By the Brewster Chalet was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the chairs and the firepit next to the river, a peaceful spot to relax. The deck was also nice with plenty of seating. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for preparing simple meals. The mattresses and pillows were comfortable. The washer/dryer and smart TV were nice amenities to have. The mountain pass on the road to Stowe from the Chalet is extremely winding as advertised but it’s a short segment of the road – we had no issues driving back and forth to Stowe daily. The chalet is right next to the main road and while it feels secluded, the traffic did keep us (light sleepers) up at night.

The Brewster Chalet was perfect for us. I was traveling with my grandson for a celebration of life and to show him all the wonderful things to see in Vermont, where his father lived throughout his childhood. The creek was the main draw for us and it didn't disappoint. The cottage was equipped with all we needed to cook simple meals.

Brewster for the Win
This is my third year staying in these chalet properties and they never disappoint! The Brewster Chalet was so cozy from the second I opened the door. It’s an easy and comfortable space to be in with all the things you need. From appliances, laundry, and blankets to games, puzzles and more. Maude responds to messages within the hour, always very reliable and trustworthy. One of greatest things to note of the Brewster chalet is the deck and “backyard”. It is massive and beautiful. My pup and I had a blast pouncing through the snow together! I’d imagine any season is the right season to stay here, what a joy. Can’t wait to stay again. Thank you again for another wonderful year! blankets and blankets,

Great stay for our skiing family of four!
We had a wonderful long weekend, the By the Brewster Chalet was so convenient for us just 2min from Smuggs. The listing was very accurate, it was cozy but had enough space for our family of four. Maude was very responsive and helped us make the decision about our dogs, which we ended up bringing along for a very easy and lovely stay. As it’s on a main road, there wasn’t a lot of walking opportunity, but that was clear from the listing and communication prior to our visit. It was just what we needed, had all the comforts needed, including some fun games and puzzles to enjoy. Overall a lovely stay and recommended!

Really enjoyed out stay. Just 2 of us and perfect size. Great location for doing things in Stowe. Loved the stream in the back too. Only struggle was finding it since it’s hidden by trees.

Great little get away
This place really worked out for us during a 2 night stay. Plenty of room. The creek behind the house added some nice ambiance while there. The view out from living room was nice. Visited few restaurants while there, The Family Table and Village Tavern. The location to Stowe was ideal as we took gondola up mountain and later visited downtown.

Mountain hideaway
Wow. This was such a great cabin. We got to drive thru Smugglers Notch almost daily. We were close to Stowe and just 50.minutes to Burlington. It is right by a highway, but the traffic is light. Super quiet and dark at night. So glad we booked here instead if an Inn or Hotel. Maude was very responsive and courteous.

Outstanding!
Wonderful location for visiting in summer. Our son loved playing in the river - water levels were low so it was safe to do so. Even though the property is right on a main road, noise wasn’t a problem at all.
Maude was a kind and responsive host. I love that there was no extra charge for our dog!

Another great stay
This was our 2nd time staying here and it was even better than the last! There were some new upgrades since the last time we were there which made our stay even more lovely. We spent Christmas there and we had sent our "elves" up ahead of time to for our girls to find when we arrived. Maude was wonderful in helping to get the elves staged for our arrival!

Great location, nice property
We enjoyed our stay. The kids had a really good time playing in the creek behind the property. The cottage is quite nice overall.
Fair warning: the mattresses are all foam, which I guess works for a lot of people - the kids were fine in the twin beds - but for me & my husband sharing the big bed, we prefer a much stiffer mattress, so that was a bit of a bummer for us.
