Photos and Description of the Waitsfield vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

WELCOME TO THE SNOWS NEST, not merely a 'ski house' but a year-round vacation home in Vermont's beautiful Green Mountains. Perfect for weddings, graduations, cultural or athletic competitions or just a getaway.

Want to hit your reset button? REALLY need that R&R? Want to play hard, eat well, and fall asleep at night with that wonderful tired feeling that only time in the out-of-doors can bring you? Want to relax and be silly and have fun and leave all the day in, day out monotony behind, if only for a short while? Give yourself a break and refresh, recharge, reconnect, relax, regress! Tell the adult in you to take a hike! (really ...)

Some rentals are pretty bare bones. We plan for you to enjoy every minute of your stay in Vermont with all sorts of comforts and amusements. We have EVERYTHING you want. Three good-sized bedrooms sleep 6, 1.5 baths, large rear deck, covered front porch, fully furnished, 3.5 acres with small pond. Off the beautiful Common Road area east of town. Views to the west. Please look at the pictures, as they say it all! Very livable! Our home is designed for YEAR ROUND fun and relaxation; for family and social gatherings.

Open floor plan, warm tones, radiant heat floors, gas-burning fireplace. Appliances include gas stove, d/w, microwave, full w/d.

NEW IN FALL 2011: Fresh w/w carpeting in MBR, new solid core doors to bedrooms for more privacy; expanded space in MBR, all bedroom closets updated for better storage, replacement carpeting on the stairs.

If you MUST work while on vacation, we offer a PC with DSL Internet and workspace and WIFI for your own computer. Just don't work too hard.

YOUR CHILDREN AND FLEA-FREE, WELL BEHAVED PETS ARE WELCOME.

We strongly discourage smoking, but if you must, outdoors ONLY, and dispose of butts appropriately.

About SM Reilly

Animals rule! We welcome well-behaved, flea-free pets with the exception of some dog breeds (sorry, our insurance requires it). We realize there are good dogs and bad dogs out there of every breed, but the following breeds are generally acknowledged to carry the greatest risk ...pit bulls, akitas, rottweilers, chow chows, presa canarios, or any wolf/dog combination. Mixed breeds fine (who doesn't love a mutt).

SM Reilly purchased this house in 2007
Why SM Reilly chose Waitsfield

No better place on the planet than the State of Vermont! Sure, great skiing, but great all year round too with the wonderful outdoors yours for hiking, biking, fishing, tennis/golf, birdwatching, we just can't list it all ... get away from the daily grind, Vermont will help you hit your reset button!

What makes this house unique

The entire house is planned to be a walk in/walk out operation - just pack your suitcase, and stop at the grocery store, everything else you need is here already. It is VERY clean, and furnished specifically for family and social gatherings. Enjoy the unspoiled and varied scenery for dog walking, biking, or just kick back on the front or back decks and watch the wildlife. Waitsfield can cover all your shopping needs.

Our family (2 adults and 2 kids, ages 10, 7 plus our dog Bear) have stayed here multiple times. Great location, quiet, scenic and the home is well appointed and comfortable. The value is excellent and the owner is very accommodating and attends to the small details. Just perfectly suited for a relaxing stay.

What a beautiful house, in a quiet spot! We enjoyed our visit to Waitsfield very much. The house was perfect and cozy and had everything we needed. Our dog loved running in the snow in the yard and meeting the neighbors' dogs. We enjoyed meeting the kind and interesting neighbors, including local farmers. It was a short trip to Sugarbush for skiing, and we had one day of cross country skiing down the road at Blueberry Lake. We came back in the evenings for homecooked meals in the well-appointed kitchen (only missing a coffee grinder! We always forget to bring ground coffee!). The gas woodburning stove is a nice touch we appreciated! This is the first time we've stayed in Waitsfield, instead of Warren, and it was fun to explore the back roads and charming farms of Waitsfield. We'll definitely be back again. Thanks, Sheila!

What a great ski vacation! A perfect location for us with both downhill and cross country skiing only minutes away. Our sons loved Sugarbush and Mad River Glen, and we loved Ole's. Your house was well equipped so that we cooked all our dinners at the house. We brought our own paper products - but we were astonished at how well-stocked up you already were.
Besides the skiing, we enjoyed poking around the shops in Waitsfield - especially the pottery place. We had wonderful lunches at Easy Street and the Warren Country Store.
We look forward to a return trip - maybe even this season. Thanks for hosting us.

We had the most delightful experience in this cozy, clean, comfortable home. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get away, yet be close enough to the quaint towns of northern Vermont for exploration. Even the neighbor was exceedingly friendly when we locked ourselves out! The paths around the house, the beautiful deck, the roaring wood stove....all made for the most wonderful stay for our family of 6. Thank you!!
Owner's Response: In case anyone's wondering, Judy is no relation to the owner. Thanks, Judy, for your kind words.

I stayed in the property with three friends for three nights in August 2012. Booking the house was a breeze, and Sheila got back in touch with me promptly to answer any questions I had about the arrangements. The house itself is very comfortable, and really provides everything you need to feel at home. The deck outside is great, and the grill promises you could have some pretty great BBQs there. I had one friend who needed to (unfortunately) catch-up on some work, and found the wireless internet to work without a problem.

The hous is located a short drive from mainstreet, where there are a number of cafes and outdoor rental shops. As we spent most of our stay occupied with our friend's wedding in the area, so didn't have too much time to explore the area. But did enjoy one morning jog, and saw a fair number of friendly walkers/bikers on the way
