About this property

Sugarbush + Mad River Glen Modern Mountain Retreat

Welcome to our secluded mountain modern retreat, where you don't even have to leave our property for adventure! In addition to our own spring-fed pond and bonfire pit, our home backs directly to an exclusive stretch of the Mad River perfect for winter hiking, sledding, snowshoeing, and other snow activities. Our land is also adjacent to 120+ acres of Vermont Land Trust forest that is yours to explore in private!

Our four-bedroom country home is perched high in the mountains and offers contemporary furniture/finishes and clean, open design. It can sleep up to 10 adults, yet we love that the home is also designed perfectly for a couple or a smaller group looking for Green Mountain peace and quiet.

The long and windy driveway (always promptly plowed by our caretaker) ends and the trees open up to 7+ acres of completely private lawn, spring-fed swimming pond, and woods with uninterrupted views of the Green Mountains. The home's indoor spaces are bathed in natural sunlight, but we recommend taking advantage of the front porch, back deck with seasonal gas grill, and screened three-season room to enjoy the outdoors without needing put on any shoes.

From the oversized two-car, floor-heated garage and ski storage area, you'll enter the mud room, which leads to an open-concept living space. Offering a spacious kitchen, we have all the appliances and tools you'll ever want...copper farm sink included. Choose to dine at the breakfast bar or perch the kids up there and set a nice tablescape in the dining room for the adults! Later, you can lounge by the fireplace and TV in the great room with your family and friends.

***We look forward to hosting you and your family and friends. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions that you have.***

Upstairs, you can retire to any of the four bedrooms:

SUGARBUSH ROOM
If you've skied it, you know why we named the Master Bedroom after this famed resort. Here, you'll find a comfortable king bed and cozy fireplace with reading nook. The master bath is complete with a sumptuous soaking tub and distant mountain views to boot.

MAD RIVER GLEN ROOM
A cozy and inviting design with warm wood furniture and a luxurious woven leather rug. Here, you'll find a queen bed that sleeps two. Two closets in this room allow you to unpack and feel right at home during an extended stay.

STOWE ROOM
A very comfortable room for two...or more. You'll find a comfortable queen bed as well as a fully set up crib for anyone looking to bring a baby up to the valley.

SMUGGLER'S NOTCH ROOM
A large and family-friendly room. Here, you'll find two twin beds that kids and adults will find very comfortable along with a full-sized futon as well. There are many games and also another big TV, so your group can split up and keep everyone satisfied when you can't pick a single movie to watch!

BATHROOMS (3.5 + outdoor shower!)
The home has a half bath on the living level, and two full baths on the upstairs bedroom floor (both with heated floors). The radiant-heated finished basement has another full, newly-renovated bathroom, but the space is otherwise completely open and unfurnished right now. We leave the basement accessible to guests so they can reach the utilities if need be, so you're welcome to use the bathroom and shower here too.

OUTSIDE
This is what makes our home especially unique. We own 7+ acres of land around the house, about half of which are cleared of trees and perfect for sledding and snowtubing! Our land backs directly to an exclusive stretch of the Mad River. The rest of our property is wooded forest for you to explore and hike, snowshoe, or other winter activities, and it abuts 120+ acres of the Vermont Land Trust's forest that contains beautiful flora, fauna, and small streams virtually inaccessible from anywhere besides our home.

Attached to the house itself, feel free to enjoy the covered front porch and screened-in three season room along with our back deck and gas grill. In the summer, don't dismiss the outdoor shower, which is perfect after a swim in our spring-fed pond! The bonfire pit is great for group gatherings and s'mores on the nights you aren't stargazing into the open sky! Please note that the pond is ~10 ft deep at the center, and you will be swimming at your own risk - no lifeguard present, of course.

It's better than letting us go on forever about the many different things that made us fall in love with this area. We also have a comprehensive area guide for the house if you'd like to simply relax and plan your days in the valley as you go!
