Spacious house in a great location

My family and I stayed for 2 nights to catch the total solar eclipse. Located up on a hill with mountain views, this was a perfect location! The sunsets here were also amazing. The house definitely needs some updating/maintenance but was within our price range so we were mostly satisfied. At 2500 square feet, there is plenty of room to spread out. The house has 3 floors - the basement is a walk out and has a small kitchen, full bathroom, a living area, 2 pull out couches/loveseats and a cot. The main floor has 2 bedrooms with queen size beds, a living area, dining area, kitchen and full bath. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked all of our meals during our stay. The upstairs is accessed by spiral staircase and has 1 bedroom with twin bunk beds and a full bath but the cold-water faucet was broken. One of the bathroom faucets in the basement was also leaking. We discovered a secret room behind a bookcase upstairs so that was fun! The garage housed the ping pong table and foosball and there is a firepit in the back behind the pool. We visited in April so the pool wasn't open yet but the gate to the pool area was not working and off its hinges. After finding some empty beer cans around, we wondered if the last guests who stayed here did not care for the property like they should have. Overall, we had a great time and also appreciated all the outdoor furniture so we could hang out and enjoy the beautiful weather and spectacular eclipse!

Wonderful winter weekend in Vermont!

Fantastic views! A perfect spot for our family- 5 adults who were in the area for a wedding in Stowe. The location was perfect and we enjoyed the eclectic 70’s vibe. Very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed.

As advertised, a retro ski chalet from the 1970s. House has lots of room and all the basic amenities we needed for a successful long weekend stay. Great view from the front deck and the book collection is amazing.

Unique, great place!

A group of friends and I stayed in the home for a wedding in the area, and it was fantastic for seven adults! Lots of space and unique features of the home. The pool and outdoor fire pit are awesome! Would absolutely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Mack

Tim & Stephanie live in Essex with their 3 kids. They run their own businesses & manage this rental home in their spare time. Tim grew up in Essex & is a native Vermonter while Stephanie grew up in New York State. Tim is a snowboarder while Stephanie & their kids are skiers.

Why they chose this property

Tim's Aunt Martha bought the chalet in the 80s. She purchased it from the original builder. Martha's passion was antiques & owns M.Lewis Antiques in downtown Waterbury. Thus us you see lots of the original decorations still left in their original locations. Tim & Stephanie follow Aunt Martha's love for funky things & appreciate the chalet in it's orginal charm. We hope you love it too!

What makes this property unique

The views of the Green Mountains is outstanding. The house is extremely quiet & you don't hear cars going by. You will get a kick out of all the nick knacks, vintage wallpaper & colorful bathrooms! When was the last time you got to use a spiral staircase? Have fun & let us know what you find interesting!
