As featured in Conde Nast Traveler (1/21/22) Peaceful & impeccable retreat with a 180 degree view of Vermont's tallest mountains. Near Vermont's premier skiing, hiking, & outdoor adventures, you’ll love the sunset views and cozy atmosphere (huge sheepskin in front of the fireplace) and the attention to detail (live-edge wood details, spa-like bathroom). This is an incredible retreat for couples and families, adventurers and business travelers alike! COMPLETE COVID-19 CLEANING The stand-alone Above the Clouds Guesthouse was built with attention to every detail and a commitment to creating a peaceful, uplifting environment. While you're likely to travel to Vermont to partake in its natural beauty and outdoor adventures it's so lovely here that you may never want to leave. Located at the end of a quarter-mile-long driveway that passes through birch and hemlock woods you'll find yourself perched at the top of the world overlooking a 180+degree mountain vista. Other than the adjacent main house (located across the driveway but placed so both houses have privacy), the only signs of life are lights twinkling across the valley at night and the wildlife that shares the land. The 1000+ square foot open-concept second story can sleep up to four, while the 250+ sf downstairs can sleep another two on the sofa bed. Upstairs the hand-crafted wooden headboard, made from local maple, is a one-of-a-kind work of art that creates privacy for the queen-size primary bed. It is situated so it has incredible views of the surrounding mountains and enjoys morning sunrises and evening sunsets. At the opposite end of the room, the reading nook has a sheepskin-covered daybed that can be separated into two twins or turned into a king-sized bed at night. The couch in the lower living room converts into a comfortable queen-size bed (plus a memory foam topper for those who want it). Though the room downstairs is only separated by the open staircase, the downstairs becomes a cozy sleeping area. All bed linens, towels, and pillows are hotel quality with both down and non-down options. Our spa-like bathroom has a shower large enough for two with both rainfall and hand-held showerheads, plus a pebble floor to massage your feet. The sink is made from a hand-carved boulder and sits atop a spalted maple live-edge counter held up by a birch tree base harvested from our property. The skylight overlooking the adjacent forest top fills the room with light. The live-edge wood sliding door is a beautiful piece of art. For those who want to bathe in the midst of Vermont's great outdoors, there is an outdoor shower that affords complete privacy and absolutely amazing views during the summer months. For food prep and dining, the full kitchen has a KitchenAid dishwasher and Euro-fridge under-counter fridge/freezer (plus a full-sized fridge/freezer downstairs). It is equipped with gourmet appliances, including 2 high-efficiency portable induction cooktops, a full-sized microwave oven, a countertop oven large enough to roast a chicken. Best of all, is the dining atmosphere because there are incredible views from every window and a beautiful granite counter surrounded by comfortable leather bar stools. The living room, with views in every direction, adjoins an 8'x20' deck with clear walls, providing an amazing place for outdoor living high up in the trees. During warm weather, sleep under the stars on the sumptuous deck furniture; BBQ on the Weber grill, dine at the teak table, and roast marshmallows (provided) over the firepit on the garden patio; or take a relaxing outdoor shower while looking out over the valley! For your entertainment, the TV is hooked up to DirecTV and has a FireTV. There is also Bose Bluetooth speaker for listening to your favorite music. For some old-fashioned fun, there is a generous store of board games, books, and puzzles. Both houses are powered by the sun and have high-speed fiber-optic internet (500 mbps up and down). We offer a complimentary Level 2 EV charging station. TRAVEL: You'll definitely need a car to get here. Winter visitors will certainly want at least front-wheel drive and snow tires. During Vermont's mud season (generally from mid March through early April), however, AWD and good vehicle clearance are essential. If you're willing to put up with the mess of the mud, fresh maple syrup (and sugar on snow), as well as quiet-mountain and spring season skiing definitely make a mud season trek worth the adventure. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Day bed ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Hand-held showerhead - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Things to do - Hiking/biking trails - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Composting - Electric car charging station - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Recycling - Solar energy - Unit size: 1,300 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111140000/111130500/111130433/3e79b48b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy house in the woods, riverfront, trail, fireplace, wifi, w/d, bbq, balcony Moretown - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=111130433&PinnedHotelID=111130433&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101950000/101940600/101940583/572b6d6a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Light-filled retreat in Mad River Valley with internet & deck Fayston - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 5 reviews £435 includes taxes & fees 19 Oct - 20 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=101940583&PinnedHotelID=101940583&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99980000/99978400/99978390/cf9b29a6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quintessential wilderness retreat with mtn views & kayaks - dog-friendly East Warren - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 7.0 Good 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=99978390&PinnedHotelID=99978390&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Condo, 2 Bedrooms (Standard) | Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100910000/100902900/100902878/63c580c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bridges Resort Warren - Pool - Hot tub - Parking included - Free WiFi 8.2 Very good 13 reviews £166 includes taxes & fees 6 Oct - 7 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=100902878&PinnedHotelID=100902878&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91800000/91793000/91792952/0d03dabd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Moonlight Woods - Gardener's Log Cabin Duxbury - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=91792952&PinnedHotelID=91792952&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, books, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57720000/57720000/57719908/34af27d8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mountain views, luxurious surroundings, nearby skiing, and a hot tub!

We’ve been coming to this area for the last 3 years to celebrate our anniversary and this was by far the best place we’ve stayed. The listing doesn’t do the views justice. Waking up and looking out the window at the foot of the bed and seeing the sun shining on the mountains was breathtaking. I wish we had more time to stay longer. The house had everything we needed and more and the hosts were great. They reached out at the time of booking and a few weeks ahead of our trip with all the details on the property and offered suggestions of places to go in the area. If we decide to come back to the area next year, we hope to be able to stay here again. ##### Gregory K.

The incredible view is what we love most about it. Many reviewers, including myself, have described how special the view is. The added bonus, however, is that when there, you feel as if you have landed in a soft nest of comfort and luxury up in the trees. Marianne and Bob have thought of every detail to make their place not just a VRBO accommodation, but a pampered indulgence! They have succeeded in creating a space that is pleasing to all the senses - from the sheepskin throws by the fireplace, beautiful lighting, soft linens, cozy robes and slippers, perfect pillows, spa ambiance and amenities in the bath, a welcome wine and cheese board, local maple syrup, waffle mix, and gourmet hot chocolate and spices. And, as is not always the case elsewhere, even the pull-out beds here are high quality memory foam and every bit as comfortable as the beautifully carved queen bed. Couldn't ask for anything more! ##### Gail G.

My family, including two young kids, stated at this home above the clouds over the Labor Day weekend. The home was IMMACULATE and had every convenience. The owners were nearby and available, and very communicative leaving us potential itineraries, food recommendations, and overall being very welcoming. I cannot say enough and have never had as gracious a host for a vacation rental. The home was both cozy and had opportunities for separate space if needed. The views were incredible of the mountains both inside and with the outdoor space. The location was nestled with Waitsfield to the south and Waterbury and Stowe to the north. I would and do hope to return again! ##### Derek R.

My wife, two young children, and I visited for a total solar eclipse. We were completely blown away by the beautiful guest house, but especially the absolutely stunning views of the mountains. It would be hard to overstate how incredible it was to wake up to the view we had every morning. Marianne and Bob were extremely responsive and generous, and gave very detailed and solid advice when asked about how to make our trip successful. It was a really special visit with a lot of snow on the ground, and we are eager to come back and stay again in the warmer months! ##### Chris Q.

Marianne and Bob were the friendliest host that offered tons of suggestions for best places to bike/hike/shop/eat. The house is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. We’ve rented plenty of places to stay over the years and this was definitely the best one yet. Their attention to detail was exceptional, from the details they put into the build of the house, to the thoughtfulness of the items they have in the house for their guests. We look forward to coming back! ##### Trish C.

The views are breath taking, the architecture of the house gives it a feel of its own and Bob and Marianne are the best hosts on the planet. You are only about 20 minutes from Stowe and other smaller scenic towns and beautiful drives all around. This property will not disappoint and will leave you with a feeling of thankfulness that you were blessed enough to enjoy this truly unique and magical space. ##### Ross Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra K. 3 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing time and incredible views!! We stayed at Above the Clouds II over NYE weekend and it was such a magical place. We brought our two young boys and my mom. It easily slept 5. The views were even better in person — totally spectacular. We even spotted a rainbow across the valley! It was close to Stowe Village and Waterbury and we enjoyed exploring the area, but mostly just relaxing and being outside. I'm sure it's also great in the warmer weather. Marianne and Bob are great hosts. Highly recommend! We can't wait to go back! ##### Debra K.
