About this property

Orchard Cottage - A mountain retreat

Orchard Cottage was lovingly restored a couple of years ago to a very high standard. It is decorated in soothing autumnal tones with very comfortable beds and lots of locally sourced antiques and artwork. It sits on a 20+ acre family estate that backs on to the wild and untouched Roxbury Mountain. Our main family home and cottage sit further up the hill affording you with complete privacy.

Orchard Cottage has 2 bedrooms and a den with pull out sofa. It comfortably sleeps 6 people.

Cozy cottage

Beautiful home, great location. Beds were very comfortable, very clean, well stocked kitchen. Shower was awesome! Very charming and nicely updated. Our only complaints would be that it would have been nice to have a little larger of a tv, and the cleaning fee was a bit high considering we were required to take sheets off the beds, wash the towels, run the dishwasher, and take out the garbage.

Wonderful Winter stay

We had a great post Christmas stay at Orchard Cottage. The cottage was even more quaint in person, with everything we needed for our stay. The high quality bedding and linens made for a cozy stay. We enjoyed lots of family time by the wood-burning fire - our favorite part of our stay by far. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home! The Hicks Family Concord, NH

The Orchard Cottage was a wonderful respite in the snowy woods of Vermont

A great home with good access for two excellent days at MRG and fine restaurants. The only problem was not wanting to leave the fireplace at Orchard Cottage!

Great Week

We were very comfortable at Orchard Cottage. Great beds and shower. The area was friendly and lots of fun. Spent lots of time on the beautiful porch when we weren’t hiking and exploring. Would love to return another time.

Wonderful ski weekend retreat!

We have stayed at Orchard Cottage three times and will be back! It is a charming and peaceful cottage nestled in the Vermont woods. Perfect for ski weekends - beautifully decorated, great kitchen with magnificent views, working fireplace, and close to Sugarbush! Both the owner and local property management are on top of the details and maintain the house to a high standard.

Cozy ski season stay

We enjoyed our stay at this property during the holiday ski season. It provided clean and ample space for our family of two adults and two children. The location allowed easy access to Sugarbush and Waitsfield. Having the East Warren Community Market down the road was very convenient. Our kids enjoyed playing in the open yard space.

ORCHARD COTTAGE

Beautifully decorated and impeccably clean renovated antique house nestled in the woods near Sugarbush/Warren center. The beds/linens were extremely comfortable, kitchen fully stocked with necessary and brand new utensils/knives/appliances.

Wonderful Girls Weekend in Gorgeous Setting

Our group of 6 women had an extraordinary weekend retreating to this special cottage. The house was beautifully appointed with plenty of space/privacy and the mountain setting was the perfect location for an early fall getaway. Nearby Warren Village is vintage Vermont with the Pitcher Inn (excellent dining/bar area) and General Store (necessities and wonderful gifts). I look forward to returning to the Orchard Cottage with my family as soon as possible!

Perfect weekend vacation

Heidi's house was even better than it looked in the pictures - warm, cozy, and clean. It felt like an old farm house but but had all the important updates in the bathrooms and kitchen. The views and scenery are beautiful, and we loved everything about our weekend. My kids (ages 10,8,5) loved the house too, but I wouldn't recommend it for toddlers - the stairs are very steep.

Orchard Cottage: A Great Option in the Mad River Valley

My buddies and I had a great visit to the Mad River Valley this weekend in Heidi's home. She has everything you need for a great stay, including comfortable beds, beautuiful views, a roaring fireplace and a chef's kitchen. For up to six people, this is the place to stay near Sugarbush and Mad River Valley. Period.

Cozy winter retreat

What a wonderful place. Orchard cottage is everything it seems like in the photos and more. We cooked all of our meals here and sat by the fire for hours. Highly recommend. Note: If coming in winter, you will definitely need AWD or 4WD and snow tires wouldn't hurt! We should have known to heed that warning.

History in the Forrest

Staying here feels like experiencing history. The cottage feels like stepping back in time to Colonial America. But don’t worry, the bathrooms and kitchen are beautifully updated. We enjoyed the fireplace and porch immensely. Making a meal was easy and we enjoyed the quiet solitude of the place. Waitsfield is an easy 15 minute drive. The cottage was meticulously clean and I felt safe, even in COVID times. We’ll be back!

A quaint VT mountain cottage

Orchard Cottage is the perfect spot for a quiet family get-away. It has wonderful colonial VT country charm, but with the modern convenience of updated bathrooms & kitchen. The bedroom space is suitable for a single family or 2 couples, but the living space is quite ample, with a wonderful fireplace & deck looking out to the mountains. We came up for a weekend of skiing at Sugarbush and found it so warm & welcoming we were reluctant to leave the house. The mountain is no more than 15 minutes drive, but would recommend 4WD/snowtires as the access road to the house is quite steep. We look forward to staying again soon.

Beatiful sunsets!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orchard Cottage. When we arrived we found the house spotless and lights were on to welcome us. The cottage is very well maintained and decorated with beautiful antiques. My favorite part of the house is the oversized and well-stocked kitchen, the large bathroom with extra soft towels and the views of the sunset in the evening. Easy drive to Sugarbush. When reading a few reviews, I was a little nervous how the road would be, but relative to other dirt roads in the Mad River Valley, this was easy. This is by far, my favorite house I have rented in the Valley (and I've rented many). Hope to be back!

Beautiful Retreat

We stayed at Orchard Cottage with our three children for a long weekend in October and we had a wonderful time. The house has been beautifully remodeled and nothing has been overlooked. The kitchen is well equipped and we took delight in cooking with local organic produce. We also found a good selection of ready-made healthy and vegan meals in the Community Store. When the sun was out, we embarked on one of many hiking trails in Warren Village, around the Appalachian and Lincoln Gap; rummaged in quaint villages shops and enjoyed good restaurants and even natural food stores. Thank you to the extremely resourceful owner! We are looking forward to come back and enjoy winter activities.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Ringsted

Host profile image
Having originally purchased the main house next door, we jumped at the chance to buy Orchard Cottage when it became available. With a growing family, we needed space for all of our friends and family to congregate during the holidays. We live overseas but visit several times a year to ski, play in the Mad River, hike in the Green Mountains and be at peace in this really beautiful spot.

Why they chose this property

Orchard Cottage is nestled into a ridge on Roxbury Mountain in the middle of the Green Mountains. Set below the main house beyond the apple treehouse and the orchard. It has it's own driveway and is completely private.

What makes this property unique

This cottage would be perfect for a small family or a couple looking for a unique Vermont getaway. The setting is very peaceful and romantic and the furnishings extremely luxurious. Whether you plan an active break taking advantage of all that the valley has to offer or you are seeking a cozy retreat to relax and watch the foliage change or the wild turkeys and deer roaming through the orchard, Orchard Cottage can supply all of that!

Old Roxbury Road is a private road and a 4WD is a must even though it is plowed continually throughout the winter.
