Welcome to The Ranch — a warm, sprawling retreat set on 7 forested acres just minutes from Stowe Village and Stowe Mountain Resort. Available exclusively this summer, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of Stowe's most distinctive and spacious vacation rentals for the season.
The property spans nearly 5,000 square feet across a 5-bedroom main house and a separate 2-bedroom apartment — ideal for large families, multi-generational groups, or a gathering of friends who want room to actually spread out. Multiple living spaces, modern amenities, and a layout designed for both togetherness and breathing room.
Perched above a private trout-stocked pond and surrounded by wooded trails, rolling hills, and wildlife at every turn, The Ranch is the kind of place that slows time down. Spend your days hiking, biking, swimming in the pond, gathering around the fire pit at dusk, or simply doing nothing on the porch with your coffee and the trees.
Stowe in summer is something most people never experience — the crowds thin, the green is impossibly lush, and the mountains are yours. Hiking, biking, farmers market, local breweries, and top-rated restaurants are all a short drive away.
Available through August 15, 2026. Pet-friendly. Sleeps 14.

About the host
Hosted by Courtney Mercier
Hello!
My name is Courtney, I’m a native Vermonter who left for 15 years of adventures in the West and came back to settle into my home state.
My little guy, Avery, and I live in Stowe, which we LOVE, and split time between there and our home in Taos, NM. Apparently we love our mountain towns.
We have tons of local recommendations... Stowe is such a magical little town!
Why they chose this property
The location of the house and its setting were one of the biggest draws for us when buying the home. It is nestled into the woods down a dirt road, sitting with a view of a pond below. We are only 6 miles from the ski resort and 1-3 miles from all of the amenities that the Stowe Mountain Road and Historic Village offer. You feel like you're worlds away from it all but you're just a hop skip and jump away from everything. On certain Summer evenings as well as NYE our dining room and deck area offers a front row seat to a seemingly private fireworks show that the Trapp Family Lodge puts on.... it's a very special treat.
What makes this property unique
Aside from the bucolic setting and great proximity to everything in the town of Stowe we love to host guests with pets. The home is a fantastic spot to gather your family, friends, and 4 legged family members while on adventure to the town of Stowe. There is a very special feel in the great room of the home which opens up to the large deck... just a lovely space to gather all together.
