We loved our stay at the Sugarbush Tiny House! It was the perfect location, close to great coffee, shops, and restaurants. Very close to outdoor recreation as well. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The property is stunning! We had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Location and Amazing Price
The location near the mountain, the peace and quiet, the view from the cabin, and the cabin itself is amazing and perfect for a group of 2 or less. The cabin supplies pretty much everything someone needs to live comfortably, it was clean, well kept and cozy. The price was very reasonable. The owner is very respectful, helpful, and communicative! The only gripe I have is the road leading in to the cabin is terrible, especially after a storm. It’s made of dirt and a little bit of gravel. If you don't have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, you gotta gun it in and out, and pray you don't get stuck. I hope the residence of the neighborhood come up with a better solution to make that road into something better. Besides that, HIGHLY recommend this place!

Tiny but great
The place is nice and has all of the amenities you can fit into a tiny house. I wish they would open the loft so that you don’t have to pull open the couch in order to have a bed, but that is the only downside.

Thank you Tonya! The loft was just designed for storage. Unfortunately there is to much liability with the very low ceiling, railing height and type of ladder to allow guest access.

A Quiet and Comfortable Sugarbush Getaway
The tiny home is well designed and beautifully built, maximizing a small footprint. You will find everything you need and luxuries you might not expect. The location could not be better, just down the road from Mt. Ellen's base. All kinds of activities are available just around the corner regardless of the time of year. A couple of things to prepare for: 1. As the owner mentions, If you're traveling in the winter, an all-wheel-drive vehicle with good tires is highly recommended. The road is local, and there's a slight incline to the drive that without these, you might get stuck after a snow storm. 2. My partner and I were surprised by the curtain-only restroom divider. Communication with Mike is effortless, and his response time was always quick if needed. I would recommend staying here, and we certainly look forward to revisiting Vermont!

The Tiny House was perfect for a short getaway to enjoy winter sports in a nice, convenient location. The house is just big enough for a couple to enjoy affordable, modern amenities after a day of skiing at Mt. Ellen or snowshoeing right outside your door. The owners were very nice & helpful.

Cozy Tiny House
My wife and I stayed at the tiny house 9/30/21-10/3/21 while we attended a MINI Cooper rally, based at Sugarbush. "Cozy" yet comfortable, the tiny house provided everything we needed. We were impressed with the design, materials and finishes to the space. The only down side was the construction activities happening onsite. The owner reached out to me 1-2 days before our stay to say there would be work going on, and offered the opportunity to rebook for another time. While that wasn't a viable option, we appreciated the open communication. Unfortunately, due to the proximity of the new house being constructed, the views from the tiny house and overall privacy have been compromised.

Peaceful summer retreat
The Sugarbush tiny house was the perfect home base for us visiting for a weekend of mountain biking and hiking. The house was very clean and well stocked with all the essentials, including large fluffy towels. The bathroom was a pleasant surprise and roomier than expected. The storage shed was perfect for our bikes. I hope the location keeps it's secluded feel even if eventually is a shared lot with a home (under construction).

Perfect place to get away?
We had a wonderful stay. My fianceé had her first experience in a tiny house and enjoyed it immensely. She sees it as a practice run for some RV travel we've been discussing. And the level of detail paid to the organization and amenities blew her away. I enjoyed the functionality, practicality and convenience of the property. This is perfect year round as a home base for activities in the area, or just sitting on the porch and listening to the birds in the morning. The hosts are gracious and are available for questions or needs; no issues presented themselves. This was an A+++++ experience. I will be recommending it to my friends and coworkers as a definite highlight if they plan to come up to the area. Finally, this trip was extra special as I proposed to my (now) fianceé; so memories were made on this trip and especially because of our stellar experience. Highly recommended.

The Tiny House is an amazing place to stay for you and a significant other. It has all the amenities of a full house but expertly condensed into a small house, like a travel van. The property manager was very easy to get a hold of, easy to work with, and quick to fix any issues. We would love to come back.

Amazing Tiny House
This Tiny House is awesome! The location is great as it’s right next to Mt. Ellen and only 10 minutes from Mt. Lincoln. The house makes great use of space and has everything you would need. The radiant floor heating and wall heater keep the house very warm. The bed is super comfortable even though it’s a pullout couch and was in great shape. It was a little difficult to pull out/fold up due to its proximity to the wall when fully open but with two people (one on each side) it was a lot easier to open/close. The bathroom and shower were spacious. The house had tons of places to hang all our gear which was very nice. It snowed during our stay and the driveway and street were plowed early and often which made it easier to get around. This house was wonderful and I would definitely recommend staying here!

This is exactly what we were looking for. The cleanliness, convenience, and privacy of a cabin combined with the minimalism of camping and being there for the outdoors, not staying inside. Mike and Joan were very attentive to make sure we knew where to go, what to do, and kept an open line of communication in case anything came up. Can't recommend them enough, we'll be back for sure.

Great First Tiny House Experience!
My husband and I rented Mike and Joan's tiny house this past weekend for a ski getaway and had a great time. Although the area got more snow than expected which made it difficult for our Honda Civic (no snow tires) to get out of the driveway, Mike kept in contact with us and his snow plow service and we were able to get the car out. Mike and Joan's tiny home kitchen was well equipped and we were pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed tiny living for the weekend. The sofa which converted to the bed was very comfortable, and it was really nice to get out of bed and have the heated floors greet us rather than waking up and being startled awake by chilly floors. The TV had access to Netflix as well as a chromecast for us to cast movies from our phone, so we were able to enjoy a nice movie and some local brews after a long day on the mountain. Highly recommend visiting Mike and Joan's cozy tiny house!
