About this property

Enjoy home away from home at the top of VT...Get away to the Jay Way Chalet!

Please feel free to inquire about additional guests and pets!

Enjoy your Vermont getaway at one of the original "Matterhorn Village" chalets! Take advantage of both traditional charm and modern updates located two minutes from Boutin's Mini Market (best beer and pizza in the area), five minutes from the Jay Country Store/Base Camp and Jay Village Inn, and a ten minute drive from the Stateside Base area parking lot. Enjoy all of this from your main (paved!) road location in Jay, providing easy in and out access to the property.

The Jay Way Chalet is spread over 2200 square feet of living space on two levels that can comfortably accommodate 11 individuals. A large entry way provides plenty of storage for boots, skis, bags, and coats; drop your belongings, and get settled in! Cozy up in the living room next to the pellet stove after a long day of skiing, or - for those with extra energy - launch into a competitive game of Foosball (Tornado Table), or Pop-a-Shot basketball, or test your mixologist skills at the wet bar. With two separate living areas, both equipped with large TVs (both with XFinity Cable), kids and adults alike can find a space to relax and unwind. For those who don't ski, or are skiied out, the nook upstairs also allows for catching the best of the day's rays. If you do find yourself having to catch up with the real world - high speed Comcast, a dedicated land line, 24" monitor, and wireless keyboard and mouse hookups allow you to drop your laptop and get some work done (sometimes a necessary evil!)

While we highly recommend an evening out at Base Camp or the Jay Village Inn, or picking up pizza and a growler from Boutin's, you also have the option to take advantage of a well-equipped kitchen to make a meal (or at the very least, prep your lunch or coffee before a day on the slopes). Features include new appliances in 2019, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, hand mixer, and all pots, pans, and utensils necessary to make a meal; in addition to basic condiments.

Four bedrooms, and three bathrooms (two renovated in 2019) allow for plenty of space for relaxation and rejuvenation. All bedrooms have ample storage space, memory foam or pillow top mattresses, plenty of spare linens and blankets, and space heaters and fans for added comfort during your stay. Both queen bedrooms also feature televisions that are smart enabled (please just remember to log out of your accounts before you check out). Bathrooms are equipped with plush towels and heated vents to encourage lingering in the steam!

Incredible stay at Jay Way Chalet!

We loved our trip to Jay and had such a fun time at the Jay Way Chalet! There were fun activities like the foosball table, Pop a shot game and fun board games. The house is lovely and fit our group of 10 perfectly. It was a quick drive to Jay Peak Resort and Liz and Ryan were such easy and kind hosts to reach out to. We can’t wait for our next stay at their beautiful and cozy home!

Great MLK Weekend at Jay Peak!

First off, the communication with the owners was great. Leading up to the weekend, we were exchanging messages about the weather and all doing a collective snow dance to ensure maximum fun on the mountain. The driveway was plowed when we arrived and the house entry instructions were very easy to follow. We were blown away by how cozy and functional this house was. There was a ton of space and a great kitchen for cooking our meals. Both the game room and the main living room were perfect for gathering together and playing games, with the pellet stove keeping us warm and comfortable in the living room area. There were convenient sources of heat in different rooms and all of the beds were very comfortable. The property is so well-suited for families, groups of friends, and dogs. We had 2 with us and they had an absolute blast, especially running around in the snow in the yard. The location is excellent; in nicer weather you could pretty easily walk to a sandwich/pizza shop and you could do the same with the Jay Country Store if you were feeling real ambitious. Either way, it is very convenient to the nearby Jay Village Inn (we had a great dinner here) as well as Jay Peak (we spent 2 full days on the mountain; would say that the drive is 10 mins maximum). The cherry on top was the adorable welcome basket waiting for us when we arrived along with a personalized card. There were local goods, snacks, handwarmers, etc. These are the types of touches that help to ensure that I will be back!

Cozy fun

We had a lovely time at Liz and Ryan’s. the house was wonderful, the beds were comfortable and the wood pellet stove was supper cozy. We had a restful visit and the kids had endless fun in the games room playing basketball and foosball. The closet full of board and card games were also lots of fun. The ski hill was nice too but sadly the weather was a bit warm snot that many ski slopes were open

Fantastic property for large get together!

We booked this property for a family holiday get together. This year‘s theme was Christmas baking. We booked exactly the right property! The kitchen is fantastic the cozy living room was great for movies and doing puzzles. The house sleeps 10 so comfortable. All of the extra touches to make it just like home are incredible. Liz and Ryan go out of their way to make your experience amazing. If you’re going to be in the Jay area, You need to book this property… You won’t be unhappy! We had a great weekend…

Simply delightful

I’ve traveled extensively, and from hotels to B&Bs, there are always little reminders that you aren’t home. Well, I can tell you that when it comes to all these little reminders, Liz and Ryan have thought of everything, and have undeniably nailed a true “at home” away from home experience. The space was attractively equipped, arranged, and furnished, for comfort and convenience. Describing the Chalet as “well appointed” simply doesn’t do it justice. Everything from the linens to the flatware were of superior quality. It felt like my family was house sitting for friends rather than staying in a rental property, and Liz and Ryan were easily accessible and were beyond helpful, offering excellent tips on local dining and attractions. Located just minutes from Jay Peak, I can honestly say the Chalet would offer more comfort than the resort. I would be hard pressed to name anything that was lacking, and I hope to repeat the wonderful family memories in the years to come!

Amazing Place to stay

We rented this cabin as a group of 9. The owner was extremely helpful and had lots of great suggestions of things to do! The area is great for relaxing, taking a trip to the nearby resort of town. Or even taking a day trip to Canada. Plenty of room and three beautiful bathrooms, a beautiful kitchen, and very comfortable sleeping arrangements. Rent this place… you won’t be disappointed.

Cozy ski weekend

Liz and Ryan did an outstanding job setting up the house for a great weekend at Jay peak, and they were readily available to answer any questions or resolve anything that came up! We loved staying at the Jay way chalet. The house, location, and amenities made for the perfect remote working/long ski weekend away. Our dog Levi loved how peaceful and calm it was for a nice relaxing weekend! The kitchen was fully stocked and we were able to cook just like we would at home all weekend. Plenty of room in the house for a large group, but cozy enough for just us and our dog. Liz and Ryan really thought of everything for this amazing ski house. We can’t wait for our next stay!!

Great home and location for Jay Peak vacation!

We wanted to try out a new mountain and chose Jay Peak because of the other options for kids besides skiing (water park, etc) as our group had 4 kids ages 2-8. This house was a perfect layout for 2 families. Comfy beds and sheets with a great kitchen and mud room for coming back from the mountain. The pellet stove was really cozy also. We will come back to stay anytime we visit Jay Peak in the future!

We had an incredible time at Jay Peak to ring in the new year!! Liz and Ryan were extremely responsive to all of our needs and even left nice treats for our arrival. The house was very clean and comfortable and perfect for our large group. Extra fun for the kids too with a room they could hang out and play games in.

The details made our stay special

This host provided homemade Christmas cookies at our arrival on December 21. That should illustrate the care this host takes in making guests feel comfortable. They were good cookies too! The other details that made our trip special: flannel sheets on comfortable beds; holiday decor including a six foot tree and lights; a well equipped kitchen that produced lasagna and damn good chili; extra towels in each of the three full bathrooms and warm rugs throughout the house. We were a group of six (one mother & four teenagers) with a dog. While the boys headed to the slopes ten minutes away, I enjoyed the community trails a mere two minute drive away. We will definitely return to the Jay Way Chalet when we return to Jay Peak.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Bierwirth

Ryan and Liz purchased what we now lovingly refer to as the "Jay Way Chalet" in 2017 after realizing how much money they spent booking last minute trips to stay (and eat, and drink) at the Jay Village Inn. While they thoroughly recommend a meal and a margarita at the JVI, they realized they were going broke on said margaritas and decided to invest in a piece of their own VT Paradise.

Four years later, Ryan and Liz (and new addition, baby Tucker) have made the move from the South Coast of MA to Vermont full-time, and look forward to hosting you and your guests from a much closer locale! We're here to make your Jay area experience as enjoyable as possible!

Why they chose this property

Ryan's New Years Resolution for 2017 was to own a house in Vermont by New Year's 2018 (dream big, right??) Liz was in the middle of planning their wedding (conveniently in Mid-January 2018 at Jay Peak), and trying to take grad school classes, and getting progressively more stressed while Ryan was dreaming big and bombarding her with listings.

This house was the first house that Ryan & Liz looked at, but boy did it need some work (we can share before photos with anyone who's got extreme curiosity). Liz said, I love the character, but no way. Multiple showings and one failed offer later, the price on the Jay Way Chalet had dropped to the point where another look was warranted. Six weeks later, we were closing on our piece of VT Paradise.

Four years and 87 projects later, we can't imagine having made any other choice.

What makes this property unique

Your hosts are local, meaning if you have questions, issues, or special requests, we're just a stone's throw away by Northern Vermont standards - in Derby, so also conveniently located to shops (we love Jay, but it can be challenging to run out and grab a replacement for something you forgot). We're also both avid skiers/snowboarders, as well as golfers, hikers, and bikers. Depending on the season you're joining us for, we're full of recommendations for how to keep busy/where to explore!

In addition, the house is located on one of the main roads in Jay (there are 3 paved roads in town), meaning you'll be able to get out of the house and to the mountain with ease (though in the winter, we do recommend snow tires/All Wheel Drive). In addition, the driveway is large enough for parking for multiple care (4-8, depending on how you park!). While being slope-side definitely has its benefits, condo parking for 2 cars with a large group can be a challenge!
