Family winter break at Stowe
Had a great winter break while staying at this large vacation home with great views of the mountains and conveniently located to great skiing at Stowe. The house was perfect for our family group of 10. Very comfortable, well decorated and equipped for large family meals together, relaxing by the 2 operational fireplaces, and plenty of snowshoeing and sledding equipment. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, by far the easiest I/we have experienced. Great host, great place!family group of 10 groul

Wonderfully comfortable!
We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect for getting back and forth to Stowe to ski as well as dining out. The house is spacious and comfortable. Towels and bed linens are great quality which is not what you always find at rentals. The kitchen had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed cozy fires. Highly recommend!

Magical stay in Fall
What a great place for a Fall family get away. We had tons of fun in the backyard and despite the rainy weather were blessed by the lovely view of the pond surrounded by colorful trees. The house was perfect with several sitting areas and four spacious bedrooms. It was the perfect location close to Stowe yet convenient for day trips to other locations. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Great getaway even without snow
We went in the hopes of skiing but the snow didn’t cooperate as we’d hoped (one good day on the slopes is still a good day.) The house was super comfortable, snuggly beds, and really convenient to town and the mountain. Very well stocked for all your baking/cooking needs. A real gem!

Beautiful Home - Convenient Location
We loved our stay in Annette’s beautiful, roomy and cozy home! The size of the house was perfect for our annual family ski getaway. In addition to being minutes away from the ski resort, there was plenty of other things for our adult children and us to do. One day the “kids” even took advantage of the sledding hill and did some snowboarding/sledding. A few also went hiking through Wiessner Woods, which is right down the street. It was our first visit to Stowe and I do not anticipate it being our last! Thank you so much Annette for offering your home as a vacation rental!
