“We loved the house, and the views were incredible. It's incredibly quiet and peaceful there. Owen was a fantastic host; he was very kind and very helpful as we needed a few things for our stay.”

“Second time I stayed at this house which has now been beautifully renovated. Amazing location and view! Close to Stowe with lots to do in the surrounding area. Host is excellent and very helpful!”

– Cameron, February 2026

“Staying here felt like a well stocked home rather than a bare bones AirBnB. We loved it!”

– Davida, February 2026

Hosts Laura and Owen were outstanding. The house was beautifully cleaned and ready for us. The hosts provided us much important guidance about the house and related to our stay in Stowe. They were always immediately accessible.
