This open and airy custom Cape is nestled at the base of Sugarbush Mt Ellen in a private neighborhood only a few miles from Mad River and Lincoln Peak. Big picture windows provide lots of natural light and views, and the open floor plan has 3 separate gathering areas to accommodate your whole family.

It’s easy to unload from the level driveway into the large mudroom with plenty of space for all your gear. The mudroom opens into a well-stocked gourmet kitchen outfitted with everything you need to prepare meals and eat in.

The large kitchen area includes a butcher block island and a breakfast table with beautiful mountain views. There is a comfy seating space for lounging over coffee or socializing during dinner prep. The house feels clean and fresh with shiny wood floors throughout the first floor.

In the colder weather, curl up in the comfortable living room in front of the wood-burning fireplace and watch a movie on the 65” TV. Equipped with WiFi, cable and Apple TV. The dining area is open to the living room. The buffet has all the stemware you need and the table seats 10.

In the warmer weather, enjoy serene mountain views from the huge wrap around deck while you relax on an Adirondack chair waiting for your food to come off the grill. Seats 10 for outside dining.

A stylish half-bath rounds out the first floor.

Enjoy the convenience and privacy of ensuite bathrooms. The house has 3 bedrooms upstairs (2 queens, 1 king) each with full baths, and one extra large sleeping area in the walk out lower level (queen and two twins) with 3/4 bath.

    Our family, young and old, love this house, the setting, and the whole area of the Mad River Valley. There's something for everyone, from the youngest at 18 months old, to the oldest at 89 years of age.

    We came back to celebrate another family milestone and had a wonderful time. Found two great hikes (Vista in Warren and Chase in Waitsfield right near the house.) had a nice fire in the backyard and the deck was perfect for outdoor dinner and games. Every bed is super comfortable and the kitchen is awesome for big meals.

    Our family loves coming to this beautiful home nestled above the Mad River Valley. The views are amazing! The house is so comfortable, there’s plenty of room for gathering and hanging out, cozying up to the fire. The bedrooms are wonderfully decorated with en suite baths, the kitchen is very well appointed with great cookware and awesome island. Fabulous space in the basement rooms and large mud room. Fantastic deck and fire pit. Owners are super!

    Staying at this Sugarbush Mt Ellen house is like staying at the home of a dear friend. The house is situated with a beautiful view and a long and wide balcony, a comfortable interior, and everything a lived-in house would have. This is a family's home, not a house decorated to rent out. The house is a big part of the reason we return to the Mad River Valley. It's well located for shopping and activities, and very comfortable in the evenings and rainy days during which we choose to stay in. My favorite time is early morning, watching the sun rise, with the colors changing, and a cup of tea in my hands.
