Our Stay in West Burke Vermont
The view was just amazing. This home is very comfortable, but we did run into some problems. When we arrived, we had to vacuum and sweep the main floor. Crumbs, dirt, and ants were all over. We didn't move the sofas but there was a lot of dirt under them. I am sure I paid a cleaning fee! The basement was very musty, and you could not sleep down there. That should not be considered a sleeping area. We did bring queen air mattresses, so we were ok. Dishwasher did not work. furnace was powered off so we could not use it. Coffee pot leaked coffee all over the counter. Refrigerators were dirty, silverware trays and cupboards were dirty and very disorganized. We had to first wash whatever we used from the cupboards. Sheets and towels were not included unless you paid a fee for them! We brought our own! Bathrooms and bedrooms were the only clean areas. Everyone had a great time, and we are not complaining but the home was not up to Vrbo quality. Renters should know! Not sure if anyone monitors these rentals but they should.

Excellent trip!
We were so fortunate to lock into this location after a previous reservation was canceled extremely last minute. We came for the eclipse, and the location was absolutely breathtaking for it! The views are incredible. The property is wonderful. It’s so quiet! Very, very very close to Burke Mountain for skiing, the home is very comfortable. A lot of beds. There is a bit of temperature issue in the bedrooms upstairs. One bedroom was very comfortable. The other got very hot until we turned the heat off. No A/C, but fortunately we didn’t need it. The basement room is a bit musty but very comfortable. Hot water is very limited so much so that running the dishwasher and one shower depletes it until it refills. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with just about every pot, pan, utensil, dish, bowl, knife you could ever need! Two fridges were extremely convenient! Dishwasher worked well and the garbage disposal and trash compacted were great perks. The host was extremely welcoming and generous and very quick with responding to questions. We definitely would stay again.

Unimpressed
This property is in a beautiful location. It has magnificent views of mountains and the sunset. The house however is a work in progress but for now is not suitable for families. The basement is musty with a dehumidifier that is not set up therefore we were not able to use the lower bedrooms. We improvised and squeezed into the 3 upper bedrooms. This caused additional confusion since there was a last minute change and the sheets were not included. There was some exposed wiring and limited hot water. The upper bath faucet had no hot water. Dining area was small for our group of 11 with one fridg not working properly so I am not sure how 18 could manage, yet beware of additional guest charges. With some care and updates i could see this being a nice place to stay

Environnement superbe, propriété qui a besoin d'amour
Beaucoup de tiques cette année, même dans la pelouse tondue, on n'a pas pu profiter de l'extérieur. Sous-sol de la maison sentant énormément l'humidité et le moisi, il y a une chambre que nous n'avons pas osé utiliser. Un film de poussière noire recouvrait toutes les surfaces à notre arrivée, nous avons nettoyé avant de s'installer. Mousticaires brisés, humidité ++ dans la maison. 2 matelats sans bases de lit, déposés Sur un autre matelat sale. Table de billard n'ayant pas de dégagement suffisant pour jouer, mais mini baguette fournie permettant de se débrouiller et de profiter du divertissement. Nous étions décus des installations, mais avons pu trouver notre plaisir qu'en même. Le propriétaire est sympatique et communique bien. Suffisamment de serviettes fournies. Apportez literie, sel poivre, huile etc... rien de fourni. Merci de votre prêt de propriété! Jessica

Beautiful View
Walls of glass - killer view is definitely the right way to explain it. The views of the ski slope were amazing. This house was just what my group needed. It was right on the snowmobile trail system and when we were at the house, we got to enjoy the view of the ski slopes, and the surrounding mountains. Matt, the owner, was so easy to contact. The house was spacious. You could either hang out in the great room with everyone, or you could find a quiet place to be on your own. We had a great time!

Big house for a team
House worked great for our team during a race series at Burke - and at the last minute. Plenty of room for 13 of us. We double bunked a few, but in the many king size beds, not an issue. Matt was very responsive with questions and check-in/out was very simple.

Amazing stay im Burke VT
This house was incredible. We had a group of 16, and it slept 18 easily in beds. It had a fantastic view of the mountains in Vermont, which gave us great morning views and sunset views in the evening. The sky's opened up and we had a great look at some meteor showers at night. Plenty of kitchen space and fridge space for a large group, and a billiards table is always a bonus! Matt was easy to talk to and accommodating. Even though I misunderstood the listing that said towels and sheets are extra, Matt was understanding and was easy to work with to resolve the situation. I would definitely go back, this is one of the best places I have ever rented. Highly recommend for a fun weekend away!

Fall mountain bike trip
This property was great! Matt the owner made sure our check in was smooth, the place had plenty of room for our large group. The views were breath taking especially with the fall colors. 5 minutes drive to the riding trails. We could have biked but it would have been a big hill at end of day. Happy we found this place and will definitely return in the future.

Gorgeous view and lots of beds
The view is stunning, situated one ridge away from Darling Hill. Sleeps a lot of people, just be prepared for sharing rooms if the house is full to capacity. The pool table was a hit and the grill works very well. I would saw driving to trail heads is not necessary but be prepared for a lot of dirt road climbs. Also BYO bedding.

Total Vermont beauty
We stayed here for four days over the 4th of July weekend. Matt the owner was wonderful to work with and check in and check out and all communications went very smoothly. the house sleeps plenty with many open areas to spread out, but there were only four of us so we had plenty of room. The house is beautiful and the view was everything we were hoping it would be. Nothing but peace and quiet and Vermont beauty all around. We spent all of our days outside under the trees where there was a cool breeze and plenty of room to play outside games. We were able to view the sun rising from the side of the house, the sun setting over the rolling corn fields in the back of the house, and the moon was rising in front of the house over Burke mountain. It was absolutely gorgeous! Matt suggested that we take a drive to lake Willoughby which we did and boy we were not disappointed! It was everything he said it would be and more. Obviously with social distancing we didn't stick around long because of all the people, but we were able to enjoy it for a bit and get some really beautiful pictures. The views from within the house are beautiful from every window. We were able to have fires each night out at the fire pit underneath the full moon. The pool table was the extra bonus and we had fun each night playing. We book through VRBO a lot and we will definitely be coming back to this little gem. Thank you again for everything Matt The Smarts

About the host

Hosted by Matt

Host profile image
My mom and dad loved Burke and the Northeast Kingdom. My dad was an Aeronautical Engineer at Pratt and Whitney—(A United Technologies (UTX) company). They searched for about two years for “a view”. In 1995 they located the prize property. He designed the home and construction began two years later. He designed and oversaw the construction of the house you are considering renting.

Why they chose this property

The house was built with 360 degree views. Northern winters and western winds necessitated the planting of 250 trees on the west side for a windbreak. The trees are now about 40’ tall and protect the house. The house is about one mile off Rt 5, five miles from Burke Mountain and seven miles from Exit 22 on Rt. 91. At the top of the paved (yes that’s how the locals knew my parents were “flatlanders”) 100 yard driveway there is parking for about 10 cars including two indoors under the house.

What makes this property unique

Should power go out, a full-house generator was installed in December 2012.
