Guest access Guests have full private access to the entire Chalet, including the yard, fire pit, wrap-around deck, porch swing, workshop lake gear area, and parking for two vehicles.
Across the road on the same private property is our Alpine Suite, a separate and fully independent rental with its own driveway, entrance, and outdoor space. Some guests reserve both homes together for larger groups while maintaining privacy.
The chalet itself is private and not shared with other guests.
Other things to note ACCESSIBILITY The chalet is accessed via several exterior steps. Inside, the hand-hewn loft stairs are steep and narrow, as is typical of traditional log homes, and may be challenging for guests with mobility concerns.
DRIVING AND ACCESS • The chalet is accessed by a steep Vermont dirt road, with the final 1/10 mile all uphill. • November through April: AWD/4WD and winter tires are required. • April through early May (mud season): A higher-clearance vehicle is strongly recommended due to muddy road conditions. • May through October: No special vehicle requirements. • Please plan accordingly, as weather and road conditions can change quickly.
RURAL SETTING • The chalet is located in a quiet, wooded setting. • Guests may see wildlife and hear occasional seasonal maintenance typical of a rural Vermont property. • Cellular service is limited to poor depending on your carrier, but the Wi-Fi is reliable, and enabling Wi-Fi calling before arrival is strongly recommended.
SECURITY CAMERAS Exterior security cameras are located on the property and monitor the driveway and entrances. There are no cameras inside the cabin or in private guest areas.

About the host
Hosted by Daisy Scarzello
This property was my father’s, and I grew up spending winters skiing and summers swimming at the lake. I loved Vermont enough to move here after high school—and never left.
Restoring the property, tending the gardens, and finishing my father’s projects has been a family effort. It means a lot to share this place with guests and see new memories made here.
When we’re not working on the property, we’re usually adventuring with our three girls—biking, swimming, building snowpeople, or hunting for salamanders. And in quieter moments, you’ll find me dreaming up the next project with my husband or digging into the garden.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood holds decades of family memories—ski days, lake swims, muddy spring hikes, and stargazing nights on the porch. It’s close to all the adventure, but still feels tucked away and calm. We love the easy access to Blueberry Lake and the short drive to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen.
What makes this property unique
A lot of love and craftsmanship shape this property, inside and out. As the daughter of a landscaper and woodworker, I grew up appreciating fine details—and I’ve poured that into every inch of this home. From thoughtful interior touches to well-tended gardens, nothing here is overlooked.
Guests often tell us the difference is in the details: dry wood ready at the fire pit, a fully stocked kitchen for that first cup of vacation coffee, and other essentials you may have forgotten. We want your stay to feel easy, comfortable, and cared for.
Another unique perk: the chalet sits across from our Alpine Apartment, giving groups the rare option to rent both spaces for weddings, reunions, or trips with friends. With only three properties on our quiet road—one unoccupied—the setting feels peaceful, private, and distinctly Vermont.
