The many positives:
3 minute drive to the intersection of Mountain Rd and Main St
Amazing view of Mt Mansfield and Camel's Hump from deck, hot tub, floor to ceiling windows in upstairs living room and dining area, and large picture windows in upstairs king bedroom and downstairs family room and king bedroom
Private wooded lot, the road has less than 10 houses on it so very few cars, you can barely see the road from the house or yard, and you can't see any neighbors from the house or yard
The Weber grill, hot tub, and dining table are sized for 8+ people
Soaring knotty pine ceilings in upstairs living room, dining area, kitchen, king bedroom, and adjoining bathroom
All 4 bedrooms have large en suite bathrooms
Very comfy and generously sized couches, perfect for napping
Wonderful additions would be a recycling container, a chaise lounge on the deck, and towels for the hot tub.
The only negatives:
Please check the audio-visual setup because we couildn't get the sound system to work until we realized all but one of the speakers throughout the house were unplugged, we couldn't get the downstairs TV remote to work until we figured out the batteries were in backwards, and we couldn't get the DirectTV to work and didn't want to spend any more time troubleshooting it.
This house is managed by Stowe Country Homes. They're friendly and professional, but they don't give you the address until you pickup the keys at their office. I followed their instructions for requesting early check-in/late check-out, but didn't hear back from them. And they encourage you to use their concierge service for restaurant and activity reservations, but their concierge told me I no longer needed reservations (which wasn't true for several of the restaurants I'd listed) and which bike shop they recommended (but to make reservations myself).
