RECENT REVIEWS - Design Retreat Near Stowe & Waterbury
"Magnificent house! It was thought out down to the smallest detail. We loved feeling at home, in an environment designed for slow travel. The house is well located for enjoying hikes and visiting nearby villages and towns… We got to know the resident groundhog wandering in the garden… and the owl that was certainly ruffling its feathers… In short, it makes us want to come back in winter to discover another side of this beautiful place! We fell in love with Vermont, but especially with this house!"

"A beautiful home in a beautiful location. The house was spotless with everything anyone could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We have been renting in the area for 40+ years and this was, by far, the best of the best. Hayden was so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!" Deb Aug 2026
" This is a special, modern retreat. it's perfectly situated on a secluded, private lot with a view of Camel's Hump. Clearly a lot of thought went into the site design, the landscape, and the perfectly balanced interiors. It's also perfectly located between Waterbury and Stowe, so we were never far from dining, shops, biking, and hiking. Would love to go again some day."

"Our stay was truly a five-star experience from start to finish. The home was beautifully appointed, thoughtfully designed, and had everything we could have needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals, and the linens were some of the most comfortable we've ever experienced.One of our favorite parts was spending time on the back porch. You could easily sit there for hours, taking in the breathtaking views, watching the wildlife, and enjoying the incredible sense of peace and tranquility that surrounds the property. The location is ideal—secluded enough to feel like a true escape, yet just a short drive from charming Vermont towns with wonderful restaurants, shops, and access to amazing hiking trails. It really offered the best of both worlds.
Hayden was a fantastic host. He was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and a wealth of local knowledge and recommendations that made our trip even more enjoyable"

"Our retreat in Waterbury Center was absolutely spectacular. The cabin was perfectly appointed with every amenity you can imagine, from the beautiful furniture and artwork to Artisan Coffee to Sonos surround sound. And the views! Seeing Camel's Hump at sunset from the privacy of our own porch was breathtaking. We also loved the location, as we were just far enough off the beaten path but had easy access to wonderful restaurants in Waterbury and Stowe" Scott Jun 2026
"Spacious, modern, and clean, the beauty of the house is underscored only by the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The property was perfect for our group’s ski weekend. Moreover, the host, Hayden, truly went above and beyond. He was incredibly helpful and very prompt in communicating. Simply put, the home is better than advertised – we highly recommend it!"

"The place is exactly what we wanted. A quiet retreat with awesome views. The house was so clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. The beds were SO comfortable. The deck was private and peaceful. But we all loved the sauna the best!! Even in the summer. Relieved all of the stress of the day, the week, and the month!"

"This was our second time staying here and our first time staying at a rental twice. It is such a thoughtful, detail oriented space inside and out. We especially enjoy cooking in the high-end, fully equipped kitchen. Hayden even took some time to show our son how to split firewood. We hope to return again soon. Thank you again Hayden for sharing your special home with us!"

"Incredible stay, well-appointed kitchen, top notch appliances and home with all possible needs; everything was very clean and orderly. Clearly a very thoughtful host as every single thing was considered for a comfortable stay. View absolutely amazing, favorite parts were using sauna, enjoying seats outdoors and lighting a fire as fireflies lit up the lawn and stars adorned the sky. Absolutely idyllic and peaceful with only sounds of birds with the backdrop of Mt Mansfield. Love the interior decor too.."
