This cozy, pet- friendly 2 bdrm apt. is nestled in the woods just 6 miles from Stowe Mt. Resort and 4 miles from Stowe Village and its Historic Main St. The apt is rustic and private and has its own entrance separate from the 5 bdrm home that it is attached to (also available to rent). Sitting overlooking a pond and amidst the hills below Trapp Family Lodge, the apt offers a peaceful escape that feels worlds away yet is close to all in Stowe. The apt is bright and cheery yet cozy. It is a simple space with a bedroom and bathroom located on each level. Each bedroom has views of the pond below. The kitchen/dining area is small and overlooks the back deck and pond as well. It feels like a little escape nook with nothing extraneous and everything you need for an escape. The full apt is open for use and has a separate and private entry from the attached residence. Happy to help with any questions via the app or via mobile text/phone. The home is set off of a dirt road which has 8 total homes. You will pass by a few but will only be able to see 2 once inside the house. The 8 homes share the community pond but there is typically little activity on it... making it a very peaceful place to sit and watch the wildlife. The house is surrounded by woods on most sides and there is very little activity on the dirt road... it is a peaceful haven but located very close to all in Stowe. There is enough parking for 2 cars for the apt guests and the parking is first come first serve... no specific spaces.
The surroundings of the house are really peaceful. The small kitchen and back deck were perfect to appreciate the summer evening. You will want to stay longer!
Communication was very efficient. Property was maintained and very nice!!!! Just a very few minor issues that we noticed. Being a connected rental and the door between being very thin, you could hear their dogs barking, the kids screaming, and then the adults talking. This could be an easy fix so both set of occupants could enjoy. We had to ârummage through things to find the kitchen towels (which were in the living room) and I didnât feel like they had a lot of basics like most rentals have. One nicely laminated âinstructionâ sheet would be nice. The faucets for the shower was on such a tiny piece of paper that we didnât even notice it until we left (two older people with not very good eye sight). There was a trick to getting warm water, so you will want to look for that piece of paper on the shelf in the bathroom if you want a warm shower. My husband had to stand on the bed to turn off the light for the ceiling fan at night. Both the light and fan were operated from the same switch. The ceiling fans were very, very dirty along with cobwebs in many of the walls. The location was nice and it met the basic needs, but we felt that some minor changes could really help.
Perfect place to stay for a wedding event at Von Trapp Resort. Only minutes away so we could come back and feed our dog dinner and let her out. Ideally located for all that Stowe has to offer! Very comfortable, well decorated and beautiful spot!
