That said, the neighborhood is quiet, so please, no party groups!! The house has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The master suite (downstairs) features a tile shower, while the other bedrooms and full bath (shower/tub combo) are upstairs. It also has a tile mudroom, covered porch, spacious living room, and an open kitchen and dining room. There is a high-def TV with streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.) and an antenna for local channels, a fully stocked kitchen, a washer and dryer, and Ethernet and wireless internet access in every room. There is off-street parking for several cars in the driveway. And we have a second driveway that accesses overflow parking space behind the garage. This is a good place for boats, campers, trailers, etc. It is an older house, and the stairs to the second floor are steeper and narrower than those found in most homes today. Most people have no problem (our kids are fine on them), there is a handrail (and baby gates available), but if you have trouble with "normal" stairs, you'd want the downstairs bedroom. Vermont Meals & Room Tax ID: MRT-10499425 Guests have the entire house and property to themselves. The garage can be made available if a lot of snow is expected. We will most likely not see you at all during your stay, unless we are in the area and you need us for some reason. The location is centrally located between Stowe and the Village of Waterbury in a quiet, picturesque neighborhood. It's quite private, but the location is also close to some of Vermont’s finest attractions. The Ben & Jerry’s factory and the Cold Hollow Cider Mill are both within 2 miles. Also in town are many amazing restaurants, including Hen of the Wood and Michael’s On the Hill. We’re very close to Waterbury’s newest bar/restaurant/yoga studio, The Zen Barn! And nearby Stowe boasts too many fine restaurants and pubs to list. Just across the street is Hope Davey Park with playground, a skate park, ball fields, Frisbee golf, and walking/x-country skiing trails. A short drive from the house is the best downhill and x-country skiing, boarding, mountain biking, hiking and canoeing in New England. Within 10 miles lie Stowe Mountain Resort, Trapp Family Lodge, Waterbury Reservoir and the Lamoille and Winooski Rivers. Skiing at Bolton and/or Sugarbush is doable, just a half hour drive, or less. You'll want a car. There are great jogging loops right from our house, and the paved road is also very good for road biking, or for warming up if you plan to access the area's many Mt. bike trails. Strict no pets policy! Kids are very welcome. If you book, please take minute to tell us a little about your group to satisfy our curiosity :)
