We spent a week at Fayston Barn with two families to explore the area and ski and had a fantastic time. The house is gorgeous inside and out, beautifully furnished and equipped with everything one could ever wish for. The kids enjoyed the game room as well as the spacious back yard. As adults, we enjoyed the amazing view over the mountains, watching movies or cooking in the Chef type kitchen. The house is well located, only a short drive away from nearby skiing and villages for shopping and restaurants. The owner Chet was also very responsive and help was available whenever needed. It was all over a prefect holiday and we look forward to coming back!

"It was just PERFECT for our son's wedding weekend!!!! The house is so gorgeous, the views amazing- the fire pit and grill so nice to gather around on our last night. We had 5 guests- so we all had our own space to enjoy. Thanks for sharing this lovely home and fun area of Waitsfield!

WOW! What a home!. Stunning views of the mountains, superior appointments throughout the entire home. Great floor plan. Very, very comfortable. Would recommend this home to everyone who comes to the Mad River Valley area. Kitchen has everything. Basement area is great, too. Like the fact there are 2 Master's and for those of you with children, the bunk bed room is perfect. We and our guests rate this home Excellent +. Just have to see it to believe it!
