Great stay for extended family get together

This is a beautiful location and the layout of the house lends itself perfectly for extended family get togethers. The view is 100% green mountains with no structures in sight and a clear line of sight to camel’s hump. The hostess clearly communicated and very responsive to any questions.

Experiencing the beautiful night sky is yet another benefit of Villa Ausblick's exclusive location without any light pollution. On a cloudless night you can discover known star constellations, the Milky Way, and shooting stars. It's totally worth installing a star gazing App for that!

Excellent home for a family getaway...

Great views in a very nice and spacious house

The house is great, just as described in the pictures. Kitchen was stocked with good cookware, everything was clearly labeled, bedrooms are all a good size, and common space was perfect for a group of 12. Hot tub was nice to have and overlooks a beautiful sunset at the end of the day. My group had a great stay, definitely recommend it.

Perfect Winter Vacation

Our winter stay at Villa Ausblick with extended family was great! The house was everything we expected it to be. It was well stocked, clean, spacious, and was appealing to everyone in our group. The location was perfect too, secluded enough to feel like we had elbow room and a short drive to Waterbury and Stowe to go out and explore Vermont. We will definitely consider returning next year!

Perfect vacation rental for any family

An absolutely beautiful home with wonderful floor plan at the end of a quiet dead end street. The owners have gone to great length to make available amenities that would appeal to any and all age groups. It was a weekend getaway, for my wife's family members. Will definitely try and return with my own kids and their spouses.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
Thank you! The funny thing about this vacation home is – it has more and better amenities than our primary residence! For example, who owns an electric griddle large enough to simultaneously produce 10 pancakes? It comes in very handy when you have to feed breakfast to an army of hungry kids!

We are so thankful for a glorious week at Villa Ausblick! This is a children’s paradise (pool, rocks to climb, treehouse, pond for frog-catching, sandbox, hammock, swings, outdoor games, the list goes on!), and our kids had the best time! Peter and Sybille are also amazing communicators and checked in frequently throughout our week stay. Great location to Waterbury and Stowe! One of the best properties we have stayed at ever!

A holiday to remember

We rented this home for a thanksgiving family reunion. It was absolutely wonderful! Large screen TV for every football game you could want with a bar right near by and fooseball for kids. Also loved hot tub with spectacular views of the mountain, and a fire pit outside to enjoy the views without getting cold. Let alone all the area attractions. This house is the perfect getaway!

Beautiful and quiet location

The home was just as described and was in a very private location overlooking the mountains. Sybille was a very organized host and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Our family of 8 was very comfortable. The grandkids enjoyed the toys and outside area (though kids need to be closely watched near the sloping yard, pond and pool area.) Would definitely love to return another time!!!

Villa Ausblick Family Vacation

Villa Ausblick provided the venue for a fantastic family vacation ! We wanted a house set in Vermont with nearby activities for our family to gather together including our grown children and partners with our 4 grandchildren . The home far exceeded our expectations. This is a special place! The property is incredibly well maintained and organized, the view is spectacular, and the owners very accommodating.

About the host

Hosted by Sibylle Kim

Host profile image
With my native Southern German roots I feel very connected to Vermont's beautiful green mountain landscape and it's amazing hardworking people. As a former clinical researcher I found my true calling in the short-term rental sector by providing our guests a welcoming space to come together to build lasting memories.

I also serve as Board member on the Vermont Short Term Rental Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocate for fair STR regulations, educate members to become professional hosts and build community amongst many stakeholders.



Why they chose this property

"How Vacation Rentals Helped Me Buy My Dream Family Home" .... This podcast interview of owner Sibylle Kim tells our story: https://unlocked.libsyn.com/ep92-the-ultimate-lifestyle-business-with-sibylle-kim

We are East Coast city folks who love Vermont and its pristine Green Mountains. When our children were born, we decided to buy this dream vacation home allowing our family to have a wonderful, well-balanced 'double life'. We chose the Waterbury, VT location for its proximity to various ski resorts (Stowe, Sugarbush, Bolden Valley), great recreational and culinary offerings, and easy access to I-89.

What makes this property unique

VILLA AUSBLICK is a family-friendly sanctuary for discerning vacationers seeking mountain solitude. It is a very unique rental property that serves the varied needs of many different guests which could be a large, multi-generational family reunion or a group retreat coming together for a vacation, to celebrate the Holidays or a special life milestone (big birthday, engagement, wedding, baby shower, college commencement).

For our family VILLA AUSBLICK is simply the perfect place to tune out from our busy day-to-day life, reconnect with each other and nature. Once you arrive, you will understand.
