A great place to stay, to play in the winter.

We had a wonderful time and it didn’t hurt that it snowed every day. Everyone in my group raved about the house. The layout, the kitchen, the breakfast nook, the great views, the fireplace, great wifi, awesome showers, and so much more. A surprise bonus was a 2 car garage…a very nice surprise because it snowed every day. Over 6 days, My group skied the Catamount trail, from Trapps to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. We couldn’t have been in a better place to make that happen. Lastly, the host was very prompt, helpful, and pleasant with communication.

Amazing stay at the Idlewild House in VT

We had a wonderful stay at the Idlewild House for skiing and enjoying the holidays. The house is on a beautiful property, was incredibly clean, and had plenty of space and everything you would need. It also has the most character of any VRBO we've ever stayed which made it even more special. The location was great with a 20 minute drive to ski Stowe and less than 10 minutes to enjoy downtown. Allison is also a great host and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend staying at Idlewild for anyone visiting the area.

The literary genius

Had no idea what a special home this was until we walked into it. We were in Vermont for a wedding (which had a very busy, 3 day itinerary), so was just looking for a place that could sleep 8 people. What a pleasant surprise to find a place that revolved around books and authors. Loved the themed bedrooms, all the books, the coffee cups and the quotes. Such a charmingly decorated home. Everything so well organized and easy. And even though we were very busy and the events we attended went into the wee hours of the morning, we just couldn’t resist the calling of the sitting area in the back yard to gaze at the stars. What a magnificent view! This house is a gem for sure!
