Here are a few kind words from previous guests:
“We had an amazing stay! Tommy and his co-hosts were super responsive and helpful when we had questions. It was so peaceful and quiet - we loved the hot tub under the deck lights on our last night while it lightly snowed. Magical! We would love to come back!” - Tiffany
“We stayed here for the weekend with our two young kids to ski at Stratton. The house was convenient to the mountain and local towns. Tommy was incredibly proactive and has a very helpful guide with local recommendations and information on the house. We enjoyed our stay and the cabin was exactly as described!” - Elizabeth
“We stayed here 2 nights after a 4 day ski trip in mount snow. We enjoyed the hot hub and it’s very relaxing after a long day of skiing. Tommy’s place was clean and match description. The communication was on point and they are always proactive and responsive. I would love to stay again next time I am in the area!” - Yanan

We are 9 minutes from Stratton Mountain, 13 minutes from Mount Snow, 4 minutes from Grout Pond for great hiking, and 7 minutes to Wundorwoven, where you can pick up farm-fresh eggs for breakfast. I`ll send you a list of the best restaurants and activities around, ranging from snowmobiling adventures, hikes, breweries, and spas.
The only way to get around is really by car. The closest airport is the Rutland Airport (RUT), which is about 33 miles from Stratton, but you`ll still need a car to get around here. During the winter, I recommend all-wheel-drive, especially during winter storms. Getting to the house is easy and you won`t particularly need all-wheel-drive to get to the house, but the roads definitely can get slippery during snow storms.
✹ Easy self-check-in is available via the smart lock on the front door - I`ll send you a personalized code on the morning of check-in day.
✹ Please note that upon booking, I`ll ask you to e-sign a rental agreement. By booking, you agree to complete this step immediately post booking or the reservation may be canceled.
✹ The cabin is not wheelchair accessible.
✹ There are 2 Tesla boxes. This is a battery backup for the cabin in case the power goes out, not a car charger.
✹ No smoking.
✹ No parties or events without prior approval.
✹ The hot tub may not be up to temperature when you first arrive. It is emptied, sanitized, and refilled on a regular schedule so that you have super-fresh water, and takes almost 10 hours to heat up after being filled up. If it is being maintained on the day you arrive, it may not be up to temperature that first night. I coordinate it for the day before if possible so that it is ready by when you check in, but it`s not always possible. If you’d like, I can also coordinate for it to be emptied and refilled specifically for your stay even if the service isn’t “due”, and you’d cover the service fee in that case.
✹ The cabin is pet friendly! There is a $50 pet fee because cleaning after pets stay typically takes much longer. Please reach out after booking and we`ll process that separately.
✹ The A/C is only in the main bedroom, but it`s big enough to cool the whole upstairs (both bedrooms). I`ve personally never needed it in the 8 years of owning the house. It can get hot during the day in the summer, but it cools down significantly at night. There are maybe 4 nights out of the year when it`s uncomfortably warm at night, and that`s why I got the A/C unit :) It`ll only get hot in the bedrooms upstairs. The downstairs area never gets hot.
✹ The system will place an automatic `hold` on your credit card as a sort of damage deposit. It will only be charged if there is any damage or excessive cleaning
