Amazing and Spacious Home! Love the amenities, hot tub, fire pit and fully accommodating hosts!
Our stay for our daughter’s graduation was amazing! House was spotless and fully stocked with sheets towels paper towels etc. We enjoy our stay immensely and will be back! This was close to so many great restaurants, distilleries, breweries and the biggest Ben and Jerry’s. We loved everything about this stay and the hosts were easy to reach and checked in with us!

Classic Vermont!
The accommodations were delightful, the house is roomy for a large group while maintaining a cozy feeling. Nicely stocked with pots and pans if you want to stay in and cook! The house is very close to the mountain, and the hot tub and fire pit make for a wonderful evening.

ideal for our family vacation minus snow and ski
we loved this home-the layout, amenities including hot tub and firepit-felt like camp! kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed meal prep and eating in the dining room. TVs were great library for reading and quiet worked well great mud room and we needed it as it was muddy instead of snowy we hope to return as a family when there is real snow to ski.

Awkward entry into garage that met us with a waff of musty/moldy smell and plethora of owners personal belongings. Entire old/rustic - could use some updating. Coffeemaker wasnt ready for guests - filter and old coffee grounds werent emptied. Owners food in fridge and pantry - odd?!?!

Mixed
I had good communication with the owner but admit was disappointed by the over all experience. For such a high cleaning fee, I did not expect to have to make the beds when I arrived, but did find it was in the fine print. The house is in decent condition, but having the furniture all covered with furniture blankets made it feel cheap. The heating was erratic(hot upstairs and cold down), and I was awakened one night with water noises, which turned out to be a flushing of the water system right next to the bedroom. If you are looking for lots of beds (we were not) the place would be perfect. The kitchen was well equipped, but not used to things being in the refrigerator (or dressers for that matter) Still, we enjoyed the gas stove at night and card playing at the dining room table.

Birthday Gathering
We had a wonderful stay at Hiddenwood! The house was comfortable and able to accomodate a lot of people. The fire pit with wood galore, hottub and property - and proximity to hikes and rivers - enabled us to have the quintessential VT experience. The kitchen was well equipped. The sheets on the bed were delightfully soft. Our host was always accessible to address any of our questions. We did not want to leave!

Roomy house for 2 families
This house had plenty of rooms on 3 levels for 2 families and 1 dog, with a nice raised deck and expansive outdoor space with a hot tub. The kitchen was fully equipped, if a bit overstuffed. Everything has a comfy lived-in feel. If you need to work, the wifi was flawless. Just minutes away is a hiking/mountain biking trail and a beautiful small brook with brook trout, and the town isn't too far away either, so all-in-all it's a great location and we had a fine time.

Weekend Stay
Our entire family stayed at this property (7 adults, 2 young children) as we were going to a family reunion in the area. The house was very spacious with lots of beds. It was more than adequate for our needs. Some of our party briefly used the hot tub and enjoyed it. We didn’t really get to explore the area much as we were there primarily for the reunion. However, the house worked out great for us and was perfect for our needs.

Great place for a family vacation!
If you're looking for a fancy place where everything matches, this isn't it. But if you want a place that's cozy, comfortable, spacious, and lots of outdoor space with fire pit and hot tub, and is in the middle of everything you want on a vacation -- streams, swimming holes, Warren Falls, Waterbury, and Waitsfield, a foodie's heaven -- rent this house! Also, owners are super helpful and respond immediately if you need something. This is our second year renting and it has made our Vermont vacations a delight.

Old school feel
Great spot feels like staying at grandmas house. Rather than a character-less corporate run stay, this actually feels like staying in someone’s house. Very cozy, and we even saw a bear in the yard! Would recommend this stay to a family or group of friends looking to hang out and spend quality time together.

Excellent vacation get away in Vermont VT
I had a very pleasant experience staying at the property. The check in, check out was clearly instructed and written. House was superb, clean, arranged and had every thing a person need for a comfortable stay. The location is great and all the locations to visit were closeby. Nice wood bonfire arrangement. We had a great fall colours weekend and fun. Thanks so much for the hospitality and services. Thank you !

Wonderful house!
This house was such a wonderful gem. We had a lovely time hanging out cooking. There is so much bed space and outdoor space. We loved the campfire. This place definitely had cabin vibes! If someone is very picky about spiders and dust, may want to consider this, but it was totally fine for us.

Great house for extended family
This house met all our needs for our extended family. We were attending a family wedding and had 10 people spread out through the house. We really enjoyed the fire pit. Communication with hosts was prompt. Please note the house had A/C only in certain rooms but the house stayed cool using open windows and fans even in the August 80 degree heat. Would stay here again!

Great Location Not So Great House
Beautiful wooded lot, peaceful location with easy access to surrounding activities. The house was disappointing. In dire need of cosmetic upgrade and some TLC. House was poorly maintained with safety concerns. One look at any of the wiring or hook ups revealed patch work. The smoke / CO2 detectors were non-functional and were at end of life (not able to replace batteries). Upon arrival the kitchen sink had a significant leak with water dripping from under the sink cabinet and floor and carpet quite wet. The contact person was responsive and did have the plumber come out the next day. Unfortunately the sink still had a slight drip after the repair. The weather allowed for open windows but the majority of the screens were so bent that a significant amount of mosquitos kept getting in. All the window sills had a collection of dead bugs. The level of cleanliness was bare minimum. The tubs and toilets and kitchen counters were clean but rest of the house was not. Vents filled with dust. Anyone with asthma or allergies would have a significant problem. I needed to take sinus decongestant most of the week as the house was musty. The house has some charm and potential but desperatley needs improved level of cleaning and upgrading. The kitchen was a disorganized mess. The hot tub was a joke. All clips on the cover were broken, the sandbag put on the cover to hold it down had a tear. We were told that the water had recently been changed but was hard to believe. Didn't feel it was clean enough to use. Awesome Weber grill on the deck and plenty of cookware. The string of lights around the deck were nice but one bulb was broken with half of it still in the socket and most of the other bulbs were not functioning. The contact person did have another box sent to the house which arrived on either Wednesday or Thursday. The instructions for the 5 remote controls in front of the main tv did not match up and was very frustrating to figure out. We are tech savvy and it still took an annoying amount of time to figure them all out. We actually left a day early because we had enough and would rather be in our own clean, safe, uncluttered home. A walk through between guests or at least periodically could eliminate some of the issues but an overall upgrade is sorely needed to make this a relaxing, inviting home worth the price.

Nice space, but needs a good cleaning and was not ready for us.
This is a fantastic location, and the house is huge and has lots of potential. Unfortunately, the house was just not in an appropriately clean condition and ready for us when we checked in. The entire house is dirty, worn out, dusty and smells musty. The rugs are dirty and worn out. There are cobwebs in corners and dust. There were lots of bugs inside which we discovered was due to the windows and screens. Many screens are missing, and some have holes or are bent so bugs can freely come in. There are some window air conditioner units that have large gaps around them, which also allows insects into the house. Every problem we had, that we passed on to the guest contact, was blamed on a large party that had been there before us that left the place dirty. That may be, but the problem shouldn't be passed on to us. The check-in info states that all beds will have clean sheet sets in bags on the beds. This was not true for ANY of the beds. Instead we found sheets loosely folded or wadded up in the closets that we had no idea if they were clean or not. Many of these sheets had holes in them, and the mattress pads were filthy too. We eventually found the sheets were supposed to have in the wash. The dryer was jammed full of sheets that were damp and smelled like mildew. The washer was full of bath mats that also smelled. So we had to spend time on our vacation doing the wash that the cleaning crew didn't finish. We also found a load of towels that had not been laundered so we had to do that as well. The trash in the garage was overflowing and had swarms of flies around them. The guest contact stated that the party before us had locked the garage so that the trash couldn't be collected, however we found the garage to be unlocked. The hot tub was also absolutely disgusting. It was dirty, sandy, murky, and smelled like a moldy gym bag. We were advised that they do not use chlorine and use a natural chemical that we could add. The chemical did little to clear the water and nothing to kill the smell. The mildew smell is caused by bacteria, which is extremely dangerous in a public hot tub to not treat. This problem was also blamed on the party before us. The kitchen and refrigerator were full of opened food. I've stayed at lots of rental properties and opened food is always thrown out, but not in this place. Also, my kids found lots of rusty nails and screws all over the deck, to the point that we did not feel comfortable having them out there. The grill on the deck was also disgusting. Completely coated in grease. We reached out to the guest contact the night before checkout to see if we could get a late checkout. This was mentioned by the contact when we checked in as a possibility due to the condition of the cabin. The contact stated he would check, but then I never heard anything back. The next day after we checked out on time, he stated that the cleaners never got back to him. No solutions were offered for the poor condition we found the cabin in. Overall, I will not stay at this property again, nor other properties managed by Evolve. This cabin is in desperate need of a thorough cleaning, and some TLC.

Perfect place for a celebration weekend
It was the perfect place to have family stay and celebrate together. There were plenty of sleeping spaces. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking tools and all kinds of spices and condiments. The hot tub and fire pit were great in the evening.

Great Potential For Groups Of Skiers But Maintenance Issues Hampered Our Fun
While we were very impressed by the location, layout, features and responsive owners of this home, some significant technical difficulties and cleaning shortfalls lead to us having a less than perfect visit. In short, had all the amenities (hot tub, wood stove, ping pong table) worked as promised, this would have been a good destination for our two families and two small children, but it is probably best suited for a large group of skiers who are planning to spend less time inside than we were and care a little less about upkeep. First, the pros – the house is super close to Mad River, Sugar Bush and the adorable towns of Waitsfield and Warren. It’s private, there is lots of space, there are a million comfortable places to sleep, a big deck, a great fire pit stocked with fresh wood and a big hot tub situated next to it. There were fresh linens, an abundance of clean towels, and the kitchen had ample plates, silverware and glassware for a large group. There are a number of TVs, games and movies, and a big dining room table for group meals. When the issues described below came up, the owners were instantly responsive and did their best to remedy them by sending technicians. Our disappointment lies both with the fact that they were unable to do so, and that they resisted our request to refund one of our four nights as compensation. The cons – When we arrived on a Thursday night we found the hot tub didn’t work (52 degrees). We emailed right away and after following the owner’s suggestions to fix it to no avail, he had a technician out the next morning. It could not be fixed. The wood stove in the living room didn’t work, and similarly, despite suggestions from the owner, it could not be started. These were two of the primary reasons we picked this house for a late fall visit. Additionally, we found a number of beer cans throughout the house (two full ones under the wood stove), one in the shower downstairs, and another under the couch. The refrigerator door was so full of left behind items there was no room for any of ours, the beer refrigerator in the garage had broken glass and stale beer, the ping pong table was warped and unplayable (probably from beer being spilled on it), and the propane grill clearly hasn’t been cleaned in ages (we used the charcoal instead). Again, for a big group of skiers, maybe not a huge deal, but for two families with children hoping to spend time together, these were some major issues. I
