Amazing place!

The space was perfect for a weekend getaway and so much fun. There’s plenty of activities to do in the house; the pool table and table tennis were especially fun. The surrounding environment is really picturesque and relaxing.

Excellent place

The Mad River Valley is one of the nicest places to be in the whole country, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better place to stay in Waitsfield than right here. It's exactly as the listing says, and our stay couldn't have been any easier or more convenient. 10/10 would stay again.

Great place. Beautiful views of the mountain. We loved the pool table. Kitchen is fully-equipped. Cozy bedrooms. Stairs to loft are very narrow and steep. Also be mindful there is dirt road to travel on to get to the house. We would stay here again.

This hit the spot! All pictures and descriptions were accurate. Lovely, clean, spacious loft for the 4 of us. Great location in terms of accessibility to many locations: Waitsfield, Stowe, Warren, Waterbury and Burlington all of which we visited in our 3 days.

This was the second time we stayed at this cozy carriage house and again we were so pleased with everything. It is very clean, comfortable and has everything to make your stay absolutely perfect.

Fun summer getaway to Mad River Valley

Had a great time with our teens and dog. Property has a great view of mountains and is a quick drive to town for groceries and restaurants. Also near swim holes and dog parks. Pool table was a bonus and lots of board games available too.

Hidden Gem

What a fabulous place for our ski get away. The carriage house was perfect for my husband, dogs and I. Was nice to be in a neighborhood but still close to Sugarbush, comfortable to relax in after a day on the slopes. Jennifer was so kind and helpful, wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again, thank you Jennifer!!
