Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Mad River

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 a great stay at William’s. The location was beautiful and the house was comfortable. We had a great mix of day-tripping and relaxing with a view. We also ran into William and he was very helpful and friendly.

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.

Very nice host !! Airbnb was very cozy and accessible, would highly recommend :)

We loved our stay here. This is such a wonderful and unique home that is full of personal touches. Exceptional views and easy to get into town. This was one of my favorite stays in over 10 years of using AirBnB, I only wished we could stay longer.

Very comfortable stay in a beautiful setting.

This is my second time staying at one of Jess’s properties - and I’m sure it’s not my last. The property is beautiful inside and out and has everything you need. I was in town for a full week and this place was just what I needed to relax after long work days. I can’t recommend staying at one of Jess’s places enough. You won’t regret it!!

The pictures on the site represent 100% and more! We arrived close to midnight in complete darkness only to wake with the peaceful sounds of nature, surrounded by majestic trees and lush northern foliage. My only regret was that I had to rush back home and not have more time to explore the area. Don’t pass up on an opportunity to stay at Raquel’s gorgeous, warm and inviting woodland cabin, unless you prefer hotel powdered eggs 🤣

Everything was great about the stay! Highly recommend if you’re in the area. The place was exactly as pictured and felt very comfortable. I even accidentally left something behind and Susan promptly messaged me and mailed it to me. I have plans to be in the area next year and hope I can stay there again. Highly recommend!

Bernadette was extremely wonderful to meet!! It was great having her for our host for our stay! The little balcony is wonderful, great kinda private little space to sit & enjoy the weather! everything was great & as described! Only thing that was a bit difficult was the stand up shower is pretty small. It was a bit tight washing up. Other than that even the traffic from the beltline wasn't bad at all!! when your inside with tv on you can hardly hear it!! Thanks so much for being such a wonderful person & host to us! Absolutely would stay again in the future if we ever need to find something!!

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.

This was our 2nd time staying at Peter’s place. We enjoyed the personal touches like fresh eggs, coffee and juice in the fridge. It’s a good space for a couple who is out skiing all day. 7 min to Mt. Ellen is unbeatable for the price. The road up to the house can be slippery in the snow / mud so recommend the right vehicle. The place could be a tad cleaner, there were toothpaste splatters etc on the mirror but overall the place was clean enough.

Great place to stay for skiing Sugarbush or Mad River Glen, convenient to restaurants and shops. Very quiet setting, just be prepared for a little bit of non-paved road to climb to access it. The apartment felt more spacious and open than I expected, and accommodated 3 adults quite comfortably. Wax bench was a nice bonus for us skiers!

We had a great stay. Lucy’s place was clean and comfortable and close to everything downtown—easily walkable. It was also really quiet, despite being so close to everything. We are looking forward to going back!

We were visiting relatives in Montpelier and found the location excellent and the accommodations clean and comfortable. Alex's were clear and our checkin (and checkout) were smooth. We would be happy to stay here again.

Clean, quiet and comfortable, nice to be able to park in garage. Basically farmhouse setting with a herd of cows next door. Note that house was a bit further down the road than the GPS indicated.

Couldn’t have asked for more. Cozy, clean and such a comfortable place to stay and exactly what was described in the listing. I’ll certainly be booking again! Tricia’s communication was perfect, everything very clear and didn’t have to reach out with extra questions.

Cute little place that was a perfect location for our visit to Stowe. Walkable restaurants and stores and even the places we had to drive weren’t far either. The place was very clean and perfect for our group. Would definitely come again!

What an awesome place!! This is the perfect spot for a great weekend at Sugarbush. I can’t wait to stay here again next year!

Extremely nice cabin, very recently renovated. The owner has a keen eye for organization, everything is neatly placed where it should be. Linens are clean, beds were super comfortable. Amazing stay, thank you Cathy

This was my second stay at Tom's place at Sugarbush. Location is top notch. Well situated on the mountain. Ski on Ski off (short walk to the trail) but walkable, even with kids. Its a great location nearby a few restaurants and Mountainside Ski Shop. Parking is easy. Loading in & out very easy. Its very comfortable, clean, and the kitchen is well stocked with anything you'll need to cook while you're there. Bonus, upstairs bedroom window has a great view of the mountain. I would gladly stay there again & again.

Roxy was very responsive. very easy self check in. Great location in Smugglers Notch. loved that the kitchen was fully stocked!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Father–Son Getaway at CozyCub! My son and I stayed one night at the CozyCub condo in Killington, and once again, Dan and Holly delivered a flawless experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged—exactly what we look for in a mountain bike trip base. Comfort & Cleanliness: The condo was pristine, with comfy beds and fresh linens—like a home away from home. Attention to Detail: Every essential was readily available, from kitchen basics to crisp towels. Perfect for a Duo: Ideal layout and amenities for just the two of us—no waste, just well-tailored space. Consistent Excellence: We’ve stayed with Dan and Holly before, and CozyCub continues to meet our high expectations. This stay earned a full five stars. Thanks again to Dan and Holly for providing the perfect retreat—we’ll be back for our next biking adventure together!

Very comfortable stay - convenient to ski wither Sugarbush or Mad River. Philip sent specific instructions for turning the heat up on arrival. It took a little while to warm up, but individual thermostats in LR and BR worked nicely. Local recommendations for restaurants and such were spot on.
