Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Waitsfield

Barbara's house was truly one of a kind—if we could give it six stars, we would! Every detail was thoughtfully designed, from the heated floors and cozy beds to the warm wood-burning stove. The huge windows perfectly framed the mountains, giving us breathtaking views from every room. The artwork added a unique touch, and the location near skiing made our stay even more special. An unforgettable experience! We were so sad to leave.

We had an amazing stay at Bjorn's beautiful home where it was as picture-perfect as advertised! It is a gorgeous and modern home that was clean, well-stocked, and uniquely designed in such stunning surroundings (even in the rainy weather!). We cannot recommend Bjorn's home enough and are so appreciative of his accommodations in helping us celebrate our Middlebury grad!

Cozy, Quiet, Peaceful. There were plenty of other houses around, yet very quiet and peaceful. The hot tub was very clean and inviting. The house was very clean and cozy. The arcade games were very amusing, and I have never played bumper pool until our stay here, it was interesting. It was a great place to stay and had a lot more to offer than the postings say. Thank you for letting us stay is such a great place.

Overall we very much enjoyed modern rural space. Kiss the Cow farm about 5min drive was amazing& we got most all main food there w/ additional items from Barnard General Store. Spices/ cookware were very good - we brought nonstick pans& 1 knife to supplement. Plenty bowls, measuring cups/spoons, maybe a set of tom collins glasses would be nice albeit stemless wine and rocks glasses available. Needs garlic/onion powder. Tub was amazing/ upstairs bathroom a true getaway/ relaxing space. It was as pictured albeit note spiral staircase &open grated flooring upstairs. Plenty of windows albeit not much cross breeze so think ahead if bring own fan and/or start A/C before get too warm. I would say you must have an SUV year round for this rental - surrounding roads/ driveway are a good distance on rough dirt/gravel - traversable yet a sportier car with low profile tires/ ground clearance would not work. We enjoyed simply walking driveway& East Barnard Rd. Barnard Inn restaurant worth it.

The Barnbrook House was like something from a fairytale. It was more spacious than we thought looking at the photos. I loved my stay here, Dana was very communicative and timely. The fireplace was a great feature of the accommodation which we made good use of. I liked how there was an off grid vibe without actually being too far away from modern conveniences like Wifi, TV, AC. I would stay here again.

Beautiful home, as described. Nice personal touches with towels and mini shampoo/conditioner. Kitchen is large and has most every appliance you would want. Caretaker does come in twice per day but is friendly and unobtrusive. You do need AWD/4WD to access the house.

We loved spending our time in Vermont at Bonnie’s place! The house had everything we needed and Bonnie was a great and responsive host. The horses next door were such a treat for our kids to see and the views were beautiful.

Amazing experience! We stayed here for a family getaway and loved the setup of this home. It’s close enough to area attractions like Warren Falls, Sugarbush Resort, Lawson’s Finest Liquids, and restaurants/grocery stores/shops but secluded enough that you can truly enjoy the surrounding nature. The home is immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. It’s perfect for families/groups as it offers plenty of space on multiple levels, a nicely appointed kitchen, and a large backyard complete with a beautiful fire pit. If you are looking for a great placed to stay in the Mad River Valley I highly recommend choosing this rental!

Very tranquil place, very clean shower, comfortable bed, great amenities, lots of magazines and easy to use television. Very short distance from Montpelier. Nice bird variety, lovely flowers, you can hear the river from the apartment. Bridge is cool, river bank is fun, chairs outside.

We really enjoyed this airbnb, the expansive and peaceful lawn, the apartment with it’s comfortable living room, the family dogs. The host, Rich, was very friendly and welcoming. We had everything we needed and would love to stay there again.

We had the most fantastic stay with Sheila and Jeremy! The home was spotless and beautifully decorated. Sheila was a proactive and responsive communicator. But what stood out to us more than anything were the various thoughtful touches provided during our stay. We arrived late, after a long drive, and Sheila and Jeremy were there to meet us in person and help carry our bags inside. They had fresh muffins waiting and even left some snacks (cheese, crackers, grapes) in the fridge in case we hadn’t eaten dinner. They also provided coffee, tea, milk, honey, which was great in the mornings, and we so appreciated having access to the washer & dryer to do some laundry. Overall, we can’t say enough good things about our stay and we hope to return!

We had a wonderful stay at the Monty's place -- the apartment was well stocked with many thoughtful items, the area is very peaceful and near to outdoor activities, and the hosts were friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

Ideal, beautiful location for visiting Middlebury and this gorgeous region of Vermont. The setting by the river is stunning and soothing. The unit is very comfortable and has everything you need. The host is gracious and welcoming. We feel so fortunate to have found this lovely location!

We had a great holiday weekend in Charlotte at Robert's apartment. It was close to the mountains we wanted to climb and a nature preserve where we skied. Close to Burlington and Middlebury where we found dinner each night. The apartment is cozy and comfortable; really a delightful place. We also met Robert who was funny and the perfect host. We stayed during a massive winter storm that dumped so much snow on the area and Robert was always very interested in making sure we could get out of the driveway! There were also thoughtful snacks and what not for us when we arrived which is such a nice bonus. We will definitely check to see if the apartment is available the next time we come to VT. Thank you so much, Robert! We hope to stay with you again soon.

Pleasure staying at your place as always. Best of luck to you!

We absolutely loved our stay at this Airbnb! The location was perfect—just a short drive to the main drag in Stowe, which made it super convenient to grab coffee in the mornings or enjoy dinner at one of the many great restaurants nearby. We initially booked because of its proximity to other areas we love to explore, and it didn’t disappoint. The house itself was spotless and well-maintained, and the hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. One of the biggest highlights was the view—absolutely breathtaking and a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. And we can’t forget the hot tub! After long hikes in the mountains, soaking in the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located stay in Stowe. We’ll definitely be back!

We just completed our second stay at Ted and Linda’s beautiful and serene cabin! It was as immaculate as the first time we stayed last year. Everything is as described and pictured. Very clean and well maintained. Friendly and responsive hosts. My husband and I are grateful to have found this peaceful cozy cabin in the mountains of Vermont! 10/10

Wow, this was the BEST AirBnB we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed so much the beautiful cabin and surroundings. Even more we appreciated how well Stacey communicated and prepared things. She even made a custom Vermont cheeseboard for us to welcome us to her place. This is absolutely a perfect place if you are looking to get away and experience the outdoors. Will remember this trip forever!

Tania was so friendly and helpful. Her property was immaculate - I could have sat in front of her pond forever! All of her animals, including Chewy, were super cute and interactive. Her cabin was so cozy and beautiful. Perfect size for just one person or two people at most. I would so stay here again!

Our stay at Tim and Renee’s was perfect. Gorgeous tiny house, super comfy, the hot tub was amazing. The spot the Airbnb is on is very private and peaceful. South Royalton is a cute little town with a nice food coop and coffee shop. Tim and Renee were super responsive the couple of times we had questions. Would absolutely come back.

Heidi's place is a wonderful cabin in the woods with all you need to enjoy the nature in Vermont. Super peaceful and the property is well maintained. I would highly recommend staying here to enjoy your vacation!

Great little getaway. My fiancé and I were able to have a peaceful retreat to this beautiful cabin. The scenery is breathtaking. Quiet, private, and off grid in all the right places. Peggy was so sweet and her pup too! Would love to visit this perfect little cabin again.

My husband and I were looking for a romantic/peaceful getaway for our anniversary this year and this fit in every way. The photos don’t do the view justice. Absolutely stunning. The apple trees were in bloom and smelled amazing, the whole atmosphere was perfect. The cabin was beautiful and rustic, but also very clean. The cows across the street were adorable to watch as well. We went to local places to eat that had great food! Travis was super friendly and polite and his pup Winni was adorable. We felt right at home for being away from home. My husband and I highly recommend this spot for the perfect getaway!!

Sweet little cozy camp, very clean and comfortable. I would certainly stay again.
