Mountain Cabin Bordering State Park. Hiking, Private. Special Place, Great View!

Tucked in the forest near the end of a dead end dirt road this cabin sits on a ridge with awesome views and sounds of a creek below. Fully renovated interior in 2021 yet keeping its rustic charm. Peaceful and quiet nestled against Camels Hump State Park, but still the luxury of high speed internet. Master bedroom has large picture window towards the forest with the creek below. Enjoy morning coffee on the porch with its beautiful south eastern exposure. Minutes from Waterbury and Waitsfield

This 1 bedroom cabin with a loft in Duxbury is perfect for your escape. With a cozy queen bed with a view in the master bedroom. 2 twin beds in the loft that can be made in to a king.

Propane Fireplace in living room adds to the ambiance. Set to a thermostat or just turn it on!
Hiking into the state park is right from your door. Quiet and not used by many people, connects to 14,000 acre Camels Hump stayed Forest. Also makes great cross country skiing on the groomed Snowmobile trails in the winter.

Fire pit outside the cabin. Charcoal BBQ for you to enjoy. Here the Dowsville creek from bed after a night of rain!

Four wheel drive in winter needed. Any car in summer is fine.

Comfortable, cozy, not kitschy, with nice appliances and furnishings. The location is beautiful and serene - heavily forested, with a babbling brook running alongside the property. The place is clean and well-kept. The shops and restaurants in Waterbury are a short drive away. My only quibble with the property is with the upstairs beds, which made a horrible racket when you turned or shifted your weight.

Mountain getaway

Peaceful cabin with beautiful mountain views - the perfect place to unwind and renew. We enjoyed playing games and relaxing in the coziness of the cabin. And also had fun taking walks in the surrounding area and hiking nearby. The cabin had everything we needed and very easy to check in and out.

This is a great place to relax, recharge and refresh your soul amid bucolic and peaceful surroundings. There’s a spacious deck with a stunning mountain view. The master bedroom features a huge picture window overlooking a deep, wooded ravine with a hidden brook (and we think we heard the whooshing sound of a waterfall down below). The home appears newly renovated and is spotlessly clean. We’ve stayed at four Vrbo properties and this was our favorite. HEADS UP: One morning, our navigation app led us to turn right from the home’s driveway, drive briefly up the steep hill and turn left on Dowsville Heights Road. We quickly reached a point where the road was not maintained, and our Toyota Corolla Hatchback could no longer continue the route. We managed to do a k-turn, but the sound of the car’s underbody scraping hard ridges in the untended path alarmed us. Unless you’re driving a vehicle that can handle rough terrain, stay off of Dowsville Heights Road.

What. A. Gem.

Beautifully tucked away in the hills of Vermont, the house has all the essentials you’ll need for a quiet get away. We did some great snowshoe hikes and went into Waterbury and Waitsfield for provisions and Prohibition Pig. Peter was responsive and thorough in his communication.

Amazing experience at special cabin

Our stay at this cozy cabin was amazing!! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The cabin was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. The warm, inviting atmosphere was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host responds very fast if you have any questions. You can walk down the road and find the most beautiful brook. The sounds are amazing. We are definitely planning to be back a second time!

Perfect weekend getaway…

My partner and I had an incredible time in this beautiful cabin in Duxbury. It had everything we needed for a quiet, weekend stay. We spent one day hiking nearby Camel’s Hump ( a wonderful Class 3 scramble!). And spent the next day indoors while it rained, enjoying the beautiful views from the bedroom and living room. We cooked and baked, and opened up some great cans of beer from nearby breweries. Best of all was the easiness of checking in and out with Pete and Sandra. They were remarkably generous and kind towards us. As well as very prompt with their communication. We hope we can come back soon!

A Special Place w Mountain Views

A special, beautiful place in the mountains. My husband and I spent time here to celebrate our anniversary. We loved the house (just a pictured), the views (be sure to get up in the morning to see the clouds low in the valley below), and the surrounding walks/hikes (follow the snowmobile paths surrounding the house - gorgeous, quiet, some parts are relatively untouched, some elevation - especially the steep walk up from the house). We visited neighboring towns with other hikes along the way. Spent the most time in Waterbury where we visited Ben & Jerry's, sampled Cabot cheeses, Smugglers' Notch spirits (bourbon for us), Lake Champlain chocolate, and Cold Hollow cider. Fun afternoon! :) We also enjoyed walking around the town, visiting small shops, sipping cocktails at Prohibition Pig, and dining at Hen of the Wood. Also loved our day in Burlington, and afternoon at the Topnotch Spa in Stowe where we spoiled ourselves on our last day in town. The fall views as we drove from town to town were spectacular, as was coming 'home' to our little gem in the mountains each night. Thank you, Pete and Sandra, for sharing your special place with us and for your wonderful communication leading up to and during our stay!

Love this place!

This was our third time staying here over the years and we just love it! It feels like you’re a million miles away from civilization, which is so relaxing, but yet you’re actually close by to many great things to do. We always go to Warren Falls and The Mad Taco and neither disappoints! Peter and Sandra’s place is a perfect spot to get away from it all. The view is spectacular and the cabin has everything you need. Will definitely be back again!
