Holiday houses in Mad River

Kismet Cottage was everything we hoped for. Beautiful location and lovely apartment. Waking up every morning to the view of the lake never got old. Vermont at it's best. We've now enjoyed the winter here and hope to return at a minimum of three more times to experience the place in spring, summer and fall.

The location was very close to the base lodge at Sugarbush mountain and a direct drive to Mt Ellen. The unit had many amenities for any group using this place for their active lifestyle. A mudroom for all your gear and outerwear, a convenient outdoor locker to store your skis and snowboard and a relaxing hot tub, made this place totally worth the rental.

We loved this home. The lakefront location was beautiful and convenient. It is 20 minutes away from both downtown Burlington and a lakeside state park we visited for a hike. The home was a great fit for our family. The proximity of the home to the park was terrific for our dogs. Would definitely book again.

This was a great place for 4+ people. It was nice to have the 2 bedrooms on a different floor. The space near the door to organize all the ski/snowboard equipment and apparel was perfect. It was an easy walk to restaurants and stores. I didn’t get to use the deck because of the cold but it looks like a lovely place to sit and enjoy the view. Overall it was a nice and cozy place.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how well-maintained and spotless everything was. The house was not only neat and clean but also thoughtfully equipped with every small detail you could think of—from kitchen essentials to a great selection of board games that kept everyone entertained. What really stood out was the host Kaylee’s responsiveness and attention to detail. She was quick to reply to any questions we had and even went the extra mile by arranging for someone to clean the driveway during our stay when it snowed, which we really appreciated. It made us feel well taken care of and added to the overall comfort of the trip. The combination of a beautiful, clean space and a caring, proactive host made our experience truly memorable. We loved our time here and would gladly return in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable gateway!!

Barbara was a wonderful host. The space was perfect for the four of us over the holiday break. Our kids especially enjoyed the game room and took advantage of the puzzles. Cozy home with great views and privacy.

This condo is a GREAT location if you're skiing at Stowe. Being able to make a right turn onto Mountain Rd in the morning (if you're familiar with Stowe traffic you'll understand what I mean) and be at the slopes in less than 10 minutes was amazing. And with the Topnotch Resort being on Mountain Rd, you're right in the heart of all of the restaurants and shops, too (the ever-popular Matterhorn is a very short drive away). The condo was spotless and cozy we all found the beds to be especially comfy. Overall, a great stay!

Location was amazing. It was more than enough space for our crew of 10 and 3 levels of living space and made you feel like you were in a separate house. Its a super fun house for families that like to play games and enjoy time together. We never felt the need to leave the house to go out to a bar or restaurant. And although it was fully disclosed that it is a shared space, it was still a little weird to have people in other units that were attached and hearing them do their laundry right on the other side of your bedroom door.

Perfect location! Mad Bus stops right outside the front door. Nick was very helpful and responsive. Will definitely book again.
