Our host was easy to communicate with and answered every question we had. The house is deceiving from the outside; the inside is quite spacious and would be able to accommodate more than the seven in our party. The beds were comfortable, the gas fireplace made it cozy and the distance to town was perfect. The house is close to Mt. Snow where we skied. There are lots of places to eat nearby. All in all a we had a great stay in West Dover.

Jeremy and his guests were great. Communication between Jeremy and myself was seamless. They were able to bring the garbage up the driveway and to the street which is always appreciated. They were courteous and respectful. They also appreciated the quiet surroundings on Buckboard Drive as well as having the house on 2 acres of land. Plenty of room to park cars in the driveway and short driving distance to Lake Raponda and many restaurants. Hiking trails are very close to the home as well as snow mobile trails.

Rita and her family were wonderful renters of our home in West Dover, Vermont. They had such an enjoyable time and made use of the property and the spacious dwelling inside. Whenever we spoke on the phone when they may have had questions, our conversations were very informative. We provided them with a welcome guest information guide which included points of interest and various restaurants for dining. The family took advantage of our recommendations. I hope they return to Southern Vermont to enjoy the wonderful foliage season as well as the other three seasons that are magnificent. They are welcome back to our home anytime.

Family Thanksgiving week at 48 Buckboard. Thoroughly enjoyed staying at this very well equipped house near Mt. Snow, VT. Host was super helpful and attentive both leading up to our stay and during it. House had 5 bedrooms and large common areas both upstairs and down. Kitchen had tons of dishes, pots-pans etc etc. we used the oven-stove to cook and warm our Turkey Day meals. Laundry facilities were very useful! Ubiquitous small artwork and/or decorations make the house feel very warm and comfortable. We would definitely consider a return visit to this lovely home.

Everything had been cleaned and put back in place exactly the way we left it. We appreciate Julie and her family very much and would welcome Julie and her family back with open arms.

Hi Jill and family Thank you very much for your comments regarding our home in West Dover Vermont. After a long sought after repair process for our fireplace, we finally got a crew in from Manchester. The earliest appointment was this past Friday. The technician was very knowledgeable and came in and put a new power box along with hooking up new wiring, which automatically triggers off our gas for our fireplace. It Is now working very well and I hope it continues to work like that for the entire season. I apologize for not having it ready, but the earliest appointment was unfortunately a day after you left. It’s sometimes harder to get crews to come down to fix fireplaces, especially gas , because there aren’t that many companies that do that kind of work. I am glad our home was comfortable for you and your guests. A few of the many things that attracted us to the house was the pond in the front, as well as the brook that runs along the side of our property. In addition, we also love the fact that our home is built on 2 acres of land and we look forward to eventually redoing the barn that is on the other side of the property. I wish you a great winter and again thank you for using our home. Please remember us again when you decide to come to Mount Snow.

Fell in Love with Mt Snow

This house was perfect!! This was our first time to Mt Snow and we fell in love with the house and area. We traveled with adults and teenagers, so the layout was perfect. Kitchen and living room had plenty of space to eat together and watch football. Downstairs area was perfect for the kids to hang out in! Beds are super comfortable! Great, quiet neighborhood and so close to great restaurants. Only a short drive to the mountain! We can’t wait to come back next year!

Great ski house!

We really enjoyed our stay at this well-appointed, spacious Mt Snow home. The location was perfect - a quiet, beautiful neighborhood about 10 minutes from the mountain. We were 2 families (4 adults, 5 kids) and we had plenty of space to spread out. The photos don’t do this house justice! Layout was really nice for our party - 2 bedrooms downstairs (plus a futon in the den), 3 bedrooms upstairs, 1 full bathroom on each floor. Kitchen had everything we could need plus more. Large mudroom area made getting ski gear on and off much easier and more convenient. The house was clean and had lots of amenities (extra towels/linens, cleaning supplies, paper goods, etc). Owners were easy to work with and communicative. We would definitely return!

Just Like Home

This was a first for my family as we usually do beach vacations, and this did not disappoint. The owner was communicative and helpful. We got fresh snow the day we arrived and the plow was timely and frequent for both the driveway and the road. The mountain was less then 8 min away which was great! There was more then enough space to accommodate the 7 adults and 1 baby. The place was very clean and the views from the windows were amazing. We will definitely be revisiting this home next year for an even longer stay. We will be adding another baby next year and I am more then confident that this property will continue to be perfect for our growing family. Thank you for such a memorable trip, for welcoming our family and for allowing us to vacation with our three furry children. 10/10 highly recommend.

I would like to thank Amanda and her family for a wonderful review of our home in West Dover Vermont. We purchased the house on December 8 2021 and we have enjoyed every minute of it. We’ve been in the house for all four seasons. At this point every season takes on its own special appearance. The summer was glorious with hiking and biking and the fall spectacular with the beautiful view of the changing colors of the trees. This being our second winter, we look forward to sharing our home with families and individuals who love the mountains and the snow of Vermont. Mount Snow is only ten minutes from our home which makes the closeness extremely attractive. Again, thank you Amanda and family for keeping our home so meticulous and enjoying it ever so much. We hope to see you return to our home in the near future. Joe M

Winter Fun

Group of friends getting together for another, annual ski trip. Great location, right near Mount snow and all that west Dover has to offer. The driveway was quite icy/slippery. if you don’t have a 4WD vehicle, I’d recommend avoiding this spot during the winter time, especially with ice. As advertised, the paths were not well shoveled when we first arrived, but that was something we were able to accommodate and knew we were getting ourselves into that situation. Joe is very responsive and was able to assist us with a minor check-in issue and early check-in. Unfortunately late checkout didn’t work out for us but due to unforeseen circumstances, which on certain can’t blame the host for. Overall a great experience and would returb.

Wonderful Home

The home was more than we expected from the photos and very clean. The living room was large and was the location of many family conversations. The dining room and kitchen areas accommodated family meals of 10. We had 25 guests come and go over 3 weeks. The grill on the deck outside the kitchen was just a few feet from the dining areas. The lower level was great for sleeping, play area for kids and a place for quiet time if anyone needed it. The fit pit in the rear yard was a nightly location for songs, story telling and s'mores. Taking early morning coffee on the west deck was a delight for me. The owners are very attentive. They communicated with us prior to arrival and during our stay. We have prior VRBO rental experience in Pennsylvania, New York and Vermont. This was the finest. We hope to return to this house next Summer.

Larry, Thank you for your gracious comments regarding your three week stay in our home at 48 Buckboard Drive in West Dover, Vermont. I am so glad that you enjoyed your vacation with your family. Biking, golf, hiking and just plain old relaxing must have been glorious. I know you appreciated the stargazing in the back yard as you and your family sat around the fire pit. I am so happy to hear that the house was spacious enough for your family and guests. I enjoyed hearing about the updates each week and that you were able to have wonderful weather. Please consider us again when you decide to take another vacation to the Green Mountain State of Vermont. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Joe Malizia

Ski house near Mt Snow

I recently stayed at this property for one week with my family (husband, 3 kids, 2 dogs) while skiing/snowboarding at Mt Snow. Upon our arrival, the house was clean and the check-in process was easy. The owners provided all the information we would need in a concise Google doc before we arrived so we really didn't have any unanswered questions. There was more than enough space, good WiFi, and access to several entertainment apps (my daughter particularly enjoyed bingeing the Harry Potter movies on HBO Max). Our 17-month-old is a bit of a nightmare at restaurants, so we cooked in the well-equipped kitchen every day easily. The yard is large and backs onto a heavily wooded area, perfect for our dogs to stretch their legs. The road through the neighborhood is wide and not heavily traveled so walking/running was quite safe. It snowed during our stay and the plow company employed by the owners came by several times so we had no trouble getting our non-4 wheel drive cars out of the driveway even in the middle of a storm. Definitely a great ski house. Would stay there again.

Magical return to Vermont

This year we decided to surprise our family with Thanksgiving in Vermont. Mt Snow was our home mountain where we skied in our youth so we were anxious to share this beautiful area with our children and grandchildren. This home in Dover, Vermont was beyond anything we could have imagined. It was so beautiful and spacious. The kitchen was huge and so easy to cook our feast in. There was every convenience! The beds were so comfortable and everyone enjoyed a restful nights sleep. We ate and played board games at the spacious dining room table in front of the fireplace and watched movies together in the living room. There was also a beautiful lower level that provided even more areas to relax, sleep and entertain the kids! Our hosts alerted us that we would be arriving to snow and provided us everything that we needed.The kids were delighted! We explored many of the quaint shops along Route 100. We loved staying at the Malizia's home. The hosts are wonderful,caring people and we feel blessed to have had this special time together at their home. We would love to come back again!! Thank you, Joseph and Mary Ann

Spacious home with great host

We rented this home in West Dover for an annual cousin ski weekend. There were 8 adults for our stay. The home is in a lovely neighborhood, with plenty of space between homes, so it felt quite private and secluded. The hosts were excellent and provided us with a great instruction packet with plenty of tips and tricks for how to manage things. They were also highly responsive, with great communication throughout our stay. The home is also dog friendly, which worked out very nicely for our group. There are a few items that need attention: the owners were clearly in the middle of some projects to so some upkeep on the house, the interior needed a new paint job, and the kitchen sink water pressure was poor (though we were forewarned about this). However, the layout worked out very well, with lots of space to spread out, and the bedroom configuration was very nice for our sized group. The gas fireplace was also a nice touch, which we enjoyed. The location was good – high up a hill above West Dover, and less than a 10-minute drive from Mount Snow. It snowed quite a lot while we were here, and although this added a few complications, the owners left shovels and gave us very specific instructions to prepare for this and the main part of the driveway was plowed out promptly.

We are very excited about our newly purchased home. It is in a wonderful location with only eight minutes to mount snow. We are excited about this ski season and feel that we have accommodated many groups that really enjoyed our home. This going on our fourteenth month of ownership, we have incorporated many of the local businesses to complete jobs for us and to maintain our property. All have been wonderful and extremely professional. I would like to thank our previous rental family in submitting such a great review.
