This is a perfect place if you love the quiet and peace of nature. We made a few meals in the kitchen which is well equipped with anything you might need. The bed was extremely comfortable. There are plenty of board games and the pool table and ping pong table were a hit. Beautiful place and hope to return some day.

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!

Fun summer getaway to Mad River Valley

Had a great time with our teens and dog. Property has a great view of mountains and is a quick drive to town for groceries and restaurants. Also near swim holes and dog parks. Pool table was a bonus and lots of board games available too.

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! We’ll definitely be back!!

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!

One of the most beautiful places I have stayed. There were three of us and we couldn't believe how much space we had. The stairs to the loft were very steep so my 70 year old mom wasn't able to safely go up there but we knew that going into the reservation and gave her the master bedroom (just something to keep in mind if traveling with kiddos or seniors). Waitsfield is the cutest town and I would love to return again. This was also the perfect place to stay for the Mad Marathon. Wonderful location.

1 to all of the positive reviews on the VRBO site. The barn has an authentic Vermont feel and the surrounding neighborhood is nice and quiet (even on July 4th weekend.) The MRV has so much to offer throughout the year and this property allows easy access to all of it. Would definitely return for another relaxing vacation. Thank you!

The Mad River Valley is one of the nicest places to be in the whole country, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better place to stay in Waitsfield than right here. It's exactly as the listing says, and our stay couldn't have been any easier or more convenient. 10/10 would stay again.
