IMPT NOTE: NOT AN IDEAL HOUSE FOR PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PICTURES.

There's been news reports about how picky VRBO owners are getting. We want potential visitors to know, we own one property, we care about your vacation experience, we are available and responsive.

Waitsfield is a great place to bring your family, friends and dogs ... wide open spaces, fresh air, outdoor activities, winter or summer, all within a few hours drive from all of New England and the tri-state area.

The Snow's Nest is about 2.5 miles from the center of Waitsfield village, where you can find everything you need but still separate yourselves. There are walking trails, canoeing and kayaking, biking, antiquing, farmers' markets, artisanal local foods and fooderies including the Von Trapp (yes, that Von Trapp) dairy farm and store, sporting events, etc.

This is our one and only property we list, we are owner/manager, you are renting our home, we work with you on a personal level. It's not a cookie-cutter rental, it's our home.

Play, eat, sleep. Relax and reconnect, with yourself, with family, with nature. Change your venue, refresh, recharge, regress ...

We have everything you reasonably need. Just pack your clothes, pick up some groceries and you're all set. The house is fully equipped, not only with necessities, but with books, games, videos, toys, kitchen gear .... Three good-sized bedrooms sleep six, two bathrooms, air conditioning, large rear deck with with a full retractable awning, covered front porch, 3.5 acres with a vernal pond at the end of a mown path. Apple trees, pear trees, blueberries and wild blackberries ... We are just off the iconically picturesque Common Road east of town. Views to the west. Please look at the pictures, as they say it all, it's very livable. Our home is designed for YEAR ROUND fun and relaxation.

Open floor plan, warm tones, radiant heat floors, gas-burning fireplace. Appliances include gas stove, d/w, microwave, full w/d. You can easily stay for a weekend, a week or a month.

This house has been continually upgraded every year since we bought in 2009.

We offer streaming fiber optic Internet with WIFI for your own computer. And of course a large TV monitor, as well as another TV in the master.

YOUR CHILDREN AND FLEA-FREE, WELL-BEHAVED PETS* ARE WELCOME. Please clean up after your dog/s.

If you must smoke, outdoors ONLY please, and dispose of butts appropriately.

Please check the calendar for available dates. And get in touch with us. We respond to phone calls or emails, and we want to work with you. You don't make a commitment if you just want to ask a few questions!

* No Akitas, wolfdogs, Chow Chows, Presa Canarios, or pit bulls. Our insurance prohibits these five breeds. Mutts are fine. :-)

The house was very comfortable for us - two adults and a 30lb well behaved house dog. It was a perfect home base for our day trips and visits with friends. It's close to town (less than 10 mins) yet secluded enough to feel like the middle of nowhere. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed for a good stay, and the host was fantastic with excellent communication. We def hope to be back! Recommended.

Lovely home in the mountains

Loved our stay in the Green Mountains in this secluded house in the hills with beautiful views. Lots of stairs so keep that in mind but a nice and well kept home. Air conditioning not in all rooms but worked well in the ones that had them. It was unseasonably warm when we were there 4th of July week.

We had a lovely stay in Waitsfield. Communication was clear and thorough, and the house was perfect! Beautiful spot, close to downtown, and really delightful. Fun DVD collection, too! Specific to our trip, we had a great view of the solar eclipse.

Vacation like a local

So much to love about this property! The house is surrounded by lush landscape plus acreage our son could explore with the dogs. While there is plenty of privacy, nearby neighbors keep you from feeling totally isolated. The expansive deck served as a gathering space for morning coffee, reading, napping, yoga & family meals. The owner provides everything you could need to feel at home along with helpful notes and instructions. As former residents of the Mad River Valley, we chose this property for its proximity to all of our old haunts (shops, eateries, swimming holes, mountain biking & hiking trails). Everywhere you’d want to go is a scenic 10-15 minute drive through a Vermont postcard. Waitsfield Village is just minutes down the road. If you don’t mind hill climbs, you can adventure by foot or bike right out the door. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place in Vermont!

Beautiful, cozy, clean and convenient house! The view from the deck is wonderful! The pictures from the website don’t do the place justice, really! The communication with the owner was great. Especially about the muddy roads at this time of the season. As she told us beforehand, we were able to rent a car accordingly. The small towns around are cute and we found everything we needed. Very nice people everywhere. The theater at Waitsfield was a great family experience! A lot of beautiful all level trails. We definitely loved Vermont!!

Not as expected

The first thing that we noted when we got to the house was that there were dead flies all over the floor. This was especially concerning as our dogs were with us and we didn’t know if a bug killer had been used to kill the flies. The house was also lacking stair railings and had tripping hazards at thresholds which was a major concern for my father with mobility issues. The bedroom that is listed as two twins that can be converted to a king needs a very heavy dresser to be moved in order for that to occur. The location of the bedrooms and bathroom were also precarious and caused concern for falling down the stairs in the middle of the night. We paid quite a bit for a 3 night stay and are sorely disappointed with what we got for our money.

Very convenient to Waitsfield. Overall, even better than the photos- the sizable deck has updated furniture and a nice view. The large, electric awning is handy for rain and afternoon sun.
