Perfect getaway to Mad River Valley
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. It is also close to town which is very convenient. Jennifer is an excellent host! I can’t say enough positive things about this place!

Hospitality and charm to the max!
Our group was an extended family reunion of sorts, including three adult siblings, each from different NE states, and one elementary aged child. We booked the carriage house for a fun weekend away to experience the 2024 Eclipse in the path of totality.
The carriage house ended up being perfect for our needs. Cozy and charming, with great views. The well-stocked kitchen made mealtime a breeze, and the pool table was a huge bonus for our motley crew of kids-at-heart. Will definitely be back the next time we are in the Mad River area.
Jen went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable during our stay, even inviting us to view the eclipse from the deck of the main house after our check out that morning, which made for a truly unforgettable experience. Thanks again!

Gorgeous post & beam apartment with a view of the slopes. The kitchen is well appointed, there was a huge supply of fluffy white towels & heating lamp in the bathroom was so nice! But the pool table was the ultimate hit with my teenagers!

Lovely retreat in the hills of Vermont
We had a wonderful stay over the July 4 weekend- dodged some rain and saw some sunshine- the view of hills are beautiful either way from the living area of this beautiful carriage house. Enjoyed some nice walks in Waitsfield, visited Stowe, Waterbury and also Burlington and Montpelier. Rainy evenings spent playing pool in the living space, cooking together in the well appointed kitchen area or relaxing with a book in the comfortable sleeping areas. The stairs to the second sleeping area in the loft are a bit steep, but we navigated them twice a day with so much to do downstairs! Thanks for hosting us.

Great Stay
We had a relaxing and fun time at the carriage house. It is close to a lot of awesome towns and hiking spots. We enjoyed the town of Waitsfield including the farmer's market on Saturday morning. We took a hike at Lincoln Gap- a little challenging for us- but beautiful. The only downside to this location was that it was too far from the town where our daughter lives! Thanks Jennifer for a great stay!

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!!

Log cabin loft in the mountains
We loved staying at Mad River Valley. It’s a beautiful modern loft/log cabin/barn. The kitchen had all the dishes and cooking gear a family/small group would need. Comfy living room area, TV has a bunch of streaming choices, very nice pool table. Bedding and towels were plush. Bathroom stocked with full size toiletries. Very close to downtown Waitsfield, great view of Sugarbush, atop a windy/steep clay road which is fine with all wheel drive/snow tires.

Carriage house
We had a wonderful time at this property. Location was great, the view was amazing. So peaceful and quiet. Stairs going up the loft were a bit steep ( loft not suited for tall people but was doable), beds were comfortable. Super clean and had everything we needed. Directions were easy to follow. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful relaxing stay
This is a beautiful property and has everything needed for a relaxing vacation. My husband and I booked the carriage house recently to decompress after a long and exhausting summer. Despite plans to visit local attractions/sights, the carriage house was so warm and welcoming, we found ourselves wanting to stay in and enjoy it. There is a great local grocery store, Mehuron’s, with a delicious deli/treats. We stocked up and alternated between long naps, watching movies, taking local walks with our dog, relaxing listening to music, playing pool and cooking simple meals (property has everything for this). It was some much needed down time and we loved every minute of it. The king bed was so comfy, you just melted right in - best night’s sleep we’ve had in a long time. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood with nothing more than the rustle of leaves when the breeze kicked up. Beautiful views of the mountains out the front of the property. Convenient location as well. Close to Sugarbush, we headed out that way for dinner one night (Rumbles Bistro & Bar) and then grabbed lunch another day at Hogan’s Pub on the golf course - best views in the area!! Quick to get into town for anything you need, also some fun/great stores to visit. We grabbed smoothies at The Sweet Spot which we enjoyed sitting by the river after shopping. Jen, the property owner was great to deal with, quick in responding, answered every question and provided great suggestions/tips for our stay. We had the pleasure of meeting her when we arrived. We would definitely book this property again. Highly recommend.
