, Sugarbush, Bolden Valley), great recreational and culinary offerings, and easy access to I-89.

What makes this property unique

VILLA AUSBLICK is a family-friendly sanctuary for discerning vacationers seeking mountain solitude. It is a very unique rental property that serves the varied needs of many different guests which could be a large, multi-generational family reunion or a group retreat coming together for a vacation, to celebrate the Holidays or a special life milestone (big birthday, engagement, wedding, baby shower, college commencement).

For our family VILLA AUSBLICK is simply the perfect place to tune out from our busy day-to-day life, reconnect with each other and nature. Once you arrive, you will understand.
