About this property

Mountain Cabin Bordering State Park. Hiking, Private. Special Place, Great View!

Tucked in the forest near the end of a dead end dirt road this cabin sits on a ridge with awesome views and sounds of a creek below. Fully renovated interior in 2021 yet keeping its rustic charm. Peaceful and quiet nestled against Camels Hump State Park, but still the luxury of high speed internet. Master bedroom has large picture window towards the forest with the creek below. Enjoy morning coffee on the porch with its beautiful south eastern exposure. Minutes from Waterbury and Waitsfield

This 1 bedroom cabin with a loft in Duxbury is perfect for your escape. With a cozy queen bed with a view in the master bedroom. 2 twin beds in the loft that can be made in to a king.

Propane Fireplace in living room adds to the ambiance. Set to a thermostat or just turn it on!
Hiking into the state park is right from your door. Quiet and not used by many people, connects to 14,000 acre Camels Hump stayed Forest. Also makes great cross country skiing on the groomed Snowmobile trails in the winter.

Fire pit outside the cabin. Charcoal BBQ for you to enjoy. Here the Dowsville creek from bed after a night of rain!

Four wheel drive in winter needed. Any car in summer is fine.

The house is a lovely, simple getaway in a remote spot. Nicely maintained and comfortable. The area has lots to do and see (or not, if you are there to relax). Very comfortable and functional for my family of four. Peter was very communicative and helpful.

Overall, this little cabin was perfect as a base camp for exploring the surrounding areas. It’s an inviting space, stocked with the basics, and secluded for relaxation. I do wish the firepit area had a better view of the mountains and had chairs rather than tree stumps. On the deck, a side table would be nice for enjoying morning coffee. But these are minor things and did not at all detract from our stay.

We had a great weekend at the cabin! Even though the weather didn’t cooperate we enjoyed our stay. The proximity to Burlington and surrounding towns was perfect- close enough, but you felt like you were away from it all. We hope to be back with better weather to enjoy the hiking, deck and fire pit. Until next time.

Fantastic location, views, and stay. The cabin is as advertised and the kitchen comes well equipped. The drive to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen was well under 25 minutes. Would certainly return during any season.

This cabin was perfect for my mom, sister, and I to go away for a weekend! It was exactly the space we were hoping for- very clean, a pretty view, and cozy vibes inside! The fireplace was so cozy and there was the perfect amount of room for each of us. Check in and out was easy, and the host was very informative and responsive. A great weekend for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Peter DiCicco

Host profile image

My name is Pete and I am from Vermont. My wife Sandra is from Sweden. We met guiding camping trips for a company that brought us all over North America. We love travelling and are usually working in Alaska in the summers. Hosting has been a fun way for us to share this beautiful part of Vermont, while staying connected with travelers.

Why they chose this property

This is a cute little cabin built on to an old glacial gravel ridge. Looking down onto Dowsville creek or looking out across the mountains it is just beautiful here! We love that this is a small plot of land towards the end of a dead end road. We can just stroll into a very quite corner of the Camels Hump State Park.

What makes this property unique

A fun fact about this freshly remodeled cabin

-Cabinets were hand built farther up the road by a neighbor
-Counter tops are slabs from trees cut on this hillside.
