Waitsfield, Vermont
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS NOT AN IDEAL HOUSE FOR PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE NEGOTIATING STAIRS , I SUGGEST YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PICTURES.
THE REST IS ALL GOOD NEWS.
Waitsfield is a great place to bring your family, friends and dogs ... wide open spaces, fresh air, outdoor activities, winter or summer, all within a few hours drive from all of New England and the tri-state area.
The Snow's Nest is about 2.5 miles from the center of Waitsfield village, where you can find everything you need but still separate yourselves. There are walking trails, canoeing and kayaking, biking, antiquing, farmers' markets, artisanal local foods and fooderies including the Von Trapp (yes, that Von Trapp) dairy farm and store, sporting events, etc.

Very nice place to stay with a warm fireplace
Very quaint and comfortable house. Conveniently located
Location of this property is excellent, beautiful and peaceful. Truly enjoyed this location and would recommend this pet friendly property.
Lovely home with lots of space. The kitchen was well stocked and making meals was easy. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated having the washer and dryer.
So much to love about this property! The house is surrounded by lush landscape plus acreage our son could explore with the dogs. While there is plenty of privacy, nearby neighbors keep you from feeling totally isolated. The expansive deck served as a gathering space for morning coffee, reading, napping, yoga & family meals. The owner provides everything you could need to feel at home along with helpful notes and instructions. As former residents of the Mad River Valley, we chose this property for its proximity to all of our old haunts (shops, eateries, swimming holes, mountain biking & hiking trails). Everywhere you’d want to go is a scenic 10-15 minute drive through a Vermont postcard. Waitsfield Village is just minutes down the road. If you don’t mind hill climbs, you can adventure by foot or bike right out the door. We would definitely stay here again!
This home was lovely: quiet and secluded, cheerful and cozy, very clean, plenty of dishes and linens, a nice selection of toys for my grandson, lots of books and DVDs. Highly recommended!
Loved the home, loved the area. Beautiful home with plenty of beds, cookware, seating, and comfort.
Everything I needed.
Beautiful, cozy, clean and convenient house! The view from the deck is wonderful! The pictures from the website don’t do the place justice, really! The communication with the owner was great. Especially about the muddy roads at this time of the season. As she told us beforehand, we were able to rent a car accordingly. The small towns around are cute and we found everything we needed. Very nice people everywhere. The theater at Waitsfield was a great family experience! A lot of beautiful all level trails. We definitely loved Vermont!!
Adorable, clean cabin conveniently located to sugarbush, mad river Glenn and (a little farther out) Stowe. Mad river valley has a great local food scene with Waterbury, Waitsfield, and Warren all within range. Love the von trapp farmstead just down the road from the house as well. Thank you Sheila for a great stay!!
A sweet little cottage with. Great location to everything.
We enjoyed our stay
The first thing that we noted when we got to the house was that there were dead flies all over the floor. This was especially concerning as our dogs were with us and we didn’t know if a bug killer had been used to kill the flies. The house was also lacking stair railings and had tripping hazards at thresholds which was a major concern for my father with mobility issues. The bedroom that is listed as two twins that can be converted to a king needs a very heavy dresser to be moved in order for that to occur. The location of the bedrooms and bathroom were also precarious and caused concern for falling down the stairs in the middle of the night. We paid quite a bit for a 3 night stay and are sorely disappointed with what we got for our money.
Super cozy house in a quiet spot - huge deck, comfy beds & living spaces, fast internet, well equipped kitchen. Owner is very helpful and responsive. Appreciate that it's dog-friendly, and all the games, books, DVDs, etc.
Very convenient to Waitsfield. Overall, even better than the photos- the sizable deck has updated furniture and a nice view. The large, electric awning is handy for rain and afternoon sun. Very clean inside and out. Nicely landscaped. We were there during a hot summer week and the air worked well. Gorgeous area to drive around
The house is clean, peaceful, well supplied and maintained. A great location as a home base to all the wonderful places we visited. What a magnificent view. Sheila has great communication skills for anything we needed. Thank you. Sheila
Lovely house that is well equipped and maintained. Owner/manager is responsive and easy to communicate with. It is situated near a small town with adequate services plus many recreational and cultural activities.
