Top Notch in every category - it is obvious that over years of experience the have thought of this thing and that thing. I've have never stayed at a place that was so well equipped, no detail missing what-so-ever. This is a very special property, and I am sure we will return. Thanks !
This is a large home that easily accommodated our extended family group. House has beautiful mountain views and is very well equipped. Pool and frog pond were popular with the kids. Sibylle is a pleasure to deal with.
We had a large family group including children, parents, and grandparents. The house worked out perfectly. Great set up, clean, well equipped, lots to do for the kids. The information provided was thorough and helpful. Kids loved the treehouse, frog pond, firepit, and especially the beautiful pool. Close to restaurants in Waterbury and Stowe.
Enjoyable family gathering, with fun activities available for all ages 10-75.
Great wooded location and perfect for eating in and enjoying the view. Has it all and is very easy to spend a whole day just around the house. But if you leave, also very convenient to Burly, Stowe and Mad River Valley.
Beautiful property. Sibylle is a wondeful host.
We loved the property, plenty of room for 7 of us. Had a minor HVAC issue that the owner was all over. We would stay there again.
Amazing property with beautiful views with all the changes in color! Well equipped for anything you need, and perfect location! Would love to revisit in the future!
Beautiful location. Wonderful accomodations. Our family enjoyed the close proximity to so many activities. Looking forward to returning.
My family and I had the most memorable 2 week stay at Villa Ausblick! We took advantage of every part of the beautiful property, inside and out. Our 3 young boys treasured their days exploring the frog pond, playing in the treehouse, swimming in the pool, eating s’mores by the fire pit at night, playing foosball and watching movies in the basement, and enjoying every toy in the playroom. The adults enjoyed all of that and more - meals and drinks on the 2 decks, some exercise equipment, and unbelievable views! And on days we wanted to venture out we found amazing food and activities all within 10-20 minutes. Our favorite was picnicking and kayaking at Waterbury Center State Park. The owners thought of literally everything you could ever need in a rental home. I have never felt more taken care of when staying at someone else’s home. We are so grateful to the Kim family for sharing their oasis with us!
The property is so incredible - our party (ages 67 years down to 4 months) had a wonderful week at the house and in the surrounding area (including the charming town of Waterbury as well as Stowe). It was absolutely perfect for kids, although they needed supervision given the pool, pond and mountain location. The views and mountain air will keep you outside, but the house is so well equipped you almost hoped a rainy day would come along so you could stay inside and watch movies and play board games in the cozy basement/bar.
The Kim’s were easy to communicate with and quick to respond to our questions. We found trying to compost properly a bit difficult since none of the 3 families had ever done this before but this did not detract from the house or property. We were never able to cool the second floor below 74 degrees but the fans in each bedroom helped. It was warmer in VT the week we were there which probably contributed to the A/C issue. We loved the pool, grounds and game room. This was one of the first family vacations we’ve had where a TV was hardly ever turned on. This says a lot for the property.
We had a great time at this house. The view was great, the house had plenty of space for all of us and the kitchen was well stocked. The location was perfect for us. Close to hiking, Waterbury and Stowe so you can do it all without having to drive far. Only thing to be aware of is the AC really wasn’t very effective. We had it at the lowest the host allows the entire time (70 degrees) and it never got below 74 in the master. I stayed in the bunk room and our baby monitor read 80 on a few nights before bed. It was a very hot week though so maybe in more mild weather it would have been better. Overall a great stay and we would recommend for a family vacation.
This property truly has it all! Inside, the home was extremely well-equipped, with everything we needed in the kitchen, comfortable beds, and plenty of space. Everything was immaculate, which was important to us staying with young children. Outside is where things REALLY shined. Incredible views while you're enjoying the pool, a treehouse that provided hours of fun, a pond that was so idyllic, lawn games, and a natural rock to climb. Finally, Sibylle was so responsive, thorough, and has really thought of everything. We felt very well taken care of. We can't wait to go back!!
