  ICE PRISON WASTE OF MONEY2/10We booked this property for a ski trip and paid a premium for mountain access. Instead, we were trapped by a steep, icy gravel driveway that should never be rented in winter without proper maintenance.The driveway already had 2 inches of solid ice before we arrived. After a few inches of snow, our 4x4 SUV with new tires could not get out. This was reported to the owner Saturday morning, who said a plow would come. It never did. We spent 2–3 hours shoveling and chipping ice by hand just to escape and missed most of a paid ski day.Conditions worsened after freezing rain Sunday night. By Monday morning, we were completely stuck again. Calls for help went unanswered, and we ultimately had to contact local authorities because we were trapped with no guidance. Only then was professional maintenance finally dispatched—far too late.The owner later admitted this happens multiple times each season, which makes the lack of routine plowing and sanding even more concerning. This entire situation was preventable with basic winter maintenance expected of short-term rentals in Stowe.We lost ski time, money, physical energy, and peace of mind—and were placed in a dangerous, negligent situation.The house itself may be fine, but the lack of winter safety planning makes this property unsuitable for winter stays.Book elsewhere unless you want to risk being stranded on ice.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner:
  "Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m truly sorry for how stressful the winter conditions were during your stay and for the impact this had on your ski plans. Once I was notified, I returned your call and immediately contacted our local sanding service to help resolve the access issue as quickly as possible. Mountain weather can change rapidly, and while we work with local professionals to manage winter conditions, I understand how frustrating this situation was. We appreciate the feedback and will continue working to ensure guests feel supported and safe during winter stays."

  House had everything we were looking for short ski weekend. Cozy, stocked kitchen, everything worked without complications. We had a lovely time.

  We loved this cabin. Great location in great setting in nature. We loved the fire pit near the creek. The inside was very comfortable and clean. Bathroom was nice to come back after day hiking. It has a great shower and large jacuzzi tub to soak. Was very private and quiet which is nice in todays fast paced world.
