House vacation rentals in Mad River

Beautiful spot, and a quick walk to the bus stop if some of your family is taking too long to get ready!

This location was one of my favorites! More than accommodating, so clean, super family friendly! perfect space for family and friends to gather and enjoy the time together 💜 it was an incredible stay, we cannot wait to come back!

We had a fantastic getaway to Breadloaf cottage. The gorgeous view, pristine kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Took in the gorgeous and serene view while eating in the dining area and reading on the couch. Beds are comfortable and view from master bedroom is breathtaking. William provides local guides, board games and many books available to read. William provides recommendations on local shops and restaurants, we were able to get to few of them and the local farm-table restaurants were amazing. Favorites were Hyde away, mad taco, mad bush falls. Local shop owners are beyond friendly. Our adventure took in hike at Blueberry lake with amazing views, Von Trapp farmstead for local honey, bread and cheese. The only difficulty we had was mud season started and the road to the cottage was hard to navigate. Thankfully we have a AWD off road SUV that could handle the thick mud. We loved our stay at Breadloaf, looking forward a return trip 2026.

We have stayed at this location a number of times of times. Winter, Spring, Summer and fall and it never disappoints. Great location, close enough to the action but very peaceful. I stayed there with my family and kids (6 and 2) and it is perfect. I have also stayed there with buddies for all ski weekend and also perfect! House is extremely comfortable and impeccably maintained. Amenities are as advertised. Bob is a great and responsive host, though with the way the place is kept and the great instructions provided you likely won’t need to contact him. Really, get this place. You won’t be disappointed!

Our stay in Sara and Mikes home in Waitsfield was incredible! Upon arrival into the mad river valley, the surrounding views were instantly beautiful and calming. The moment we stepped in the house we honestly felt right at home. The layout of the house is so calming and tasteful. Everything is perfectly organized, down to the labeling for all of the dishes and cookware so you’ll never have trouble finding what you need! Waking up and heading by downstairs for a workout in the home gym, followed by a dip in the hot tub on the secluded back deck was an insanely relaxing way to start the day. The custom built bed frames/furniture and the overall craftsmanship of the space added a comforting artistic value to the stay. Don’t get me started on the screen porch! This house is full of amenities and I’ve honestly never felt more at home at an air b&b stay. Nice quiet respectful neighborhood in an amazing community, would recommend this spot to anyone and we hope to return in the future!

Our stay was great at this home. It was a charming home with modern decor. The home was perfect for our family of 4 and my parents. The location was also perfect for us as we wanted proximity to skiing and to family who live in the area. Lots of good space in the home with the two living rooms. The bedding and towels provided were of good quality and the kitchen appeared to be well stocked. We only really ate breakfast in the home but we had all we needed. I would definitely stay there again.

The best stay around! Barre is a great little walkable town with shops and restaurants to explore. It’s only a short drive to local ski / snowboarding mountains as well as some hiking. The house was clean, spacious and very nicely decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed that made it feel like we were cooking right at home, which we loved. Karen and Courtney were responsive and very helpful!

Great location and lots of space. We were able to ski in/out (look for "Cliff's Road" sign when skiing back) fairly easily, which was nice. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

We adored Bjorn’s place. It is absolutely gorgeous, light filled, and cozy. We would love to come back!

This is a great house to stay in. There's a lot of space, places to sleep, sit and relax, eat, watch tv, play games, work, read, cook. Plenty of hot water.. Very private, although in a neighborhood. Nice back yard area when not covered in snow, looking up at the mountains behind. Sheri is top notch. Easy to reach, super friendly and helpful, easy going. We came at the tail end of a snow storm, but the driveway was cleared enough to get our car in and then Sheri worked with us to make sure everything was cleared before we had to go out the next day. Easy walk into the cute town of Bristol. Handful of nice shops (books, games, art, crafts, gifts, toys) and restaurants: Wokky's--ok Chinese/great staff; Minifactory--out of sight coffee/biscuits/sandwiches/fresh ingredients/lot of gluten free; Cubber's--locals' joint/excellent pizza/sandwiches; Farmhouse Chocolates--superb fresh organic truffles, bars, caramels/chocolatier is wonderful. Easy drive to Mad River Glen, Sugarbush for skiing.

This home is beautiful, spacious and is surrounded by nature. The backyard had a huge deck with a tree lined backyard and you can hardly see the next neighbour. There are rolling hills and cows in the next pasture. So serene. The house has lots of room in the main area for our family, it never felt crowded. The kitchen looks better then the pictures, with a huge island and the entire house is fully stocked. You can tell this is not just a rental as it had more then we expected to live comfortably. She was also kind enough to bring us some baby items. The location is great as wherever you turn it's beautiful but also within driving distance to Stowe. The local towns are really cute too. Our family really enjoyed our time here.

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.

Incredible space - only complaint is we didn’t rent it for a week! Luxe details - the beds, the towels, even the smallest thoughtful details made it extraordinary. Jen nailed it, 10/10. My family agreed it was one of the most relaxing, comfortable weekends we could’ve experienced. Truly special. Thank you to Jen for taking the time to create such a wonderful space for guests to enjoy.

Kim was super kind and went above and beyond to help me sort out a situation even before our arrival. The home is located in a quiet beautiful area, it is super comfortable, beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable. We had plenty of towels and linens. My kids enjoyed playing games in the basement, and my husband and I enjoyed watching TV and reading by the fireplace. I highly recommend Kim's place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Stay! I had a wonderful stay at Tamaras’s place! It was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped with thoughtful touches. The location was perfect/close to everything yet peaceful. Tamara was super responsive and helpful. Highly recommend and would stay again!

The house was perfect for our large family in town for the UVM graduation. Very close to school and close enough to walk to Church Street. The house was comfortable and clean and came as described. Having no access to a kitchen sink was the only thing that was somewhat difficult but we knew going in that we had no kitchen to use. Coffee machine, microwave and toaster got us though the weekend.

This place was perfect for our large group. To start plenty of parking in the drive way. Plenty of room in the house for everyone to not feel on top of eachother. The hot tub was great after a few long days of skiing. Lastly if you’re looking for a place close to the mountain it doesnt get much more convenient than this location. Also plenty of places to grab drinks or food near by. Would definitely stay here again

The house is beautiful and very homey and comfortable! The view of the mountains and slopes was magnificent and we saw a gorgeous sunset and lots of snow! Location was great to go skiing and into town. Aaron was very helpful. We had a great stay!

Liza’s home was beautiful, and it couldn’t be closer to Stowe Mountain Resort. It was the perfect ski trip house for my group, and the host was incredibly accommodating and helpful.

Very unique house with incredible views. Great location for getting outside, and had everything we needed. Was perfect for skiing and we would love to see this place in the summer!

We had a very nice stay, especially appreciating the proximity to Sugarbush and the responsiveness of the host.

Home away from home! Susan was a fantastic host. She was very responsive and communicated quickly. This home was perfect for our group of 6 and it was extremely cozy! This was our first time in Vermont and it definitely exceeded all of our expectations. If you looking for a pleasant place to stay with amazing views, look no further than this adorable Airbnb! We skied in Stowe, toured the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream factory down the road and enjoyed some live music at the ZenBarn. I would highly recommend this property! We hope to visit again soon :)

always a great stay I love visiting this place quiet neighborhood with great neighbors always a great time and Meg is a great host would recommend to anyone who visits

My group and I enjoyed staying a few nights at Karen’s place. Great location in terms of being close to the town center and Stowe Ski Resort. For such close proximity to attractions, my group thought Karen’s place was a great value compared to some of the other listings in the area. It also felt private and had a very nice view. We enjoyed warming up by the gas fireplace after a long day of skiing.
