We have done a few family vacations with VRBO. We have to say this is the house that has given each of us the private places to gather. It is so well set up for diverse ages and desires. Even our 16 year old could have her evening baking time because all the tools were there! And the area offers something for everyone. Some did off roading. Others explored the area history or just hiked and explored. And our host was so gracious and helpful. Perfect family place.
Deb and Phil's home may be the finest vacation home we've ever visited. Absolutely beautiful inside and out, the setting and siting idyllic, wonderfully equipped. Our hosts were helpful when needed and otherwise unseen. An absolutely delightful stay!
Beautiful house, terrific location for access to Stowe and Waterbury. We received early property access which helped us settle in quickly. We received a nice welcome basket with an extensive information book and a variety of local snacks and flavors. Game closet was equipped with a stockpile of family games. Just so youâre aware if you are traveling in the summer, some days can be hot, as ours was. Like many New England properties there is no central air conditioning, and common areas are extremely warm and no portable fans were provided. The bedrooms are cooled with window units which is helpful.Homeowner may have been on property while we were there (which is not allowed with VRBO), but stayed out of sight.
Everything about this property epitomizes Stowe - the beautiful views of the mountains, the comfort and amenities of the kitchen, all of the bedrooms, the relaxation of the hot tub after a long day of skiing, and the friendliest host around. Itâs hard to consider staying anywhere else on a return trip to Stowe than at this beautiful home. Thank you Deb for sharing your home with us.

From the start, Deb made renting her beautiful home seamless. Their well appointed home is on a large parcel of land with rolling hills. It snowed a lot when we were there and we went sleigh riding in front of the house! Gas fireplaces and wood burning stove made our stay very cozy, plus we loved the hot tub outside after skiing and snowmobiling. There were only 4 of us but the house can fit many more people and families. The house has many rooms, nooks and places to have your own space. I canât say enough on how lovely Deb is, I feel like I know her!! It was my sons 30th birthday and with Covid we weâre looking to do something special. This exceeded our expectations and we are still reminiscing of our time in Stowe!
Canât say enough about this house. Perfect for our family vacation. 6 adults and 3 children and we were all very comfortable. Views and outdoor spaces were incredible. Perfect location with a short drive to downtown Stowe and still close to Waterbury as well. Deb was a great host making us welcome and prompt and courteous with any questions. Made our stay even that much more enjoyable. Would definitely rent this home again.
Our 3-generation family loved this property. The kids immediately fell in love with the backyard "playground", the foosball table, and air hockey. The cooks were delighted to find every kitchen tool and appliance, including plastic storage containers for any leftovers. There were plenty of places for adults to hide when the kids got too noisy. Our five year-old suggests you be sure to check out the hot seat on the potty in the master bathroom! [I'm sure it is a big plus in the winter time.]
The hosts provided lots of information about the local area, including shortcuts to avoid high traffic areas. Deb was very responsive to our questions.
The home was warm and comfortable and it definitely felt like our "home away from home". We would definitely stay there again.
